Kate’s Caring Gifts – From Silicon Valley IC to People- & Earth-Friendly Gifts http://www.katescaringgifts.com 45953 Warm Springs Blvd. Ste 2 •
Fremont, CA 94539 By Michael Leppert Kate Amon spent more than 10 years developing integrated circuits in the Silicon Valley of California. She took time off to be with her two young children and consequently had time to think about how and why she chose the products she bought. As a result, Kate realized that how she spends her money is as powerful as how she votes – maybe more so! She became aware that each of us is ultimately responsible for the consequences our buying has on the earth and to the all of the peoples who live upon it. Her next step of awareness was to start her own gift company – Kate’s Caring Gifts! She began by offering a few body care products and adhering to the philosophy that anything she sold had to earn her total confidence as healthy for people and planet. Kate wanted to be a part of the “green economy” – people who can keep their conscience and be successfully in business, too. She felt the possible trade-off of lower profits in exchange for a feeling of pride and self-respect would be well worth it. By carrying products manufactured by “green” companies she wants others to know about, her family business is achieving her goals of successful satisfaction. At Kate’s Caring you will find an attractive assortment of personal care products, toys and edibles for the entire family. They include gentle body care, such as soaps, shampoos, lotions, creams, massage oils, deodorants, lip balms, exfoliatives, even romantic “intimate” scented oils! In Kate’s “baby” section are great gifts for baby showers, lotions, creams and accessories for baby comfort and pregnancy/nursing-mom products, such as pregnancy and nursing natural teas, nipple cream and other imaginative products to enhance the joy of new motherhood. The “edibles” department at Kate’s offers a wide variety of organic chocolate assortments, a chocolate and “matching” tea basket, exotic chocolate bars, fair trade coffees and other delights for the conscientious palate! Kate’s Caring also offers greeting cards; earth-themed keychains, earrings and other accessories; wooden toys; home décor products and more! And Kate’s Caring donates a combined 2% of annual sales to the following 3 nonprofits – Doctors Without Borders, Habitat for Humanity and WWF.
