Holiday Love: Brownstone Buddies

(L-R) Crystal Granderson-Reid & Janai Nelson

Two more shopping days left and still haven’t found the “perfect” gift for your mini-me? Consider your search officially over. Head out to the nearest FAO Schwarz or Toys R Us and ask for Brownstone Buddies.

Who are the Brownstone Buddies you ask? Created by Janai Nelson and Crystal Granderson-Reid, the Brownstone Buddies are truly the cutest and most culturally diverse dolls I’ve ever laid eyes on! And at an affordable $25, these cuties pies won’t break the bank.

The Brownstone Buddies are a group of eight neighborhood friends with interests from sports to math to music. They celebrate cultures from across the globe. We wanted to fill a global and a cultural niche that we felt was completely not in the market. We definitely have an educational and playful mission but we also have a very philanthropic mission in bringing cultures together at an earlier stage in life.
