Fabulous Friday GIFT ideas!

Hi all!! Today we're sharing a couple of websites that were brought to our attention and that we think would be great gifts! We haven't bought from either one, but loved the suggestions coming our way. Check these out!

First is Better Life Bags, recommended to by Elyse's friend, Beth. This is a company out of Hamtramck, started by a woman who just didn't like the bag choices when she was looking for a diaper bag. She now specializes in custom bags ...that are super cute! We also loved this company because Rebecca, the owner, donates a percentage of her profits to low income entrepeunuers. She also hires women who otherwise could not work and helps them get back on their feet. Love this cause, love the story, love the bags!

Next, Jayne recommended we check out Diamond Candles. This company started with a sweet story of the owner, David, who wanted to propose to Brenda but couldn't find a bag to put her ring in. Instead, he bought a candle because he knew she loved candles. In these 100% soy candles, at the bottom of the candle, you will find a ring worth $10, $100, $1000, or $5000! Plus they have all sorts of smells. What a great gift!

Lastly, this is a website that Elyse has been following on Instagram for awhile, called The Shine Project. This is another great cause, where owner Ashley started this company making jewelry. She employs all students that are at risk and helps them start a career and eventually transition into the world. They make seriously beautiful bracelets and stacks that are great to gift. Every purchase you make directly impacts a student ... and being teachers, we LOVE this cause!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend! XO, E & K
