How Peace Lily Began (And Why That Matters)

At Peace Lily, we didn’t just want to build a gifting business—we wanted to change how gifting feels. Our journey started with a simple but big idea: gifting should be personal, meaningful and kind to the planet.

In a world full of mass produced, forgettable stuff, our founder saw an opportunity to put heart and purpose back into giving. So Peace Lily was born with a mission to make ethical and artisan gifting beautifully simple and truly unforgettable.

But building something new—especially with sustainability at its core—isn’t easy. It meant finding UK artisans who value craft and care. It meant designing packaging that looks great and treads lightly on the Earth. It meant not compromising on our values even when it took longer or cost more.

Today, Peace Lily works with amazing local makers like:

🌿 Sarah Churchill – a culinary artisan with an impressive 175 Great Taste Awards.
🌿 Liz Corley – an award-winning artist creating nature-inspired home decor from her charming Cotswold residence.

This isn’t just a gift company—it’s a movement. A way to connect people with stories, passion and sustainable choices. Because gifts should do more than sit on shelves. They should spark smiles, support local makers and protect the planet.

We’re proud to say Peace Lily is now helping people and businesses across the UK give gifts that mean more — for birthdays, client thank yous and everything in between.

That’s our story—and we think it matters more now than ever.

Bonus section: Lessons we've learned in Ethical Gifting as Peace Lily has grown.

We’ve all seen it happen—those big corporate gift orders that tick the boxes but miss the mark. A bulk shipment of overseas-made, branded products arrives on time. The intention is there … but the impact? Generic. Underwhelming. Forgotten within days.

That kind of gifting may be common, but it’s not meaningful.

At Peace Lily Gifts, we’ve taken a different path from the very beginning. I started this business to challenge the norm: to move away from impersonal tokens and toward thoughtful, ethical, and intentional gifting.

Ethical gifting isn’t complex, but it does require a shift in perspective. It means asking:

●Who made this gift?

●Where did it come from?

●What message does it send?

When you choose gifts that support local artisans, use sustainable packaging, or focus on wellbeing, you're doing more than checking a box. You're showing your values. You're creating a connection. You're building trust.

Every Peace Lily box tells a story. It’s about what’s inside—but also about who it supports, how it’s made, and what it says about you as the giver.

So if you’re in HR, admin, or leadership and planning your next team celebration, client thank-you, or employee wellbeing touchpoint—I’d love to connect. The right gift doesn’t just surprise. It reflects your culture.

Let’s make every gift meaningful.
