As many of you know, the Fluffy Wishes Giveaway event was a huge success! This success was greatly due to the awesome sponsors that we had! The sponsor of the Grand prize, which was worth over $200 was Ribbon & Stitches Cloth Diaper Store. I would love to tell you a little more about the awesome mission of this store!
Ribbons & Stitches is a unique Cloth Diaper Store that not only services YOUR cloth diapering needs, but it also serves as a resource for those who can not afford cloth diapers! Let me explain...
Ribbons & Stitches acts like a not-for-profit organization by taking the proceeds it makes in the sales of diapers and accessories to help those in need! Ribbons & Stitches hopes to spread the word that cloth diapering is affordable and that even families without access to a washer and dryer can benefit too.
Ribbons & Stitches currently helps to support 2 Cloth Diaper Charities. I bet you can guess the first one...Fluffy Wishes. The second is Sweet Cheeks. One of the ways that Ribbon & Stitches helps out these charities is through the GREEN RIBBON REWARD program. Here is how the Green Ribbon Program works:
- Make a purchase and earn green ribbon reward points. $1 = 1 point
- Refer a friend to the website, and on their first purchase, have them put your name or blog in the referral section and you will earn half a point for every $1 purchased
- Earn 5 points for every quality review written on any products in the store.
So what happens with all the points???
- These points can be redeemed towards Gift Certificates AND
- These points are used to donated to Fluffy Wishes or Sweet Cheeks (by putting the charity name in the referral section)
- The charities then use the points for items they may need or to replenish their closets
- When you make a purchase, both YOU and YOUR CHARITY will received points towards FREE goodies!!! It is a WIN-WIN situation!
In addition the Green Ribbon Reward Program there are tons of other perks to shopping at Ribbon & Stitches:
- Free Shipping over $49
- Gift Registry (Let you friends and family buy your diapers for you)
- Layaway Program (Can't afford it all at once?)
- Consignment Section (Previously Loved Products)
- Goodies for both Mama and Baby
- Ribbon's Surprise Box
Have you ever heard of Fluffy Wishes or Ribbon n' Stitches before?
Have you ever donated diapers to a Diaper Closet before?
I love that you can use the points you earn for purchases towards charities!! Definitely a great idea and I can't wait to check out their store
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great program. There should be more organizations like that. I think there are a lot of people that could use help diapering their kids.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great opportunity to help families that need it. Cool idea!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of fluffy wishes or ribbon n stiches but it sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love Ribbon & Stitches Mission. I think giving people in need cloth diapers, is way more valuable than giving them disposables. I wish someone would have given me cloth way back when I had my first baby at one of the charities that we got diapers from a few times while I was young and struggling with a baby. I sort of feel like the old proverb 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.'. Only with diapers. <3
ReplyDeleteRibbon and Stitches does sound amazing! I couldn't have said it better than Justice! Well said!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to help ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that they have a rewards program!
ReplyDeleteI love your heart, what an amazing way to give to families! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing idea...giving cloth diapers to families that are in need. I am so encouraged by your generosity! Keep being great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful program! I am so glad to give my business to Ribbons & Stitches!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a wonderful project...best wishes.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! Most people don't even realize cloth diapering is an option but it's such a great one for low-income families!
ReplyDeleteLove the rewards program!
ReplyDeleteI always love companies that support charities!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Ribbons n Stitches before, but it sounds like a great company. Also, I have never donated to Diaper Closet before, but I have passed diapers on to friends in need!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of ribbons & stitches before, but I've never purchased from them... I have purchased from other diaper companies that donate to diaper closets when purchases are made, and one who donates all of her profits to World Vision. Love these companies who are making a difference for those who want to cloth diaper but can't afford it... also love the rewards and referral program - how cool!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to see that the money from purchases are going to many different hands!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat way to help out a charity and get diapers on the bums of the babies of needy families. I am planning to donate a good portion of my stash when my kiddos are out of diapers.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is great that you are here to help others be able to cloth diaper when they can't afford it. that is a great cause. This just might help make you one of my go to stores for cloth diapering needs. Thanks
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of them before, but it's such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Fluffy Wishes or Ribbon & stitches before. I am new to cloth diapering and have been doing mostly research on what my options are. With that said, I have not donated to a diaper closet before, I never knew about them until now! I think the Ribbon & Stitches layaway and consignment options are wonderful! We have two under two and are switching to cloth for financial reasons. Cloth diapering will save us more money in the long haul, but is an expensive initial cost, so these options are very appealing and helpful to us and other families in similar situations. It is heartwarming to know that there are companies who are willing to help those in need!

