Since we started our company in 2003 we have been actively involved in many community projects and many fund-raising events for various charities.
Each year we aim to donate approximately $1,000 - $1,500 around NZ - not bad for a small home based, husband and wife business!
Our efforts have been recognised by winning an "Outstanding Business Citizenship" award and receiving Highly Commended in other awards on more than one occasion for our giving back to the community business ethics.
In 2010 we the charities we supported included the North Shore Hospice, Greenhithe Kindy, Waikanae Lions, Royal NZ Yacht Squadron, Recreate Auckland Trust, plus several schools acroos Auckland.
It can be daunting to think of interesting ways to raise funds - here are some of the events that we have been involved in that have been hugely successful:
-
Ladies shopping evenings - get a guest speaker involved, various trade tables of high quality goods, charge a minimum door price and you have the makings of a great fun evening while raising money.
-
Corporate Shopping Events - invite us to your offices - all we need is a cafe or boardroom to set up in and then the staff can come and do their shopping during lunch or make it more special and invite us for an after hours function. 10% of sales will be donated to the charity of your choice.
-
Silent auctions - we donate a piece of jewellery for your auction, plus have a table selling the jewellery then give you an additional 10% of sales!
-
Trivia pursuit nights - we can doante a piece of jewellery, have a table selling jewellery, then donate an additional 10% from the sales.
-
House and garden tours - these are massively successful raising many thousands of dollars, having our jewellery for sale in one of the houses or in the garden makes an attractive 'add on' for the people that come to the tour plus create additional revenue for you with little effort.
-
Morning teas - book just a few select trade tables - have door prizes, have fun, raise money
-
Advertise amongst your group for jewellery party bookings - for every booking that generates sales of $250+ we will donate $25 to the fundraising committee.

-
Lumino the Dentists in Takapuna recently invited us to their office - great fun was had by all, shopping was easy and we donated $49.50 to North Shore Hospice.
-
ASB C-Drive had a huge shopping experience at the end of November and linked it to Movember to help raise funds (many of the blokes were sporting quite healthy looking 'Mo's' - as a result of the great sales we were able to donate $186 to a great cause.
By buying jewellery you help charities - there's a new one to tell the husband when you go home with a gorgeous new pendant!
We have been delighted to continue our good work during 2010 assisting many local charities including:
