Back in May 2015, I still had 3 children living at home and lived a very different life, when we decided to buy a business! It seemed like a good idea at the time 🙂 This photo is from our first metropol editorial when we took over the business.
I cannot believe all the hurdles we have had, cycleways, road works, covid and lockdowns, recessions, and even a few earthquakes. Things have changed in retail over the past ten years, online shopping has grown and changed so much, but thankfully there is still a place for the little gift store in the suburbs.
I also cannot believe how many fabulous people I have met along the way, fellow business owners, industry colleagues, and wonderful customers who have become friends.
Thank you to my fabulous staff, Andrea has been with me the whole time and I couldn’t have done it without her. Jill, Blossom, Elaine, Abby, Tor, and my lovely girls Emma and Kate, and all the others who have helped along the way.
Thank you also goes to my wonderful wholesalers and suppliers, for allowing us to curate such a great collection of gifts.
But the biggest thanks go to our loyal customers, you are reason we are here.
