HANDMADE HEARTS

“I started Handmade Hearts because glass has longevity and I wanted to bring some love into the world,” said Hillel Rzepka, founder of the company. “Five thousand years after I’m gone, the hearts will still be the same.”

NATURE'S FLAVORS

Bill Sabo, the president and CEO of Nature’s Flavors, started the company when he was 17. He is now 52 and is still excited about his products, which have swelled to 8,000 on the website.

“We manufacture with ingredients from all over the world,” said Sabo. “We are natural and organic. We’ve been manufacturing since 1983. We make essential oils, vanilla extract and more.”

Kenny Novak, director of national accounts for the event’s title sponsor, Qmadix, was excited to talk about his innovative product.

“Ninety-nine percent of the portable speakers out on the market right now are only one speaker,” said Novak. “We have two speakers. We have true left and right speakers. You can actually separate the speakers up to 15 ft. apart. You can move it around. True stereo sound separation is what you get.”

ROSEMARIE HOUSTON of BON BON HOME

“People come to our store because they can find unique items,” said Rosemarie Houston of Bon Bon Home, a nine-year- old company based in San Diego. “They come to find fantastic pieces. When I design, I try to find unique items.”  

TWISTED SILVER

“We have new bracelets and earrings,” said Cassidy Clark of the unique jewelry company Twisted Silver. “We have an eclectic mix of metal pieces with a new attitude. We’re introducing copper for spring. We’re also introducing a lot of daintier earrings. We’re known for a clunkier chain and earrings, but we’re also doing daintier this season.”

JENNIFER GERARD of WHITENING LIGHTNING

“Whitening Lightning is American made product you can use at home,” said Jennifer Gerard, president and CEO. ‘It’s designed for people with sensitive teeth. We have all natural, no chemicals. That’s what sets us apart. All of our products are high grade. We’re into problem solving. It’s designed for the person on the go. You can whiten your teeth while doing your laundry or checking your email. It takes 20 minutes. You can use it once and put the rest in the fridge for up to six or eight months.”

A favorite highlight of the annual event is when guests donate new and unwrapped gifts for children ages 13-17 for a pre-holiday gift drive benefiting ‘Wednesday’s Child’, a weekly segment airing on KTTV FOX 11 News, Los Angeles, with Anchor Christine Devine. Wednesday’s Child highlights ‘harder to place’ children in the LA County foster care system who are in need of adoptive families.

Reportedly, there are more than 35,000 children receiving child welfare services in Los Angeles County.

“Wednesday’s Child is wonderful,” said Eubanks. “We need something like this to keep people sane. In Hollywood it can easily make everything about ‘things’ instead of people. Hollywood can get like a candy store. This kind of thing brings us back.”
