It’s almost holiday time, which means we’re looking for gifts for the special someones in our lives. And of course, we’re thinking of the kids first. Isn’t is always depressing to go into a store and try to find something that will make a little brown person feel good? Of course there are a few ethnic dolls for the girls, and . . . well, nothing for the boys. Its no secret that our girls don’t find much affirmation of their beauty and value in the products and toys they use day-to-day. And we haven’t met a little girl that doesn’t liberally sample her mother/sister/auntie’s products in an effort to be grown. Which is why we recommend you get her some of her own: j. blossom bath and beauty products are created especially for black children. Not only are the products natural, they’re also affixed with a label of a smiling afro-puffed girl and sayings such as “I love my beautiful brown skin, especially when its fresh and clean!” and “I am perfect the way I am because God doesn’t make any junk!” The mini fun packs, containing shower gel, body lotion, lip balm, a bath sponge and reusable bag, are sure to delight. Available in Strawberry Banana Smoothie and Great Big Grape, and at only $12 a pop, we think both you and the little one will be mighty pleased with your purchase. Visit j.blossom for more information.
