Happy Holiday Thursdays! Introducing Uptown Liz

Oct23
2008
Written by Diane N.

The air’s getting a bit chillier, which can only mean one thing: the Holidays are just around the corner.  In gleeful anticipation, every Thursday from now through year’s end, we’ll be dedicating a blog post to all-things holiday.

We’re kicking it off this week by introducing Uptown Liz, the hugely popular shopping blog where gifts give back.  Founder Ramona Russell got in touch with us when the site launched.  She first found us though when researching literacy nonprofits for a class project in public relations and marketing her senior year in college.  It’s been many years since but she never forgot First Book!

It’s never too soon to start searching for gift ideas that give back.  At Uptown Liz you’ll find products that support a variety of causes, including (of course) literacy.  (Check out some really cute finger puppets that benefit UNESCO LIFE.)

And keep checking back weekly on our blog and homepage now through the holidays for a number of featured gift ideas that will support First Book!
