I never knew how many folks started an Etsy store to raise money for an adoption until this year’s Etsy giveaways. I’m amazed at how creative folks are, and my eyes have truly been opened as to the cost of adoption in general. “For This Child” is a store started by Bethany to bring home her child through international adoption. She decided to use her talent for painting as a tool to raise the money for her child.
Bethany can customize any watercolor painting for what you’re looking for. She can do any state, country, animal, lake and she can even do custom wedding gown paintings. This will truly be a unique gift from the heart and your purchase is going to a good cause. She sent me a water color of South Carolina. It was beautiful and I love that it came matted and ready to be displayed.
The animals would be a great addition to a nursery and the state/country/ lake paintings would be beautiful in a living room.
The Giveaway:
4 Southern Savers readers are going to win a $25 gift certificate.

This is one gift to ask grandma for, it’s a bit on the pricey side. However, it is very well thought out and I’d say very worth it. This starts as a trike that you strap little ones in and can push from behind. Then as they grow, you can remove pieces. I’ll tell you the last thing that ever came off for us though was the push stick… you’ll like not having to bend over and push when they get tired half way from home.
Price: $80+
Ages: 9 months to 5 years
What is your favorite gift for this age?
