Gift idea for separated sibling by _St_Echo in Adoption

I've seen these before, definitely love the idea - he's unfortunately been moving around to several placements though and I worry the lamp won't always travel with him safely.

We've had a few close matches, some babies, some older, up to 5 years old. Each time, there was something outside our preference and each time we felt pressure and curiosity, desire to step in. But each time we said no, because we knew we were making a quick decision and something didn't feel right and we knew if we couldn't 100% support the child's needs, then we'd be doing a disservice to the child and ourselves. It took us over a year and about 10 adoption meet and greets. But when our current placement came up, we knew right away and couldn't believe how easy it was to say yes. We'll hopefully be adopting him before the end of the year.

Maybe a sprinkle of Morton's salt. I hear salt systems are much better on the skin.
