It's slowly getting serious.
Hello there!
In this blog post I'm going to talk about various little things.
Yeah, my small business is growing slowly, I get more and more orders, not much but it keeps me busy and motivated, which is a really nice feeling. Also the amount of money I collect for the animal welfare organisation I'm supporting is getting more, which is an even better feeling. If you don't know, 15% of every item I sell will go to "Tierhilfe West e.V.", a german animal welfare organisation, helping the animals in hungary. This is the organisation I got my little Isaac from. (:
Also I wanted to ask you guys something - I want my customers to be happy with their order, so every purchase is getting a little extra gift, by now it has always been a random little piece of jewelry or a gem. But now I'm not sure about it anymore. So I wanted to ask you, what would be a nice gift to recieve with your order? What would you love to get with your item when you are ordering something? I'm very interested in hearing this, to get a little inspired.
Last but not least: I got myself a stamp of my logo and I love it!
So, that's it, I wish you all a wonderful day!

Apparently we can start a group "Stamp lovers" :D
Great idea to contribute to animal welfare! Best of luck!

So, I am not the only stamp loving freak! :D Sometimes I use those for makeup :D
And as far as a gift goes: To receive a note saying that I did a good deed by buying from a great person is more than enough!

So @Demons has a soft side :D Don't worry about seeming pretentious, you won't... Only way to look weird when helping is if you are guilting others for not doing the same, than it all looses point. But notifying customers of a good deed they participated in is awesome! I would love to receive a note like that with everything I buy!

You are all so sweet, thank you so much! :)
I like the idea of letting my customers know that they are helping some poor puppies like my Isaac was himself, but on the other hand I'm not so sure, I don't want to look like saying "Hey, look, I'm a nice person, now give me your money" or something like that. But maybe that are just some stupid thoughts I have. :D

Aaaaw! That is so admirable on your part! Donating part of your profit to an animal shelter is such a great idea and you should definitively make sure you let your customers know that. I know some people who would buy stuff explicitly for that reason if for nothing else.
Besides, receiving a note with a little puppy paw print saying some thing like "thank you for helping my brothers and sisters find a good home" would get me right in the feels :D
I think I would cry for two days straight :P

I am happy to hear that your business is going well! I think it is all the good intention and the good you do to help out animals that turns around and gives you some good fortune. Like karma :D
It is admirable what you do! You can't save all the animals but every little bit helps! Even when giving money or time is not an option, giving a voice to their suffering is just as important :)
I used to be in love with stamps as a kid, had a bunch of toy stamps and ink pads and covered everything around the house (and myself) with stampouts :D Now, I run an accounting company, so be careful what you wish for :D

Oh, you too? Ich have way to much stamps, which I almost never use, but hey, I have them! :D
This is an awesome idea, I always send a short handwritten note along with the item and the gift, I will definetly give this a try!
And thank you, I always felt like I need to help this poor creatures, even if its just with money. Maybe it's because I had many street dogs down in bosnia which I took care of when we were there on vacation. Sadly they are all dead by now, mostly shot by hunters. I haven't had any friends when I was young, but they always gave me so much and I will never forget it. This is my own small way to give something back, maybe with that I can help a poor soul to get a loving family, like I got my best friend. :)

You donate 15%of your earnings to animals in need! Wow! That is fantastic! Just knowing that with every purchase an animal is fed and taken care for should be enough of a gift!
Agreed with Jazzy, a thank you note with Isaac's paw print that says : You bought this awesome jewelry for yourself but you fed a cute animal in the process :D

As a person obsessed with stamps ( I have a serious problem :D ) I have to say that I love yours! So pretty!
As for the gift along with the purchase: My advice would be to make something small that would promote your business even more. Like a thank you card that notifies every customer that their purchase helped out animals in need alongside Isaac's paw print :D And those cards can be collectible, on the back of the photo that you would change every month or something :D
And the fact that you give so much to animals is so admirable! I'm proud to know you!
