When you’re rushing through the mayhem of life it is sometimes
hard to stop and consider what someone would actually want as a
gift.
New mum. Flowers. Tick.
Mother-in-law Birthday. Flowers. Tick.
Best friend’s heart break. Flowers. Tick.
But Steph Douglas, the founder of the alternative gift company Don’t Buy Her Flowers has another idea – gifts that require no effort but that produce a little pocket of TLC.
In this episode Steph tells the story of how life can get in the
way of connecting properly to those around us. She set up her
company to help those connections go a bit deeper through
thoughtful gifts that people actually want. She gives tips on the
best thing to say to a new mum (“you must be shattered” doesn’t cut
it), advises you not knock the day job (having a salary and
colleagues to chew the cud with shouldn’t be underestimated) and
how it’s ok to lower your domestic standards to get just get on
with life!
