Uniquely Gifted UK: Charity and Me!

Charity and Me!

I know, I know. Before you say anything let me explain that I'm older, wiser and considerably more ethically minded than I was once upon a long time ago.

I popped into the local Neighbourhood Office way back in June to see if they were doing any fundraising and if so could I donate some of my work. It turned out that they don't do fundraising but that they would give me a table at their Summer Fayre.
Along I went with all my work in bags and boxes and the manager saw my Wedding Cake Towel Bale and ordered one. The treasurer ordered Cupcake socks for his partners Father's party. I filled both of these orders and thought no more of it.

A few weeks ago I got an email from The treasurers partner who, as it happened, worked at a Charity called Break. She was asking me if I'd like to become involved with them and be promoted by them in return for a small donation.

Too good to be true? Not at all! It's all in the process of being set up and I am donating 10% of sales to the Charity.

I cannot believe my good fortune and their kind offer.

Thank you Break. I hope for a long and prosperous journey together.

Satisfied Customers

I know that the gifts I purchased were well received– the teenagers I bought for liked the novelty and the girl transformed the cherry decoration into a pendant as well! I hope Jackie’s business goes from strength to strength – coming to craft fairs this summer, perhaps…?’ ‘Wow– how lovely, and what a great idea. ‘ ‘My friend loved the nappy cake and everyone at the baby shower thought it was great.’ ‘My wife and daughter were so impressed that I’d got them something so unusual.’ ‘What a brilliant way to give socks.’ ‘I’ll be ordering more later on for birthday presents.’ ‘Those lovely gifts were a real hit with all the family.’ ‘At last – a fun way to give men’s socks.’ ‘Friends thought the box of cupcakes were gorgeous – one person even thought they were real cakes!’ ‘Thanks for my order of gifts – all so pretty and such good quality.’ ‘What a clever idea – must be made by someone very creative.’

I recently bought a beautiful Pamper Hamper from Uniquely Gifted and was thrilled with it. Perfect colour, perfect style. I couldn't fault it. It made a brilliant Anniversary gift.

Just to say a big thank you for all the’ cupcakes’ and ‘liquorice swirls’ you did for my father-in-law’s 80 birthday party. The day was great and everybody was absolutely charmed with the presents they got, they all thought they were such a lovely idea.

I have just finished distributing everyone’s orders and they are delighted. A few envious glances from people who didn’t order things so there may be more orders in the New Year. I’m so impressed with the quality of all the things you sent and the speed you got them done in. Thanks so much.
