Handmade and Handpicked

Self-Care Products Just for You

Hey lovely. I'm so glad you're here!

Everything in this little shop is handmade and handpicked, with a lot of love and a lot of intention.

Soaps, skincare, candles, journals, crocheted keepsakes, personalised gifts. Every single piece is created the slow way, the careful way, the way that feels good to make and even better to give.

I started this little business because I believe small, beautiful things matter. The way a bar of soap can turn a rushed shower into a moment of calm. The way a candle and a quiet page can hold you together at the end of a hard day. The way a thoughtfully wrapped gift can tell someone they are seen and loved.

That is what Sunshine and Petals is here for. To remind you to take care of yourself, and then to spread that kindness to the people you love.

Made By Hand, Chosen With Heart

Most of what you'll find here is made in my home studio in Rolleston. The rest has been carefully chosen to fit the same gentle & loving way of doing things. 

Made slowly. Made with intention.

There is something different about a thing made by hand. You can feel it. The care that went into it, the time it took, the heart behind it. 

Take care of yourself first.

You cannot pour from an empty cup, and yet so many of us try. I have been there. The days where everyone else gets the best of you and you are left with whatever scraps are still standing at the end. This is your gentle reminder to put yourself back on the list. Light the candle. Write the page. Use the good soap. Let yourself feel like a ray of sunshine, even on the cloudiest day. Then, when your cup is full, share that warmth with someone who needs it too.
