THE ONLINE GIFT-SHOP MAKERS & SELLERS
Our Lovely Goods
Small businesses have always been the place to go for gifts that have more of a personal touch, and the Aberdeen-based Our Lovely Goods is no exception. Ebi and Emmanuel Sinteh are the husbandand-wife team who launched the lifestyle brand in May 2019. ‘We’ve turned our passions and creativity into something tangible,’ says Ebi, ‘and it’s so rewarding.’ The couple create pieces ‘for self and surroundings,’ she says, from candles and skincare to art prints and storage baskets. ‘Candles are our bestselling item, and they make great gifts,’ Ebi says. When creating the fragrances, the couple draw their inspiration from the feelings they want to create in a space: ‘We start with an idea of what we want to evoke, whether that’s the scent of classic books with The Old Library or the aroma of pine tree forests with Into The Woods.’ For Christmas, they’re creating curated gift boxes that will include their own products, ‘plus small things from other brands we love,’ says Ebi, and they hope to run festive workshops too. As with many independent producers, the pieces sold on the Our Lovely Goods website sell out fast, so shop now. ourlovelygoods.com
