**Welcome to Cherished Moments – Where Every Gift Tells a Story**

 

Hi, I’m Marie, the heart and hands behind Cherished Moments. My journey into handmade gifts started in 2020, right after welcoming my youngest into the world. My second child had arrived just before COVID, and life quickly became a whirlwind—balancing a newborn, a day job, and caring for my child with additional needs. I needed more flexibility to manage hospital appointments and the everyday juggle of motherhood, so I started thinking about how I could build a career that truly worked for my family. More than anything, I’ve always believed in cherishing the little moments that make life special. That’s what led me to create personalised photo magnets—because a gift should be more than just an item; it should capture a feeling.

 

Over time, I expanded my collection to include wooden and acrylic gifts, each crafted with care and designed to bring warmth, love, and a personal touch to any occasion. When I first started making wooden décor, my inspiration came from the nursery items I had dreamed of when I had my first child. At the time, funds were tight, and I couldn't justify the expense, which is why I strive to offer beautiful, high-quality gifts at reasonable prices.

 

In 2024, I took a leap of faith, leaving my day job to fully dedicate myself to my business. My dream is to grow Cherished Moments into a company that not only creates beautiful keepsakes but also makes a difference. A big part of my long-term goal is to create employment opportunities for my disabled son. Right now, he helps in his own way—by adding branding stickers to envelopes (so they may not always be perfectly straight!). As my business grows, I hope to offer him and others a supportive and flexible workplace.

 

Every item in my shop is handcrafted with love, from the materials I choose to the designs I create. Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift or a keepsake to treasure, I hope my work brings a little joy into your life.

 

Thank you for supporting a small business with a big heart. Your support means the world to me!
