One to Love, One to Share

Nine-year old David Holdridge, founder of Happy Blankie and now Chief Happiness Officer, had a remarkable idea. He wanted to combine his little sister's two favorite things, stuffed animals and blankies, to create something that would make the world smile. His mother Emily encouraged him to bring his idea to life – and then added a life lesson that we can ALL teach our children - share. Her idea was to share the happiness of Happy Blankie with children in need of a smile. Thus, One to Love, One to Share, became the core philosophy of Happy Blankie. The concept is based on Emily’s message to David (and her other 3 children) – love one another, share with others and make a difference in the world.


Happy Blankie, a soft, oversized cuddly animal that is the perfect combination of stuffed animal and blanket. Every time someone buys a Happy Blankie, an identical blanket is given to a child in a hospital, orphanage or distressed situation around the world. Their mission is "one to love" and "one to give". What's great about this is that Happy Blankie has listed our orphanage as one of the places to give!


The best part is that you can choose where you want your second blankie donated. When you receive your blankie you will be able to follow the instructions on the "giving is cool" tag in order to donate your second blanket. Happy Blankie will allow for you to choose Uganda, Africa as the place to give your second blankie. So if you are needing a gift or want one for yourself, then this is a great oppurtunity to make sure our kids get one too.


Here are pictures they took while delivering Happy Blankies to some of our orphans.
