In 2012, the Klinker family wanted to engage their young kids by designing faith products that look and feel like the toys and characters they see every day. Coincidentally, "kids" of all ages have enjoyed the result - and Tiny Saints was born. Since 2012, we have sold more than 1,000,000 Tiny Saints charms. Customers have found our products online and in retail locations worldwide. They’ve spread the word through social media and in their faith communities about the Tiny Saints they clip to their backpacks, purses, keychains, pet collars and more! This has inspired us to keep growing, and we are not slowing down! From retail products to education to entertainment, our goal is to take the unassuming, yet profound, concept of sainthood and share it with as many people as possible. Our award-winning 2014 children’s book, "The Saints Are Watching Over Me", has proven that we are more than a charm company that is always looking to innovate! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Tiny Saints, and we hope these little products continue to bring us all closer to the center of all of this: Christ.
