2014 Rett Girl Holiday Gift Guide

The wait is over!! RettGirl.org's 6th Annual Holiday Gift Guide is here!

Each year, since 2009, we have scoured online to find products we hope that special Rett Girl in your life will love! We are Rett parents, too, and know how hard it can be to shop for our girls.  Please pass this guide on to friends and family who are searching for that perfect gift for our girls!!

This year we continue the gift giving philosophy from year's past: "Something to wear, something to read, something you want and something you need." 

Plus, we have "group gift" ideas that can come from mom and dad, aunts and uncles, Grandmas and Grandpas or anyone pitching in together! And of course we didn't forget those stocking stuffers!!!  

Many of these products can be found in Amazon Smile's new charitable site! We have linked them there to make it easy for you! If you designate Girl Power 2 Cure as your charity when you purchase through Amazon Smile, Girl Power 2 Cure will receive .05% of the proceeds.


Something to Wear:

EarTunes Hat:  Keep your Rett Girl warm but keep her happy with the built-in ear buds in this great hat! 


Kids Infinity Scarf: These scarves are GREAT! They're cute, stylish, keep your Rett Girl toasty warm AND keep the drool at bay!

Just Because: This is a beautiful book written from the point of view of a little brother who loves his big sister so much, just because.  "My big sister Clemmie is my best friend. She can’t walk, talk, move around much, cook macaroni, pilot a plane, juggle or do algebra. I don’t know why she doesn’t do these things. Just because."
