I'm really pleased to announce that for the month of April, The Toy Cove will be running a "buy one, give one" special on every single toy purchased.
It's a simple, wonderful concept that's far from new, but it's a first for the Cove. For all of April, when you purchase a toy through The Toy Cove, I'll send another toy to a child (or adult) in need. No matter where you buy (Etsy, Ebay, Goodsmiths, thetoycove.com, etc), you'll be getting one plushie for yourself and giving one to someone else who needs a friend.
Same price, double the love.
About a year and a half ago, when The Toy Cove was first starting up, I had the opportunity to give a Christmas gift to an anonymous local senior who had no family to care for her at Christmastime. She had requested, simply, "a stuffed animal." Plushies provide a sense of security and love in even the most stressful and frightening situations. Many charities already exist helping young children and senior citizens who can benefit from having a plush companion. Children who have been removed from their home, who live in war zones, or who have lost everything due to disaster are just some. To a senior living in a nursing home, a soft toy can be a much-needed companion.

Some of my favorites charities (and the ones I'll be using) include:
SAFE: Stuffed Animals For Emergencies
Loving Hugs
Stories for Seniors
So spread the news! Treat yourself to a sweet plush pal, and help someone who's scared feel a little bit safer, and give someone lonely a faithful friend.
