💕 Happy Valentine’s Day! 🥰 .
We’ve been a bit quiet here because, if we are being honest, there simply isn’t just enough time. While we started this almost five years ago purely because we loved putting gift packages together, there wasn’t enough time or sometimes even the money to invest in it.
And as competition grew and similar pages started popping up, we took an (un)conscious step back because we couldn’t keep up. Our prices were more expensive than others because we couldn’t buy in bulk because we actually believe that “gift boxes” are not always the most personalised gifts. While there is nothing wrong with it, our philosophy differs from it. When you place an order with us, we take some time to speak to you via email/text/DM back and forth to find out more details about the recipient and take time to curate gift packages that are meaningful.
To date, even five years after, our spirit of gift giving has not changed. It’s not about how expensive the gift is really, but it is about giving them something they would genuinely appreciate. Of course having it nicely packaged is great, but as we also celebrate this day of love today, as with all the other days of love in a year, it comes down being aware of what’s on the inside, even in a gift box.
So you could say that we were pleasantly surprised after about nearly a year of not posting here on Instagram and being inactive on social media in general, when an old client, since 2017, reached out and asked if we could do a quick Valentine’s Day gift package for his wife. Being honest, we were unprepared, yet thrilled to take on this and even have some of our favourite Totes Brownies in the basket.
