Giving Back
Even though we're a small business, it's very important to us that we help out groups and charities doing compassionate and awesome things. Over the years we've supported numerous causes we care about by raising money, donating products and promotion of the organizations.

We occasionally release such designs as part of our Compassionate Series - which means we donate 50% of the profits from sales of these items to their respective organization at the end of the year. Here are the designs currently available:
