BOCA RATON, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Just in time for holiday gift giving season, Unicorn Children's Foundation has launched an online marketplace for talented artisans with developmental or learning disorders and those looking to support the mission of providing opportunities for individuals with special needs. While the Uniquely Gifted Boutique was expected to open as a brick and mortar storefront in 2020, the pandemic has required a shift in implementation.  Etsy provides a platform to remain on course and has allowed us to expand vendor sources nationwide with products created by similar organizations supporting individuals with special needs.

Despite a willingness and desire to go to work, nearly half of those without a job say that they would like one, yet the employment rate of people with disabilities is just 37.8%. The Uniquely Gifted Boutique emphasizes the value of re-thinking employment with a focus on providing creative solutions rather than exacerbating poor outcomes.  Several partners are collaborating to increase employment options and supply products to the Uniquely Gifted Boutique Etsy Store, including: Aspire Accessories, Doapy Soapy, DOGGY Delights BY Allison, Milli Hershman, and ScentsAbility Candles.  Consumers can shop for handmade candles, jewelry, accessories, dog treats, and soap, and know that their purchase will change the lives of young adults with special needs.
