Surprise Hamper

🎁 Because every smile deserves its Surprise Hamper moment.

Someone once told me to think a little bigger.

At the time, I didn’t really know what to do with that. Bigger how? I had no idea.

But somehow, those words stuck with me.

I knew I wanted to create something more. I was looking for an idea, playing with different thoughts and wondering what that “bigger” could actually look like for me. But nothing quite clicked.

Until a few days ago.

A couple of circumstances came together, one thought led to another, and suddenly there it was. An idea that had probably been forming somewhere in the background without me even realising it.

And since then? My brain apparently has no interest in thinking about much else. 😂

What started as an idea only a few days ago has already turned into hours of thinking, planning, figuring things out, changing things, starting again… and somehow I’ve found myself right in the middle of actually working on it.

I have absolutely no idea yet where this will lead. And I’m not ready to share what it is just yet.

But there’s something incredibly exciting about that moment when an idea stops being “maybe someday” and becomes “okay… let’s see if I can actually do this.”

So that’s exactly what I’m doing. 👀🤍

Let’s see where it goes.

A little behind the scenes from today’s baking. 🍪

I’m keeping the batches small — just 3 or 4 of each — because figuring out how much to make is always a bit of a guessing game. 😅

Too much? Too little? Just right?

I’ll let you know tomorrow. 😂

Welcome to Episode #1 of Let’s See If This Works.

Year two has officially begun… and I have a feeling there’s plenty waiting around the corner. 🤍

Some things are already taking shape. Autumn flavours, cosy baking days, new little ideas, Christmas hampers (yes, I’m already thinking about Christmas 🎄) and plenty more moments of joy along the way.

But I also want to leave some space for the things I can’t plan yet.

Because who knows? Maybe one small idea will turn into something much bigger. Maybe an unexpected opportunity will come along. Maybe Surprise Hamper will take me somewhere I haven’t even thought of yet.

I have plans. I have far too many ideas. 😄 And there are definitely a few things quietly taking shape behind the scenes.

But I don’t want to know the whole story just yet.

Let’s see what year two has in store… 👀🤍

Apparently, building a small business involves changing your mind. A lot. 😂

I’m slowly learning that changing something doesn’t mean the idea before was wrong — sometimes you just learn what you want to do differently.

So here we are. Another little change, another experiment… and we’ll see where this one goes. 🤍

I could only share the sold-out days, the lovely orders, the full tables and all the moments when things go exactly as planned. But that wouldn’t be the whole story. 🤍

Sometimes you prepare everything, fill the shed, look forward to opening it… and then the day simply doesn’t turn out the way you expected.

Today was one of those days. I opened the Pastry Shed and didn’t sell a single thing.

Am I sharing this because I feel sorry for myself? Absolutely not. It’s simply part of running a small business — and I think these days deserve a place in the story too.

Because one quiet day doesn’t suddenly make an idea bad. It doesn’t erase all the days that worked. And it definitely doesn’t mean you have to question everything you’re doing.

Sometimes today just didn’t work. And that’s very different from it doesn’t work.

So the shed gets closed, the treats come back inside, and life goes on. 🤍

One year. 🇮🇪✨

Watching these little clips back made me unexpectedly emotional.

A year ago, I came to Ireland with Surprise Hamper and no idea where any of it would lead. I just started. I baked, packed, tried things, changed things, had ideas that worked and others that definitely didn’t. 😅

And somewhere along the way, this little business started becoming part of my life here.

There’s still so much I want to try, build and discover. But looking back at where it started is a lovely reminder that you really don’t need to have everything figured out.

Sometimes you just need to take the first little step. And then the next.

And because one year in Ireland — and one year of building Surprise Hamper here — feels like something worth celebrating, I’m doing exactly that next Saturday, 15th August. 🥳

I’ll be opening the trailer for a little anniversary celebration, with plenty of treats, coffee and, hopefully, lots of little moments of joy. 🤍

One year down. And I’m very curious to see where the next little steps will lead. 🇮🇪

Building a brand feels so different from simply building a business. 🤍

A business can be about products, prices, orders and sales. But a brand slowly becomes something more. It develops its own feeling, its own little world and, somehow, a piece of the person behind it.

For me, it’s in all the small things. Creating a new idea and watching it become real. Finding the right words for a card. Thinking about how something should look and feel. Adding another little detail and suddenly realising: yes, this belongs here.

And I think that’s the part I enjoy the most. There is no finished version. One idea leads to another, the story keeps growing, and with every new piece it feels a little more like Surprise Hamper.

Of course, building a business means thinking about numbers and making sales. But building a brand gives me something else too — it gives me a ridiculous amount of joy. ✨

And maybe that’s exactly what I want this brand to pass on: not necessarily something big or complicated, but those little things that make an ordinary day feel a bit brighter. 🤍

What if joy isn’t complicated? 💛

For a long time, I thought joy had to be something big.
A special occasion.
A perfect gift.
A reason to celebrate.

But the more I build my little business, the more I realise that joy often looks completely different.

It’s a handwritten note that someone keeps for years.

It’s a warm cookie straight from the oven.

It’s an unexpected message from a friend.

It’s sitting in the garden with a cup of coffee.

It’s someone simply thinking of you.

Those moments may only last a few minutes, but somehow they’re the ones we remember the longest.

That’s also the reason why I started Surprise Hamper.

Not because I wanted to sell products, but because I wanted to create little moments that make people smile, slow down for a second, or remind someone that they’re being thought of.

Because maybe joy doesn’t have to be complicated after all. 💛

What’s one small thing that brought you joy this week? ✨
