Kirby Girl, a Darien based teen gift boutique, is starting a campaign called, “Kirby Girl of the Week,” celebrating girls of the Darien community for their acts of kindness.
— an announcement from Kirby Girl. Darienite.com covers Darien businesses with significant new offerings, significant personnel changes or other big changes in their organizations. Businesses can email announcements to Dave@Darienite.com.
People in the local community can now nominate candidates each week. Kirby Girl will choose and announce the one weekly winner who will be featured in the shop and on Kirby Girl’s social media accounts.
The criteria for nomination are that the candidate must be between the ages 5 to 18, live in Darien, and have an accomplishment or trait which emphasizes her selflessness. Her action(s) can be as small as opening a door for someone, small acts of bravery to better our community, or as big as starting her own charitable organization.

Nominations will be held through direct messages (DMs) on Instagram and a physical ballot in the store. The nominator needs to provide a reason why they chose that particular girl. If nominating via DM, please include your email address so Kirby Girl can send you a digital ballot to fill out.
Kirby Girl is a gift boutique which sells accessories, decor, and fashion. Their mission is to promote confidence and positivity for girls of all ages. In the words of Dr. Seuss, “To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world.”
The random acts of kindness and selflessness that perhaps go unrecognized in one’s community often have the most impact. The initiative of Kirby Girl of the Week aims to highlight and empower girls practicing kindness and bravery.
