“Giving is Receiving” is not just a notion for idealists. It’s the basic philosophy of Chicago-based family gift business Sparks of Joy. Owner/artist Rita Whaley, a family therapist, designed her Care-Hug pillows and gifts not just to support causes, but to find ways for others to do so. Her website, www.sparksofjoy.com, is designed to connect retail buyers, sponsors, charities and non-profits.
Sparks of Joy donates $1 of each pillow sale back to selected causes. For more information, visit www.sparksofjoy.com or call 773-944-0146.
