One Love: One Wish World
If you had one wish, what would it be? Eternal sunshine? Neverending cash flow? A trip to the French Riviera? Extra-high metabolism? The job of your dreams? The ability to afford your rock-and-roll lifestyle?
Local girl Mindy Relyea is the kind who keeps others in mind. Her answer, which would undeniably put the rest of us to shame, would be something like “health and happiness” or “world peace”—and she’s the type with enough determination and heart to get the wheels in motion in making those aspirations become reality.
An art major and lover of textiles, Mindy opened an online gift boutique called One Wish World that carries products like sassy dishtowels, thoughtful journals and homemade skirts—all nearly one-of-a-kind and handcrafted by Utah artists, perfect tokens of appreciation for almost any occasion whether it’s your niece’s graduation or your best friend’s birthday.
Several items on One Wish World feature an image of a cherub. Proceeds from these products (like this colorful tote and this classic t-shirt) will be used as charitable donations—helping children with autism and conquering malnutrition in Africa. The One Wish World artists hope to “do good while sharing our gifts and talents,” says Mindy. Learn more about the causes they’re interested in here.
{Make a Wish:} Mindy and One Wish World have kindly offered a dreamy gift package for one lucky Your Heart Out reader. Leave just one comment on this post by 10 p.m. on Monday, July 16 for your chance to win all of these goodies:
- A cute and stylish gathered One Wish World logo T-shirt
- A funky and good-spirited woodblock lady painting by Ann Gardner
- A Blue Lily candle (we’re intrigued by the “Summertime” scent)
- An adorable set of matching mother/daughter (or son) aprons by Jill Hansen (see pictured)
Some of these items are so new, they haven’t even made it on the site yet! Thanks for the sneak-preview, Mindy. And for giving us an opportunity to give back through your shop.
