*NEW* Feature Friday - Gifts And Home Boutique 29th Of April



New Feature Friday!
Featuring Gifts and Home Boutique

Hi my lovelies! It's been long overdue for the regular Feature Fridays and I'm happy to bring it back this year; As you know, my feature Fridays were created to give awareness on small businesses, bloggers and creative minds. To give them a boost of well deserved views and I'm glad it has helped thus far. This week's feature is a lovely store that I came across called Gifts and home boutique ran by friends Sarah and Maz, They sell all things special for the home with personalized and sentimental options to choose from. 
I think when it comes to finding a gift for someone on a memorable occasion that my usual go to would be for example Etsy, but since looking at this small online store it has really opened up ideas for future gift giving to come! Under categorized tabs, the web page helps you select the exact occasion your looking to buy for, including home decor ideas too! With quirky ideas that you can't find on the high street, Gifts and Home Boutique is a store to sure swoon over!

Interview with Sarah l Owner of Gifts and Home Boutique

1) What has been your key inspiration to your current career?
We started our own business knowing we both shared the love of Personalised and thoughtful gifts for everyone and the home. We love shopping for all pretty little things that make great accessories and gifts for all occasions that offer that personal touch. we were both at a similar point in our careers and family lives to take this on and give it a go.

2) What do you enjoy the most about your job?
Getting to do something we truly love, we both enjoy sources new and beautiful personalised products for every occasion and add that extra special touch with most of our products been personalised, we generally adore everything we sell in fact that is our one rule "if we don't completely love it we don't sell it."

3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' moment?
As we started with a small shop on Facebook and as word spread and demand quickly grew we decided to open our own online store giftsandhomeboutique that you see today.

4) Where do you see yourself in the future?
We hope to maintain this for as long as possible or until we reached such a point that we can perhaps take on a shop of our own.

5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the same career path as yourself?
If its something that you long to do and have an opportunity to do it then give it a go, wherever we end up in the future we know we will never look back and wonder what if, we can both look back and say we tried.

Interview with Kate Garey l Owner/Designer of KateGarey.com


1) What has been your key inspiration to your current career?
My brand came about quite organically and it’s hard to pin point specific inspirations as there are so many. I really enjoy using retro prints like polka dots and stripes to be the back drop for my designs. I try to stick to a theme for each collection but I try and let ideas come to me naturally. Business peeps wise I was really in awe of brands like Lulu Guinness and Cath Kidston and I love illustrators Kate Sutton & Gemma Correll. Really there are so many inspiring business, creative and crafty women out there I feel I am in good company and am inspired by them all every day. Design wise I look to nature, animals and retro feel.
2) What do you enjoy the most about your job?
It’s lovely being able to be creative each day. To listen to music as loud as you like while you are working. Meeting fellow creatives for coffee & a chat. Getting all excited each time one of your new designs comes to life. Ultimately being your own boss.

3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' moment?
I think my proudest moment is yet to come. There is a lot I want to do still so I'm looking forward to doing them. I'm proud to have started and grown my own business on my own without really knowing what I was doing. It’s a brave thing to make dreams a reality. I also get a nice buzz when I get some press in a magazine or paper, It’s weird seeing your name in print.

4) Where do you see yourself in the future?
Oooh that's a mystery! I’d really like to keep growing, spreading the word about my little business. There are more products I’d like to try and do but for now I'm concentrating on the handbags & accessories.

5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the same career path as yourself?
Be brave, take the leap. 

6) Which would you say is your favourite item off your website at the moment?
I love the Mr Sausage Dog Day Bag but I'm excited about my A/W collection coming out in September. I can’t decide between The Dapper doctors bag or the Mad Legs Luxx Bag.
