Hi! We’re Life’s Little Recipes! We’re a growing, family business based in North Devon, UK. The concept behind Life’s Little Recipes was created from an idea of sending or giving a little something to a friend or loved one to let them know that you recognise how special they are and that you’re thinking of them.
Now over to Fiona for more details….
”For 21 years, I worked as a Cancer nurse. I would often see friends and family visit the patients and saw that even the smallest thought or gesture could brighten the patient’s day, even if they were having a tough time. Understandably some people found it hard to show how they felt and make their feelings known that they really did care. As I trained and then became a psychotherapy counsellor, the experience taught me a huge amount about me, about human behaviour and how our communication impacts our relationships with others. I became so aware that recognition and authentic communication is so vitally important for us all.
After changes in my life and health, I realised that I needed to revaluate the way forward and it was at this time that a friend recognised how a business idea I had would work and how she knew I could run it from home! Life’s Little Recipes began!
We have worked hard to source products, the majority from the UK, that can be kept and treasured as a reminder to that person that someone cares and is thinking of them!
Thoughtfulness, kindness and the ability to see and recognise someone else can brighten a day. Allowing someone to feel seen, cared for and loved can change how they are in this world. Life’s Little Recipes wants to support and promote positive mental feel-good health!
The most important people behind Life’s Little Recipes!
We have a wonderful team who I rely on daily and who have and still are making Life’s Little Recipes flourish and I’m lucky to call them all my friends! They’re all going to get a shout out even if they don’t like it!!!!
