๐ Hi, Iโm Rachel! ๐
If youโre new around here, I thought Iโd properly introduce myself. Iโm one of the people behind Something Simple Cards & Gifts. โจ
Although you might think Something Simple is a new business, it actually started way back in 2014 as the name of my cake business! ๐
We'd been at Central Market Hall in Cradley Heath with our other business, Fragrant Whispers, since the end of October 2024. While we were there, we kept having people come into the market asking if anyone sold greetings cards.
There wasn't anyone currently selling them on the market, so after hearing the same question over and over, we decidedโฆ why not us? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
So in March 2025, we changed stalls and started selling cards โ and Something Simple Cards & Gifts was born! ๐
We actually kept Something Simple as our company name from the original cake business and now simply trade under different names โ Fragrant Whispers for our fragrance, bath & body products and Something Simple Cards & Gifts for our cards and gifts.
We're now stocking cards for pretty much every occasion, along with balloons, banners, badges, wrapping paper and other little bits and pieces for celebrations. ๐๐
I love that both sides of the business have grown from listening to what people actually want. Someone asks, โDoes anyone sellโฆ?โ and apparently our answer is eventually, โGive us a minuteโฆโ ๐
So, if you've been into see us before, what's your favourite thing you've found at Something Simple? Or if you're new here, what type of card do you find hardest to buy? ๐
I'd love to know! ๐
