Happy New Year from Sincerity Gifts

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year from Sincerity Gifts! We trust you all had a very pleasant Christmas and New Year Break. For us after a busy run up to Christmas, it was nice to spend some much needed family time. With seven children between us, there was certainly lots to do and catch up with!

As we enter our second year with Sincerity we look back at 2011 in what was a very memorable year for us. For those that have  been following us for the last few months will know of our exciting wins with Theo Paphitis and his Small Business Sunday on Twitter (#sbs) and Jacqueline Gold's Women on Wednesday (#wow). To be chosen by two highly respected Business people was a big honour for us and has had a positive impact on our business. 

The icing on the cake was our Gold Website award from MumpreneurUK in November.  We work very hard with the website and our customers are  most important to us, and we strive hard to give our customers a good shopping experience and so were over the moon to know that Independent Judges had chosen to award us with a Gold Award for the Website Design, Navigation, Ease of Use, Content and Overall Presentation. 

You can read about it here

We hope to continue with our success and do more great things in 2012. We promise lots of new goodies, with our Local, Handmade,and Ethically sourced gifts, so do keep checking back. 

Love

Monica and Maria xx
