Her company, Goods that Matter, donates 10% of all proceeds to causes that impact the health, happiness, and sustainability of local, regional and global communities.

There is so much to admire about Tippy and Goods that Matter. More than ever before, consumers seem to be looking for ways to give back, and small businesses like this one are answering that call. Tippy moved to Louisiana *after* the Gulf oil spill in order to do the most good for that community -- talk about walking the talk! And I just LOVE the simple brilliance of hiding a ceramic bird inside a bigger soap bird -- what a metaphor for cleansing, purifiying and starting anew. This small business rocks.
