More
Than Gifts
http://www.morethangifts.co.uk
Being
made redundant after 29 years of working for the same company, I
realised how true it was that many of us have ideas and dreams to
change our working life but, as it is usually involves taking a
risk, we need a 'push' to actually make it happen.
With the redundancy, I was fortunate to be given that opportunity
to diversify into a new career and form my own business.
From
the outset, I wanted to focus on 2 main aims -
1. To
offer my customers authentic and unusual quality gifts from around
the world at affordable prices.
2. To promote and support Fair Trading and small local communities
throughout the world.
Like many people shopping for presents and gifts, I have often found
it frustrating that High Street shops seem to sell similar, mass-produced
items. It is difficult and very time-consuming to find unusual and
inspirational gift ideas for friends and family.
So I
decided to do something about it and created 'More Than Gifts'.
We specialise
in offering authentic, handmade quality gifts from around the world
that will provide inspiring and often unique gift ideas for all
occasions - birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Easter, Mother's
Day, a token of thanks or just a thoughtful gesture.
Many
of the handcrafted items are sourced from Fair Trade suppliers and
small communities. This helps to ensure that the producers of the
goods are working in safe conditions and receiving fair wages and
benefits. Things that we may take for granted in this country.
By purchasing
from More Than Gifts, you will help to promote and encourage fair
trading for these people and provide them with the means to tackle
the longer-term problems faced by developing countries.
We are
also aware of environmental issues and try to encourage suppliers
to use production methods that will have the minimum effect on the
environment by using recycled or sustainable materials when possible.
Please
visit our site at http://www.morethangifts.co.uk
and view the range of gifts we have carefully selected.
Please also look at our link page if you would like to know more
about Fair Trade and Charity organisations that are associated with
supporting developing countries.
We also
welcome trade enquiries from small UK businesses.
