Winning #SBS back in April 2011 gave us a tremendous boost. As well as gaining more followers it gave our business great exposure, which in turn led to been featured in Newspapers and Magazines and we have gone on to win other awards. One year on, our business has grown and we are still very proud to be part of such a wonderful network of supportive business people. Thank you Theo!
Sincerity Gifts is an online Gift Boutique launched in October 2010 by Monica Cove and Maria Howard.
Monica has four children including twins and Maria has three all between the ages of 16 and 24.
Previously, Monica worked as a Nursery Officer and Maria as a Hairdresser and both had a part time Craft Business that they ran from home together whilst their children were young.
After a break from the business to bring up the children, we relaunched in 2010 with a website, which enabled us to work from home.
We wanted to showcase an array of unique and beautiful handpicked products. You can find quirky and unusual items amongst organic and ethical pieces as well as our Best of British range
We like to support other small and local businesses enabling them to showcase their handmade products with us.
We have also won a #WOW award from Jacqueline Gold (CEO Ann Summers) and our website has been given a Gold Website award by MumpreneurUK. In 2012 we were voted Top 100 mums in Business in the UK by Mumsclub and became Ambassadors for them for our region in Hertfordshire.
