Happiness is a Young Entrepreneur That Gives Back

Children are naturally curious, creative, and enthusiastic. They see each day as an opportunity to discover new things about the world and put their unique spin on every object and idea they encounter. They are masters of thinking outside the box: In fact, young children are known for being able to turn an average cardboard box into a versatile multi-function toy!

This energy and innovation is not only necessary for developing a growing mind; it’s also the perfect formula for generating brilliant business ideas. With the guidance and encouragement of the adults in their lives, kids can learn the value of good ideas and be rewarded for displaying the first skills necessary for successful entrepreneurship. At the same time, they can also learn the principles of character and ethics that will pave the way for more compassionate business dealings in their future.

While not every child will come up with a million-dollar idea, it can’t hurt to foster their inventions and give them the love and support they need to flourish in whatever field they choose.

Happy Blankie Basics

David Holdridge is the kind of child who thinks about the needs of others. In 2008, when he was just 7 years old, he thought up a way to bring his little sister more joy. He knew she loved her soft, fuzzy blanket, and her favorite stuffed lovey. He thought that if he could combine the two, it would surely bring a smile to her face. With the help of his mom Emily, David was able to make his vision a reality, and Happy Blankie was born.

Happy Blankies are blankets that kids (and grown-ups, too!) want to cuddle with at first sight. These cozy covers come in a variety of styles, each featuring an adorable, wide-smiling creature. The collection includes a friendly frog, a happy bear, a joyful elephant and more. While these blankets put the cute-o-meter into overload, they’re also high on quality. They sport a soft, mink-like fabric that’s made even more luxurious by the blanket’s satin trim and backing. They’re perfect for long car trips, naptime, book time, or anytime.

Parents appreciate Happy Blankies because they allow kids to have their favorite blanket and their favorite toy in one. This cuts down on things to haul on trips, and gives kids one less item to lose. The Happy Blankie also helps entice a child to go to bed on time, offering a snuggly bit of security and friendship.

Bringing Smiles To Kids Who Need it Most

Some baby-and-kid accessory items become trends without much explanation or merit, but Happy Blankie didn’t get where they are by luck or looks alone; this innovative company offers customers the opportunity to give back!

It’s a chilly fall night in the city of Canton, Ohio. A little girl sits in her room in her new foster home. She’s been through a lot and is still adjusting; hoping her new living arrangement might be a permanent one. Though her foster parents don’t have much in the way of fancy material things, this little girl has one prized possession that beings her warmth and comfort whenever she reaches for it … her soft, smiling Happy Blankie.

Parents can help a foster child’s life a bit more comforting through Happy Blankie’s “One To Love, One To Give” option. When a customer buys a Happy Blankie, the company donates another Happy Blankie to a child in need. It’s a simple concept, but it’s one that touches many lives and teaches the importance of reaching out to others. Best of all, customers get to choose where they want the second blanket to be sent, so they know it’s being donated to a cause that’s close to their hearts. From Cornerstone Mission in Thailand to Ronald McDonald House in New York, children all over the world have been given the gift of Happy Blankies, with the help of outreach organizations that share the company’s vision of caring.

Families today want to make purchases that they can feel good about. Products like Happy Blankies are wonderful gifts for parents who are teaching their kids to think beyond their own needs and entertainment. David Holdridge, Happy Blankies’ Chief Happiness Officer, learned that important lesson from his mom, Emily. With his creative mind and compassionate heart, David is bound to be a business owner to watch for years to come!
