This holiday season, our Development Committee launched the NBIA Disorders Association’s first-ever Holiday Gift Boutique. The site took off immediately, with proceeds from sales bringing in $3,500 so far.
The boutique featured a variety of decorative, wearable and edible goodies and will remain open through the end of the year for Bonfire Apparel sales only. Go to https://www.bonfire.com/store/nbia-disorders-holiday to find one-of-a- kind shirts in 12 different designs, including ones that say “Limited Edition” and “Ultra Rare Kind of Love.”
For four weeks, the boutique also sold chocolates from See’s Candies and fragrant wreaths from Three Rivers Farms. Unique NBIA-themed ornaments in the shape of a reindeer, star and a snowflake from the Baum Design Shop also were featured. Through generous donations, we are also able to send our beloved U.S. Angel families a sponsored NBIA Angel ornament.
Our most popular item was our hand-poured NBIA candle from Phil’s Candle Shop and Aroma 4480 which featured scents like Marshmallow Fireside and Christmas Hearth.
Visitors to our Holiday Gift Boutique also had the opportunity to become a Partner in Hope in honor of an NBIA family or the individual with NBIA. This initiative has brought in 25 new monthly donors so far – and there is still time to participate for a holiday gift that lasts all year.
Big thanks to our Development Committee, including Chair Amber Denton of Houston, Jenny Wildvank of Huntington Beach, California, Kathleen Ayers of Georgetown, Texas, Jennifer Sanchez of Spring, Texas, and Kallan Ritzman of Oakland, California, for their creative ideas and hard work.
