Chocolate Gifts |
Delightfully quirky chocolate gifts that’ll take you back to those moments of childhood wonder. Nestled in the heart of Bedfordshire, we dream up and craft every delicious treat — and its playful packaging — with love and a sprinkle of chocolate obsession. Nostalgic wonder. Quirky gifts packaged by hand. Always mindful with reusable and recyclable packaging. I write this note to you whilst sitting in my factory, surrounded by all-things chocolate… think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but with a lot more hairnets, stainless steel, and white coats! Everything you discover here — from the delightfully quirky chocolate shapes to the oh-so memorable packaging — is imagined, designed and illustrated by me, and crafted by an amazing team in our factory in Bedfordshire, or by fellow small-batch makers around the Great British Isles. We’re proud to say that all of our cocoa — our main ingredient, of course! — is ethically sourced to support foundations that help farmers protect their livelihoods and communities. Finally, thank you for shopping with us, and allowing myself and my team to do a job we adore.Happy exploring, Lauren x |

Apostle Hot Sauce
 |
Food & Beverage |
Apostle is a small team of three, Mat, Lydia and their dog Ben. Mat had been concocting delicious sauces, ferments and spice mixes for years, so in an attempt to get to know their community better, they started selling them at their local market in Paekākāriki. With an overwhelmingly positive response, they decided to do more. With Lydia’s background in graphic design and their shared love of great food, they thought this would be a wonderful way to utilise their individual skills and passions to create something beautiful together. They draw inspiration for their flavours from the diverse culinary landscape of Aotearoa, blending the best of local flavours to make every dish enjoyable. Heavily inspired by Roman Catholic artwork, Greek Orthodox iconography, Irish Illuminated Manuscripts and Tarot de Marseilles, each bottle and its contents are considered a work of art, a gift from their hearts to your plate. |
