Imagine if you could find the perfect gift without the fuss and hassle of hunting for something ‘good enough’.
This dream has become a reality with Rikki Schmalkuchen from Simply Beautiful Gifts.
The mother of three has created the space in Ashgrove that stocks unique pieces from around Australia.
Not only is the store stacked with beautiful bits-and-bobs that we all wish we owned, but Simply Beautiful Gifts specialises in personalised hampers!
Doesn’t that sound… simply beautiful?!
We pay Rikki a visit where she talks us through the magic of hampers and gives us some tips on what to give dad this father’s day!
How did Simply Beautiful Gifts come about?
Previous to owning the store I worked away a lot of the time in a corporate role.
I found it was always a struggle to find nice, unique gifts for people that I genuinely wanted to give and people would want to keep.
I began researching different options that would work as a business model.
From there, I launched the Simply Beautiful Gifts online store, which allowed me to be at home with my children.
It was only recently that we opened our store here and I am so pleased with it.
What do you do here at Simply Beautiful Gifts?
What I’m most passionate about is our custom gifts and hampers.
I love putting unique gifts together that suit someone’s budget and needs.
Every hamper is tailored to suit the person who it’s going to with the desire that they’ll love, use and treasure every item in the hamper.
We like to stock a variety of items from local businesses and businesses from around the country.
We also engage in collaborations with other businesses in the community, for example, we sell beautiful fresh flowers from Enoggera Flowers down the road and we also stock the fashion label Kahmuh.
Our values are based on being supportive of the local community.
