One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed
a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked,
What are you doing?
The youth replied, Throwing starfish back into the ocean.
The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back,
they'll die.
Son,the man said, don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish?
You can't make a difference!
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish,
and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said
I made a difference for that one.
I love the story of the starfish. It is a reminder to me that sometimes its the small things in life that are the BIG things.
Whether its for a friend, a teacher, or someone special in your life that makes a difference to you! This is a great gift! Its also a great secret santa gift!
Perfect for both men and women, it can be used on a bag or keys or anywhere they like!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we sell wrappers?
We do not sell just wrappers at this time. Finished products only. Thank you for your interest in my products, which makes us so happy!
Please check for a convo after purchase
All of my orders are custom and personalized. I want them to be the best that they can be. Please check your message for a convo from me within 24 hours of your order (usually within an hour or two). So I can make sure your order is exactly what you want. I will send samples to chose from.
If I cannot reach you, I will have to cancel an order. I want to be sure you are completely happy and this is the only way I can be sure.
Please send pictures that you need on an order in a message on Etsy. Thank you!
Custom and personalized orders
Many items are personalized and custom. ALL my items are hand made. So each one may be unique and different. Colors may vary slightly on the ribbon. Thank you for understanding (especially during the pandemic, it is hard to find the exact same color but I continue to strive to make your products the best!)
What is a Production Partner?
I will soon be adding some items that will go to a production partner. This means that after I design your proof, I will send it to a printer and they will print it. This will mainly be backpacks at this time. This is in hopes to offer you more gift options!
How many bars do I get?
Almost all my orders are now in amounts such as 5, 10, 20, etc... You can pull down the "amount" section. If for instance, you need an amount not listed (example 80 bars) you can put two orders (or three, whatever you need) to add to the amount you need. Adding to your cart won't automatically check you out. So you will be able to see the total before you purchase. Thanks!!
Business Hours
My business hours are:
Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM EST (this is the same as NY, NY time).
I am closed on major holidays.
I will return messages as soon as possible. Even on the weekends.
Sizing details
I will add a sizing chart to any listings for clothes and bodysuits. The best way to make sure the outfit will fit is to measure a shirt that you have, that is your favorite. I know for me, all the shirts fit differently! I can wear three different sizes. So please measure your favorite shirt and go by those measurements. My personal policy is when in doubt, go a size up. But I know not everyone wants their t-shirts big. I will accept exchanges on non-personalized shirts. I understand things happen. You will need to pay for return shipping.

I really want to make your order! Thank you! If you don't want a proof, you just want me to go ahead, just let me know. That is totally fine! I just need to know. Thank you for understanding. I want you to have the best experience and love what you order!
