Empowering Girl’s (and women) Shirt/Bag Giveaway

October 2nd, 2009 • Related • Filed Under
feature photo

I recently discovered a line of clothing and other products that aims to inspire, empower and build girls’ self esteem. It’s called Gis4Girl and the stuff has some serious girl power.

Gis4Girl was launched in December 2008  by print designer Erin Boudreau. Erin designed her products with one purpose in mind — to create fun and meaningful clothes for amazing girls.  The designs are clean, unique and clever, and through them, Gis4Girl strives to encourage all girls (and women) from all walks of life to achieve their fullest potential.

Erin sent me a couple of her products to try (a zip-up hoodie with the message “You Grow Girl” on the back) and a Sm:)e t-shirt. Both products are well-made, fun and adorable. My teen grabbed the t-shirt and has worn it several times already. I got to keep the hoodie (for now).

To help you get acquainted with some of her products, Erin is offering a is G is 4 Girl’s “Positive-ly Cool School Pak” to one lucky reader of Lipstick to Crayons.  It includes three items: the black Sm;)e t-shirt, the “Girls are A-Mazing” messenger bag, and the “Positive Words” lined journal – total value of $60.
