Come to Mother & Child
to find unique gifts with meaning.
Our goal is to be able to offer the best selection of
unique and environmentally-responsible gifts for
this holiday season.
Stop in and ask us questions
about our products.
We are proud to talk about them, and we will give you a free
"Gifts with Meaning" Greeting card
when you purchase a
fair-trade or locally-made gift, this season.
This down economy has us all trying to save money, but we suggest that our local economy will benefit if more people in our community make it a goal to do some of their shopping at locally-owned establishments* and to pay full price for at least a few gifts.**
*According to the 3/50 Project, for every $100 spent at locally-owned establishments, $68 returns to the local community through taxes, payroll and other local purchases. $100 spent at national chain stores yields $48 for the local community and $100 spent on the Internet gives nothing to the local economy.
** The average wage for retail workers [in a community] is 10% lower than it would have
been without Wal-Mart's presence. [Arindrajit Dube, T. William Lester,
and Barry Eidlin, "A Downward Push: The Impact of Wal-Mart Stores on Retail Wages and Benefits," 2007]
Consider, too the workers involved in the manufacture and distribution of each product that you purchase, and can they possibly be getting a living wage if you always insist on paying a discounted price? If local shops continue to have to compete with big box discounting, employees of local shops will face pay cuts and job loss.
