Green Daisy and founding President Kim Lavine, nominated for Ernst & Youngs prestigious Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2005," started selling Wuvits just three years ago, making them almost by accident as gift for her kids teachers at Christmas. Before I knew it," states Lavine, complete strangers were showing up at my door or calling me on my phone to get one for themselves, they loved them so much!"
With 2 million dollars in retail sales in just under three years and achievements such as NBC News Hot Pick" and LDB Interior Textiles Best New Product in Show," Wuvits are proving to be nothing short of a phenomenon. They are currently available at over 200 Saks Incorporated Stores across the country, including Parisian, Proffitts, McRaes, Younkers, Carson Pirie Scott, Herbergers, Bergners, & Boston Store, and are available at limited Macys stores. In addition Wuvits can be found in every retail environment there is in over 1,000 specialty retailers across the U.S., including golf and tennis pro shops, hospital gift stores, spas, salons, home décor--Nobody doesnt wuv a Wuvit.
The Wuvit version for kids called, Sleepy-head Fred, has been selected as a Hot 5 Pick" by The Atlanta Journal Constitution, and was recently included in celebrity gift baskets for the 2005 Critics Choice Award in Hollywood, along with Apple iPods and Ugg boots.
I made these in response to a couple of desperate middle-of the-night calls from parents whose kids wouldn't go to sleep without their Wuvit, which they had lost! You can imagine me driving at 1 in the morning to hand deliver Wuvits to people I didn't even know!" Lavine laughs, adding that she is not making this up. I started thinking, 'Hmmm, something that puts kids to sleep. Could that possibly be worth something to someone? YES!"
Green Daisy also just recently completed a licensing agreement with The Collegiate Licensing Company www.clc.com to apply collegiate logos to their popular product. This deal alone, was recently valued by a top collegiate rep group to be worth $10 Million.
Why are Wuvits so popular? Because they merge home decorator accent with spa therapy, featuring a superior, patent-pending heat source, designer fabrics, a removable washable pillowcase, appealing to men, women, athletes, seniors, teens kids - everyone - at a great retail price point.
