Gifts4Smiles: Providing Hope in a Desperate Economy

Gifts4Smiles allow women to achieve their hopes and dreams of owning a business. It provides an affordable avenue as well as an incentive to help others who are struggling.

WASHINGTON, DC, May 08, 2011

There are more people struggling to earn a decent living today than there was 10 years ago. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Andrea Edwards was struggling to find a foothold in her desperate times. She moved from Houston, TX to Washington DC to marry a hard-working man and to build with him a life filled with fun, excitement, and adventure. Unfortunately, the move cost Andrea her job of 11 years, a home she lived in for 13 years, and stability.
After searching and applying for months to find employment, Andrea came across an ad on Craigslist for a Home-based business. This ad was different from so many others for several reasons. One, they did not ask for a large sum of money to get started. Two, she did not have to maintain any inventory or do any cold-calling. Three, this was not an MLM or marketing pyramid. This was an opportunity for women who wanted to own their own business and who did not have the funds, the experience, or the space for a lot of merchandise. LaBella Baskets was Andrea's answer.
La Bella Baskets was created with a dual mission: to support and empower women who want to work from home and to offer people a meaningful and affordable gift giving opportunity. La Bella Baskets believes the spirit of giving is very uplifting and powerful and they are proud, excited, and grateful for their program and its purpose. La Bella Baskets, an online retailer of gift baskets, is working to support struggling single mothers through their new program, Baskets of Hope. A portion of all La Bella sales goes into the program. La Bella consultants are asked to nominate single mothers in need. Then La Bella creates gift baskets for these mothers, and has them delivered to their doors.
Founding owner Janis Rodriguez, says, "We want single moms to know that we do care about them and we want them to feel beautiful, important and cared for. To show our appreciation, every month we deliver to single moms a La Bella Basket of Hope filled with beautiful spa and bath essentials. La Bella Baskets shares a deeply held belief that all single moms needs a calm and nurturing place in their lives to relax, melt away stress, rejuvenate, heal and promote a truly 'blissful balance' in body, mind and spirit."
With the help of LaBella Baskets, Andrea has created her own business, LabellaandAndrea's Gifts4Smiles. She is a proud owner who delights in putting smiles on hurting faces or showing appreciation to those deserving of it. LaBella has made it an easy, smart choice for Andrea and they can do the same for you.
