Save Handmade and Twinkling Tees

A campaign, a review with unbiased view + a giveaway!

During the Christmas holiday, I was lucky to win a gift certificate from Twinkling Tees which I used to purchase this lovely Pink Shirt customized for my daughter with rainbow colored Swarovski crystals. Though there was a little glitch using the GC during checkout, Jill, owner of the shop, personally took care of me and gave me the best customer service one can ever ask for! A small business thriving to deliver good service and quality products!

My daughter love this shirt so much, she wore it three days straight! I kid you not! If she was a man, I can't agree more if you say after 3 days in that shirt, it reeked of man-stink! BUT she love the shirt so much that she'd rather wear it over and over again than change into a different shirt that's piled in her closet. I relented only because her happiness of wearing it, was PRICELESS! More so, what makes this shirt special is that the design was painstakingly set by hands by Jill herself! A mom just like me! Definitely handmade with love!

If you plan ordering Kids T-Shirts from her, today is the best time to do it before you miss your chance! Also, order size larger than your kids regular size because the kids' shirts runs small. This may be your last chance of getting a T-shirt that your kid would love wearing three days straight!

With the Threat of CPSIA's new Policy in effect on Feb 10th, it kills me to think that a lot of small business owners will be forced to close due to their inability to afford the expensive testing fees which can run from $75 to a hefty $1000! - All depending on the number of material and items used to create it. The more materials used the higher the fee is.

In this event, I would hate to see wonderful creations like Twinkling Tees Toddler T-shirts go away! The Company creates customizable designs and has a wide array of design selections that caters to each ones' whim and style!

So, what then will happen after the new policy is in place? Will little girls like my daughter miss the chance of wearing great creations like this shirt just because? I, too have a small biz that does Handmade. I know how hard this will impact those who will be affected. So, Please, let's all help handmade Children product manufacturer and small biz owners like Twinkling Tees by signing these petitions: Clothes, Apparel and accessories / Toys or support the cause by writing your respective Congress using the pre-filled form.
