The gift-giving season has officially begun! I actually enjoy the hunt of finding the perfect gifts for my girls. I like to give them quality gifts that I know they will use and enjoy while Santa brings the common toys. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for stuffed animals. As a child I would play with mine for HOURS and it gives me warm fuzzies inside just thinking about it. My girls also enjoy plushes but one family owned company decided to take the idea of a stuffed doll and take it several steps furhter! Cuddle+kind is a social business with giving back at its core! For every ethically produced, hand-knit doll sold, they give 10 meals to hungry children around the world. That means 1 doll = 10 meals!

Started by a family of five who were inspired to help after seeing a documentary about childhood hunger, cuddle+kind has been able to give over 4,709,162 meals in less than three years! Yup ? you read that right! That means cuddle+kind is about to hit a milestone ? 5,000,000 meals given to children in need ? AMAZING!
Their dolls are made with natural, high-quality cotton making them safe, soft and cuddly. These dolls are STUNNING in person and truly heirloom quality as they are meant to last a lifetime and more!
Every single doll is lovingly handcrafted by incredible women artisans in Peru, providing them with a sustainable, fair trade income.
