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.

 We have a nice collection of organic cotton toys from
Under the Nile and others!
and Fair Trade gifts for all ages, even teens:

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.
