Gigil added to the Oxford Dictionary!
Big news, Gigil family!
The Oxford English Dictionary has officially added the word "Gigil" to its vocabulary! For those who might not know, "Gigil" is a term from the Philippines that describes that overwhelming urge to pinch or squeeze something irresistibly cute.
When we launched Gigil.com in 2017, we chose this name because it perfectly captured the indescribable joy and affection parents feel for their little ones. Back then, "Gigil" was a hidden gem of a word, unfamiliar to many outside the Philippines. It's incredible to see it now gaining global recognition.
We can't help but feel that our journey together has played a part in bringing "Gigil" into the spotlight. Over the years, we've seen countless mentions of our brand, helping to introduce "Gigil" to a wider audience. Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping spread the word of "Gigil" far and wide. Let's continue to celebrate those irresistibly cute moments together!
