Two Women Entrepreneuers Marry Hand & Heart for the Holidays
Hand Crafted Yoga and Meditation Holiday Gifts Online Benefit Kids Helping Kids Charity
Bogota, NJ (PRWEB) July 13, 2003 -- Rapunzel Gifts and Divine Light Jewels (www.rapunzelgifts.com), is a Web site offering handcrafted gift baskets, gift sets and jewelry for yoga, meditation, stress relief, healing and spiritual growth. But buying something on this website is a healing experience on another level, because when you make a purchase at Rapunzel Gifts, you are also helping to heal a child. A portion of all profits are going to Kids Helping Kids, a not for profit volunteer organization that provides equipment, services, special wishes to kids who've been affected by catastrophic illness or injury.
The spiritual themes of the gift set designs, such as the Breathe Relaxation Box," Tibetan Spirit Basket," and Om Gift Set" are inspiring. They include a variety of aromatherapy candles, herbal soaps, bath salts, incense and spiritual tools. Every item is carefully wrapped in mango bark papers with earthy accents and Chinese I-Ching coins that give the gift sets a natural, rustic feel. Many of the high quality products originate in Nepal, India, Thailand and China and some of the gift sets come in re-usable banana leaf jewel boxes custom made for Rapunzel Gifts in Thailand.
Divine Light Jewels are designed and handcrafted with semi-precious healing stones and sterling silver, each having a special meaning that resonates with the energy of the wearer. They include the Four Buddha," Silver Ganesh" Necklaces, and a Bali silver Om Bracelet."
Just as every piece is unique, the two women who create these distinctive gifts are each on a special journey. RapunzelGifts.com is the brainchild of television industry veteran Lynn Gregorski. A former manager at CNBC and CBS Marketwatch.com, Gregorski found a peaceful refuge in the practice of yoga. I combined my experience traveling to places like Nepal and Peru with my own yoga practice to design gifts that help people on a journey toward relaxation and inner peace," she says.
Similarly, Caren Patterson of Divine Light Jewels, who has been producing major corporate events and video for over 25 years, found a renewed creativity, peace and inspiration in the practice of yoga. This journey was a natural extension of the work Patterson has been doing since 1997 when Kids Helping Kids was created with her best friend whose son, Mischa, was being treated for a malignant brain tumor. To bring him back into the normal world of his peers, they worked with Mischa to create a kid-run volunteer organization to raise money for the tangible things sick kids might need, but also to show them they had not been forgotten.
When Gregorski says, We are committed to helping you find your peacefulness in physical body and spiritual mind," shes talking about beautiful gift baskets and jewelry, but shes also about the joy of helping others.
