This Reader’s Daughter is Selling Christmas Ornaments to Buy Gifts for Those In Need
It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!😍
There are so many things I love about the Christmas season, especially the generosity and kindness that it brings out in people, but what has really impressed me this year is how giving the KIDS have been!
With everything going on in the world right now, it can be hard to see the good but I can tell ya one thing, we are raising our children right and this week’s Happy Friday story is proof of that. ❤️
My 7-year-old daughter recently overheard me talking to her best friend’s momma about how she wasn’t sure if the kids would have a Christmas at all. After I got off the phone, my daughter asked to use it. She was messaging a friend asking if she could sell some things at his shop so she could get money to buy them gifts. After I got done bawling like a baby because of how freaking great my kid is, I helped her figure out what we wanted to sell. We decided on ornaments. They were 50¢ for two at dollar general. I had the rest of the crafty stuff we would need at home. We started making them and they turned out perfect!
I wanted to share in case someone else may be looking for a super cute and cheap, cheap, cheap way to decorate their tree or if you have a world-changing heart like my girl who wanted to make some extra money to save a kid’s Christmas!
Merry Christmas!

How sweet, I remember when my spouse was a private in the Army for Christmas we got our kids gifts from a second hand store. They wee just as happy to play with the boxes lol
What a great feel-good Friday story! Great job Mama & little one. 🥰🎄
I love you guys so much! I told my daughter she could have the gift card since it was all her doing and she said, Mom- we can buy another gift for the kids! She blows me away. After the crazy year we have all had, I know without a doubt, it’s all gonna be okay because shes my kid and I’m sure a lucky momma to have her.
Thank you again for highlighting my girl! Shes definitely my world changer!!
My email is sweetklouise@gmail.com if anyone wants to get an ornament or help! We really are truly better together.
The animal rescue site by greater good is a good place to find all kinds of nice gifts and every purchase feeds a minimum of 35 shelter animals. If you’re ever looking for somewhere to get a nice gift and donate to a good cause. They even have a pet subscription box similar to barkbox for $27 and you can even get it for cats!
Could you please give me the website for the animal rescue? We cannot forget all the pets affected by Covid too🐆
My 8 year old daughter is painting ornaments and selling them in the neighborhood to donate to a charity.
My 11 year old and her best friend are doing the same. They make earrings and other little items. They started a page on Instagram. They have saved $50 to buy for local kids. Pretty good when you’re selling to your friends at $3-$5 each
I love that! Can you send me their instagram page so I can buy some earrings? Would love to help!
Please do post the Instagram handle so we can help too.
All these girls are so inspiring. With their hearts, brilliance, selflessness and action, our communities are going to have a bright future!! Bravo moms for promoting this and passing it forward.

I just wanted to take a second and say thank you from the bottom of my heart for those of you who donated to help with this. I could have never thought in my wildest dreams anyone would want to help my girl bring joy to others. I’m just so amazed how good we all can be together. You are helping us change the world our kids are growing up. You’ll never know how much that means to me. Because of your help- we went today and paid two layways off aynomonously. The woman working layaway told me one of the layways was for a mom of 5 who’s husband died because of the covoid and she wasnt going to be able to get the layway out. BUT YOU helped my baby and it became possible! Just wanted to say thank you again!
So sweet of you!! Like mama like daughter!! You gals rock!! I hope you have a very blessed and Merry Christmas!! You both certainly deserve the best!
