Description:
I launched The Giddy Gander Company in response to my husband passing away and the tragedy of 911. Having understood full well what it was like to lose a loved one and be left with children to raise connected me with many others and motivated me to help make the world a better place for all children and families. I expanded upon a concept I created as a child called, The Wumblers. After slow and strategic building of the now award winning brand, we are at the tipping point. We've been offered a unique opportunity by a mass retailer that will prove to be quite lucrative and currently has very little competition. Nothing like this has ever been done in partnership with a mass retailer before. We are also closing an incredible deal with one of the largest specialty retailers to date. And the television series coinciding with this brand has begun selling in Europe and Latin America. It appears on Spanish speaking tv in the US currently. We have also been asked to create a new chidlren's television block with national distribution. We believe we will be doing this as well.
