Gift Ideas for Little Ones

Hello Friends!

It’s been a bit since I have posted, but we are alive and well!  Addie’s Good(s) opened on May 14^th, and we have been overwhelmed by how blessed the shop has been and by how we have been blessed through it.  I’m sitting in the shop now, on a quiet rainy Wednesday, thinking about all that we have seen God do, and imagining all He might do in the future.  

Today, I thought I’d take a minute and share some gift ideas for kiddos.  Our family has already had a summer of baby showers and birthday parties, and I feel certain we’re not the only ones.  Addie’s Good(s) is a fantastic place to pick up a unique gift for a child, and here are a few of the items we currently have available for kiddos…

Headbands!!! This one is from Haiti, produced by a group that focuses on employing Haitians with disabilities.  Having a disability is viewed by many Haitians as being cursed by God.  This group is changing the story for so many men and women- and offering new, abundant life.

Adorable baby/toddler dresses handmade by mamas in Ghana.

Miniature raffia animals in a colorful woven pouch.  These are handmade in Madagascar by a group that employs 20 families!

Hand made bears and bunnies from India!  These are absolutely adorable and have great long legs and arms perfect for tiny hands to grasp. In a country with over 14 million people living in slavery, these provided dignified employment.

More bunnies!!! These are in pajamas, and so stinking cute.  Handmade in Burundi, a small war-torn country in east Africa.

Diaper bags!!! These great bags have pockets on the sides perfect for bottles, and lots of pockets on the inside, too.  These are made from recycled saris in India by men and women who have been rescued from the sex trade.

Who needs Taggies when you can buy this adorable dinosaur perfect for your little guy.  These are handmade in Zambia by a group that seeks to empower women through employment and education.

Know a little girl who loves American Girl dolls?? She will love this doll sized apron & one for herself to match... and one for Mommy to match, too!!!  These are handmade in China by women who are able to provide with dignity for their families through the work this group offers. 

What preschool/toddler girl doesn't love little purses??? Forget Gymboree, Gap, and so forth- these were made in villages in Andhra Pradesh, south India, by men and women who received a fair wage for the work in order to take care of their families. 

Hair bows and headbands handwoven in Guatemala by women who are given dignified employment through the group that produces them.  These super cute hair accessories are such vibrant colors and look good with just about anything.  My girls love to wear these!

Yep, my little guy loves to wear them, too.  These hair bows double as bowties, and are just too cute for words.

Baby/toddler quilt made in China by women able to provide for their families through the work that this group offers.  This is great for a coverlet for a toddler bed, or a fantastic quilt to put down on the floor for baby to play on.  Beautiful colors and so very well made.

These items would be loved by most any child or new momma.  There are other great options in store, too- jewelry, coin purses, owl pillows, and a variety of one-of-a-kind handmade products.  When you purchase a gift here, you are not only blessing the child who receives it, but the child of the man or woman who crafted it, as well.  A fun present for your kiddo-hope for another kiddo’s mama. 

Hope to see you in the shop soon!!!
