The national holiday of love is approaching, and while you are planning a romantic getaway or a night away from the kids don’t forget the special ladies in your life that make your world more exciting.

The 100 Good Deeds Bracelet is an amazing way to spread kindness and encourage others to embrace the idea of paying it forward. Mary Fisher spent years in Africa working with women suffering from AIDS, and she came up with the idea for the 100 Good Deeds Bracelet that would help the women of Africa while promoting kindness in the world. These bracelets are handmade by women in Africa, and every purchase helps them gain financial independence to create a better life for them and their family. The bracelet has 100 beads with a counter that the wearer moves over each bead as they perform good deeds. The goal is to do 100 good deeds to spread love and kindness in the world. This simple idea has the power to truly create change in the world.

She is your partner in crime, the first person you go to with any kind of news, and your very best friend in the whole world. She deserves something special and unique. Who wouldn’t love this amazingly inventive wine bag? The designer, Tracey Luebbers, came up with this clever idea after finding it difficult to transport beverages during outings. She created a variety of prototypes to eventually come up with this, and she chose a factory in Missouri owned and run by women to produce this great product. The bag comes with its own dispensing bag so you can serve up whatever spirits you would like at the beach, on a picnic or wherever you want to relax.
