Elaborado por miembros de la Lopez Garcia Family de Guatemala, estos quitapenas Las muñecas quitapenas son un regalo maravilloso para amigos o familiares que le demuestra al destinatario que te preocupas por su bienestar y le deseas lo mejor. Quitapenas significa "quitar preocupaciones" en español; la artesana Aura López explica la tradición maya de las muñecas quitapenas. "Mis abuelos decían que la forma de usarlas era sacar la muñeca de la bolsa o caja de madera y contarle tus problemas y miedos", afirma. "Luego, colocas la muñeca debajo de tu almohada y, al día siguiente, tu problema se hace más pequeño o se puede resolver". El conjunto consta de dos pares de muñecas quitapenas de hombre y mujer unidas por un corazón rojo. Hechas a mano, las muñecas están vestidas con atuendos tradicionales guatemaltecos de colores vivos y llegan en una bolsa de tela de algodón tejida a mano.

“Make 100 people happy with these precious handmade worry dolls”

I love giving gifts. Mostly to children I cross paths with in my travels. Like the child who is fussy or crying or having a tantrum in the airport, on a plane, in a supermarket. I always keep mini pullback cars or mini bubbles in my purse and coat pockets so they re easily accessible for me to grab on the spot. When I came across these worry dolls, 100 of them, I felt like I hit the jackpot. I have a few in every pocket and purse and everyone I give one to is instantly happy!!! I m talking children AND adults!! It puts a smile on even the crankiest child s (or adult s for that matter!) face. These are unique and special and beautifully and lovingly made. What a cool way to turn frowns upside down! Adults in particular love the folklore of telling the sweet little doll your worries and then putting her under your pillow and when you wake up the next morning you just may have answers. For me, that is a big bonus, because just that little doll, all by herself, is full of joy and love.
