  • Pauline - Canterbury Down Syndrome Association

    "Thank you so very much for the amazing gift box sent recently. It was presented to our outgoing Chairperson last evening and she was completely blown away by it.  She especially loved the fact the products were sourced from companies who support people with disabilities.  Her wee girl has Down syndrome and she is passionate about seeing people with DS live their best lives."

So much attention to detail and genuine care are put into each box. From the stunning presentation to the personal touch of those handwritten cards, it's easy to see that these gifts are crafted with love."