ReplyDeleteI love that they give back like that. I'd never heard of this company before, but it's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love that they help out not one, but two different charities with their sales. I've heard very little about this shop before, but I think I will start buying from them in the future. I love that I can diaper my child and help diaper someone else's at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI love their rewards program! What a unique spin on a common marketing idea!
ReplyDeleteI love that you help families in need of cloth diapers!

ReplyDeleteI am the recipient of diapers from Fluffy Wishes. Linda is always very helpful and when I am ready to purchase diapers I will definitely choose R & S if they carry the product I am purchasing.

ReplyDeleteI love that anything I buy helps out other families.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about the cloth diapering companies that are paying the goodness forward. I love that families in the US are being helped through these programs. It is great news to know that less disposables are being passed along to the families in need.
ReplyDeleteThat's great!
ReplyDeleteYou know what, that is beautiful. I love it when a company helps out other people in need and makes it a priority to be charitable. Especially when it ALSO helps out the planet via cloth diapers. There is no losing in a situation like that...Kudos to them. :)
ReplyDeleteI actually have a growing stack of fluff to send their way.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome that both you and the charity benefit! Awesome company!

ReplyDeletewhat a nice business! so many do erroneously think cloth diapering is expensive, love that they get out there to show people it's not and help them get started.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see a company that is helping to provide cloth diapers to people who otherwise couldn't afford them.
ReplyDeleteim loving all these great cloth giveaways, thanx!
ReplyDeleteI heard of Fluffy Wishes before...and thank you Ribbon N' Stitches for all that you do! I also thank it's awesome that you are spreading the love with cloth. Saving some families a lot of money!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful that Ribbon N' Stitches is a non-profit, it takes a lot of selfless work to do what they do!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've never heard of this organization before and love that you can confidently give knowing that everything will benefit others. Fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of them or fluffy wishes but I always pass on diapers we're not using to local friends that can use them.
ReplyDeleteNice to see small business giving back so much to those around them! Well done!
ReplyDeletei love this idea, its great to know that there is a way to get aid for those who can't afford to get diapers
ReplyDeleteLove the points!
ReplyDeleteLove the points!
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of helping a friend see the financial benefits of cloth before her newest addition comes in November. I think reaching out to the community who can't afford diapers is a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteI like that you can use the points for the charity to pick whatt they need.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful program! Definitely going to look into them.
ReplyDeleteprops to them for doing charity work and helping families out, that is a wonderful thing!
ReplyDeleteI love how Ribbon N Stitches gives back to families in a great, practical way.
ReplyDeleteWonderful program! I have good friends that cloth diapered because it was more financially feasible for them and now I plan on doing the same with my baby. I love that this program helps families with something so practical and necessary!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing program! I love how Ribbons and Stitches provides a useful service to me & gives back to the community at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I've heard of Ribbon n' Stitches before but I didn't know they did this. I love organizations like this because it helps those who may want to cloth diapering but shy away from it simply because of the cost.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely an amazing program. Kudos to all the hard workers that dedicate so much into helping others out. Definitely think the lay-a-way is a great additive to this.
ReplyDeleteGood to see more people help those who need it. Never heard of these orgs. :3
ReplyDeleteI love that they have a rewards program that also gives back.
ReplyDeletei think its so amazing how much they give back! i love buying from companies that care!

ReplyDeletesuch a great company, & i love the reward system!! wonderful!

ReplyDeleteThat's a neat way for a cloth diaper company to support charity
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great way for a cloth diaper company to support charity.
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing thing to do! so awesome! keep it up
ReplyDeleteI love the rewards program. It's nice when a retailer rewards its customers for loyalty
ReplyDeleteThis is such an amazing way to reach out to the community.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting the time into an amazing giveaway
ReplyDeleteI love that you can donate points - we are very low income so we never have money to donate, nor can we amass enough points to be able to get anything for ourselves. So if i could donate my random points that would be really satisfying for me....
ReplyDeleteI love that this is a meaningful points program. I also appreciate free shipping over $49. That's a very reasonable amount.
