Shining Moments Personalised gifts for all occasions. Hi there & welcome to Shining Moments. I was born in England but after 17 years here, I call NZ my home and I love it.

I'm Diane - I'm Mam to 6 boys & Grandma to the most beautiful little people I've ever seen! I started making memorial gifts many years ago in memory of my beautiful baby Son Sam. I love making unique keepsakes and will always try my best to create something special for you.

Hey everyone 🥰 Thank-you all for the lovely comments and messages, it means the world to me ❤️ Quite a few questions were asked so I’ll answer here. Shining moments was one of Sam’s funeral songs (one shining moment/Diana Ross) He passed through the night of my birthday, sids, I had 2 rainbow babies and both of them had episodes of apnoea, stopping breathing, the youngest being the most severe, his heart stopped up to 25/26 times a day, was hospitalised more than he was at home, scary stuff but they are both fine now and lovely young men. After 33 years its hard because there’s not much you can do for your angel baby so I do this in Sam’s memory and I love it and I love his song ❤️ Thank-you all again ~ Diane x

For 33 years, I have carried my baby son Sam in my heart instead of my arms. He was only 5 weeks old and my heart broke into a million pieces when I lost him. This is a tribute to him, my beautiful boy, my special one, he has taught me so much and I am so proud he is my Son 💙

Hi everyone 🥰 First of all, thank you so much for the lovely messages and understanding while I took some much needed time out, I was feeling guilty for the page/my family/everything but it was needed and I feel great, my health is so much better, I even walked a marathon in May 😱 but it’s time to come back, I miss it. It’s 33 years next Saturday since my beautiful angel Sam gained his angel wings and I’ve been working on some amazing new products so I’ll be sharing a special tribute to him along with (hopefully) 33 new designs. I’ll post every day next week so if you see my posts give them a like/say hi or tag a friend and help me wake our page up please ~ Diane x

This has been such a hard decision to make, and one I’ve gone back and forth on for a while.

After years of dealing with ongoing health issues and 24/7 chronic pain, along with two unexpected health scares this year, I finally have some answers. I'm concentrating on my health and working out a treatment plan which up to now has totally transformed my life. I don't want to take my attention away from it and have it fail but I'm struggling with putting myself first as I hate to let anyone down.

I’ve also been working on new designs behind the scenes that just aren’t ready yet and I really want to take the time to completely revamp my store.

So for now, I’ll be putting my business on hold. It hasn’t been an easy choice at all. I feel so bad as I'm not used to putting me first but I need to see this through.

Thank you so much for all the support, kindness, and love you’ve shown me and my angels' little business. It means everything to me. I'll pop the odd photo/post on as I work my way through our new products and I’m sure I'll be back in a few months and as always, if you urgently need something, I'll be here in the background. Love to you all, Diane 🤍

Sending love and prayers for everyone waiting for cyclone Vaianu to arrive ~ Stay safe, sending hugs, Diane x ❤️❤️❤️
