Jerusalem Stone isn’t like any other stone material; it’s a particular type of stone that is only found in the hills of the religious Holy Land of Jerusalem.
Holy Land Stone Company LLC knows the spiritual significance of the stones that come from this revered land that is important to so many different faiths, and they want to share the power and beauty of Jerusalem Stone with the world.
Inspired by a business trip to Jerusalem that changed his life back in 1996, Jim Martin along with his wife, Penny, wanted to share the beautiful stones that comprised most of the city of Jerusalem with the rest of the world.
Today, Holy Land Stone Company imports their stones directly from quarries in Jerusalem and skillfully handcrafts every piece at their plant in Melbourne, Florida.
They shape the stone into beautiful sculptures and jewelry, and every product sold by Holy Land Stone Company comes with its own certificate of authenticity, proving that this stone is indeed imported from the Holy Land of Jerusalem.

The Good Gift Company’s main purpose isn’t to make money through their products; what they’re really seeking to do is bring comfort and solace to the world through their inspirational holding crosses.
This company took form through the vision of owners Liz Decker and June Autry. The purpose behind The Good Gift Company’s crosses comes from a deeply spiritual place and both of the owners look to spirituality as a guiding force behind their business.
Their mission is to bring recognition and business to craftspeople, especially those who live in difficult places around the world; point people to values beyond immediate gratification; make an impact for responsible stewardship of the world’s resources. In other words, The Good Gift Company cares deeply about their customers and those in need around the globe.
They have two versions of their holding crosses available, the Journey Cross and the much larger Arboravida Holding Cross. The Arobravida Holding Cross is custom designed by craftsmen in the holy city of Bethlehem, and are made from the prunings of olive trees that have been growing since the time of Christ. Each Arborarvida cross measures 3-inches by 4-inches and is handcrafted from aged olive wood.

There’s nothing more honest than a family business; especially one that manufacturers beautiful inspirational pieces like the ones that McHarp: Crosses With Meaning makes.

The idea behind McHarp is “producing a product that allows them to explore and honor their heritage, and express their love of beauty, balance, and harmony.” Although the company was sold in 2014, the new owners continuously work to honor the legacy that Ruth and Linda started more than 15 years ago.

If there was ever a way to make happiness literally fit into the palm of your hand, the folks at Seeds of Happiness have done it.
Seeds of Happiness create small sculptures of smiley faces out of clay. These little smiles are given away, treasured and kept in pockets, and held onto during health procedures. They’re a gift meant to embody happiness itself.
The seeds were created when a sculptor, Mark Borella, wanted to make something for a friend whose son was dying of cancer. Out of left-over lumps of clay he made what he called “seeds of happiness,” telling his friends “I thought I would bring you some smiles to help you get your smile back.” Now, a decade later, those little seeds are helping people get their smiles back all over the world. Erin, a cancer patient, said this of her smiles:
Now, a decade later, those little seeds are helping people get their smiles back all over the world. Erin, a cancer patient, said this of her smiles: “I am in the midst of some radiation treatments right now, and random friends keep giving me seeds. I love adding to my collection. I hold one in my hand during the procedure. There is a good outcome to all of this. Thanks for spreading the happiness. I need it.”
Available in bright colors, these little delights can also be bought to look like apples, angels, pumpkins, St. Baldrick (in green, of course, to honor St. Pat’s) and daisies. They even have a yarmulke seed for your Jewish friends that sports a black yarmulke.
Smiles come in other varieties, too. In addition to the original Seeds of Happiness, their product line also includes large smiles (about the size of your hands cupped together), pet bowls and collars, greeting cards, and a full apparel line.
The apparel line includes ball caps, a knit stocking cap, microfleece jackets and t-shirts. If you’re not sure what to get, they can create a gift basket for you. If you’re into groovy stuff, consider a tie-dyed t-shirt, a peace, love, and happiness headband, or, coolest of all, a kaleidoscope seed. They also now offer mugs that look like works of art that are created by David Spiguzza, Mark’s art teacher in high school and the person who shaped Mark’s love for sculpting. One of the mugs offered is handleless for easy gripping. Each mug is not only handmade but is also lead-free, food safe and can be used in the microwave and dishwasher.
The Seeds of Happiness are handmade, fired, and glazed in the USA.

