I am the founder of Bestowe Gifting, an elevated gifting service that customizes presents and packages with unique products. Our mission is to support small and mid-tier artisans, businesses, and communities with the products we sell and curate together.

In 2018 I added a concierge service to Bestowe to cater to the demanding custom gifting from the corporate and event marketplace. There was a big desire to move away from Corporate Logoed Swag and toward making a connection to the local community, artisans and creating long-lasting memories and relationships through gifts.

Hi, I’m Tom Strickland and I co-founded Bookblock. We’re a gifting business and manufacturers, creating anything from candles to chocolate to stationery, along with personalised cards and children’s books, which we sell through our gifting platform online.

We currently have an annual turnover of £2m, and this is predominantly down to our corporate manufacturing arm rather than the new consumer arm which is about to take off.

Australian Woodwork is a family-owned and managed an online store that sells a wide range of Australian made woodcraft. We represent many different craftsmen from all over the country who use traditional woodworking techniques combined with modern technology and good contemporary design to create beautiful and useful household items.

We find that the more we emphasize our certified Australian-made status, the more we sell in a marketplace that is increasingly dominated by imported goods.

I’m Elliot Bishton, the founder of Engravers Guild of London, an online personalised gift retailer. We describe ourselves as curators and finishers of beautiful gifts, such as engraved hip flasks, silver cufflinks, jewellery and fragrances.

I am Iqbal Anwar and I am the founder of Tohfabd. I have been running this venture since last April 2021. Tohfabd is an online gift delivery business that allows people living in other countries to send gifts to loved ones in Bangladesh. On special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Eid, and others, people from all over the world can send cakes, chocolates, flowers, food, groceries, and gifts to make their loved ones feel special.

It's ideal for wedding favors, corporate gifts, birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, and other occasions. A box of fresh fruit, a chocolate basket, or an indulgence present can bring our customers the utmost satisfaction and joy. Most of our customers choose to recognize their loved ones' special days with a beautiful cake with a nice note, hence we primarily sell cakes. Flowers are included with each present by our delivery agent to make it more elegant and memorable. Our clients are all Bangladeshi expats living abroad.
