I attended a trade show last week in sunny San Diego, my former hometown; while there I had the chance to do some shopping of course; for some reason, important things sometimes escape my attention, and sometimes, I have to admit it takes me a while to catch on to the latest and greatest happenings.

Ok, so, has anyone heard of TOMS one for one movement?  I’m sure everyone has and I’m probably one of the last people to realize who they were and what a great company they are!  How it works, basically you indulge yourself buying these cute shoes, and you can even feel good about spending the money, because, for each pair of shoes you purchase for yourself, one pair is donated to a needy child, how great is that! I bought three pairs instantly! And I’m planning on buying for Christmas a pair for each member of my family, a total of about 20 pairs!  TOMS even makes itty-bitty ones for babies, I got some of those too!

Needless to say, I came home with renewed commitment for Ammee’s Blankets for Babies fund.  We are implementing our very own “Love One, Give One” movement and you can be a part of it!  It’s simple, buy a blanket only, enter coupon code LV1GV1, for every blanket you purchase at full price, we will donate one to a needy child somewhere around the world, and you won’t even have to pay the shipping for your blanket! (Valid only in the USA, sorry)…coupon is also valid for blankets only and it does not apply to sale or clearance items.  I know, if we give everything away we won’t be around very long:)

We have use the LDS Humanitarian Center since 2008 to take the blankets we donate to needy children; they will take your donated blanket to a needy child somewhere around the world:)  Truly, together we can make the world a little softer and warmer for a needy child.  Think about it, how much easier can it get? It’s a win-win situation!  Here is a list of other companies that offer the same one for one opportunity www.mashable.com you might want to do some Christmas shopping:)