Prayer has long been a way that people of faith have combated grief and anxiousness when a loved one is ill when they’re in a bad spot in their life, or when they just need some simple encouragement in their day-to-day lives.
But prayer is a two-way street. It’s not just about asking for prayer; it’s also about praying for others when they are in need.
That’s what PrayerBowls wants to help people do.
Karen Berry, founder and owner of PrayerBowls is a believer in the power of prayer. Karen got her idea for the PrayerBowl during a difficult time in her own life. A few years ago, Karen got extremely sick, leading to multiple surgeries and treatments for her illness. Many of her friends and family members prayed to God each day to heal her, but it was one woman in particular who had a lasting impact on Karen.
This woman, named Angie, had prayed for Karen every day to be healed, yet had never met Karen before her sickness. She prayed for Karen every day for a year and said she kept a prayer bowl full of the names of people she wanted to pray for each day. From this simple gesture, Karen got the idea to make PrayerBowls, so that others could participate in their own daily prayer reminders.
PrayerBowls were created as a reminder to pray for those in need, even during very busy days. They can be placed in a common area, where it’s guaranteed to be seen every day by the owner, and new names can be written down and placed in the bowls.
There are currently two styles of PrayerBowls available; the Angie and the Celeste.
Both are beautifully crafted porcelain bowls that feature uplifting messages and stunning design. The Angie Set has an elegantly trimmed gold edge, as well as hand-applied Swarovski Crystals perfectly placed onto the bowl. The Bible verse on the edge is Philippians 4:6, which reads “Do not be anxious about anything, but in prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.”
The Celeste Set features a meticulously designed golden cross and hand-applied Swarovski Crystals. It features the verse Romans 12:12, which says “Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfast in prayer.” It’s a beautiful reminder to have hope and remember to pray for those who need it the most.
Both sets come with a stack of PrayerCards, specially made for writing heartfelt prayers on them and placing them in the PrayerBowl.
PrayerBowls is also currently working on a brand new PrayerBowl design and it is being created in Poland. It’s scheduled to be available in June.
There will also be a new line of greeting cards available from PrayerBowls very soon, which will feature the words and theme “I prayed for you today.”
PrayerBowls are powerful prayer tools and beautiful reminders for people to pray for each other, whenever it is needed. Your customers will love seeing these testaments of faith in your store!
Finding the perfect token for a special occasion is an important task. You have to find something that is personal, meaningful, beautiful, and if possible, affordable. Enlightened Products’ Word Stones certainly fits the bill. Created individually by a sole store owner in Ojai, California, these stones embody all of those things.
These keepsakes are made by owner Joseph Gillick, who has been in retail since 1983 owning jewelry and gift stores during that time, and now operates only this business in his retirement. He uses a Hermes Pantograph Engraver with a diamond stylus. He even blesses each stone as it’s being made.
These decorative glass stones are engraved with anything your customer would like (up to 15 letters/spaces)and are available in translucent and opaque finishes in 17 colors like turquoise, yellow, emerald, teal, red, light blue, and orange. The engraving will never wear off. But words aren’t the only offerings; you can get stones with crosses, butterflies, treble clefts and smiling faces, as well. There are also stones with custom symbols and logos!
These favors are about the size of a nickel and weigh just over half an ounce. Given their nature and the process in which they are made, each stone is unique.
These stones were first created for people coming out of a 12 step recovery program and were called Serenity Stones. These keepsakes are now also recommended for weddings, cancer runs, memorial services, drug courts, and personalized gifts. They easily fit into a pocket or purse. Enlightened Products even sells pouches to put them in.
So, for a truly beautiful remembrance, a stone from Enlightened Products’ Word Stones is easily a great buy for any of your customers!
Churches are a place of comfort in times of trouble. A place where people might find the answers they are searching for in life, and build up each other with encouragement and positive thoughts.
One of the best tools that churches use to share their message of good hope is through literature. That’s why Warner Press, a company whose history is more than 100 years old, strives to provide churches across the country with great printed literature, to help spread their message.
Warner Press has its roots planted firmly in the church. In 1881, Daniel Sydney Warner first published The Gospel Trumpet, a religious periodical. This literature was used as the voice for the Church of God Reformation Movement, and later helped to found The Gospel Trumpet Publishing Company in 1906, in Anderson, Indiana. The company was renamed to Warner Press in 1963, and makes its headquarters in Anderson to this day.
The company’s goal is to “equip the Church with creative products and solutions, combined with exceptional service, to glorify God, advance his Kingdom, and give hope to future generations.” Through the distribution of a wide variety of Christian literature, they are committed to their vision and the quality of their products.
Most churches publish a weekly bulletin, that contain things like church events, prayer requests, messages, sermon notes, and more. With Warner Press products, churches can find hundreds of beautiful templates for their church bulletins, divided into a variety of themes for every occasion.
There are also hundreds of great greeting cards, pew card, offering envelope, welcome folders, and more available to choose from! Each template contains an encouraging Bible verse, spiritual picture, or uplifting quote to make church visitors feel welcome and loved.
For Sunday School teachers, Warner Press has a fantastic variety of supplies to make teaching young ones easier and more fun. There are coloring books, bookmarks, crayons and art supplies and so much more!
Warner Press has a clear mission statement in mind, and seeks to pursue their goals in order to spread their spiritual message. If your customers seek church-related items to use in their church services, then supply them with the literature found at Warner Press!
