Butter Paddle - Los Gatos

Butter Paddle, voted the #1 Gift Shop in Los Gatos, is modest in it's societal impact. If, like me, you've walked past this shop many times while strolling on North Santa Cruz avenue - it will soon on the top of your favorite one stop shops for all your gift giving needs from the first time you step foot inside.

A few awesome things about Butter Paddle:

• 100% of profits go to the EMQ FamiliesFirst foundation helping children and families in crisis. You read that right - 100%!!
