Q. What do you love most about Marlborough?
A. The relaxed atmosphere, warm sunny days and
being surrounded by family.
Q. What is extra special about your business?
A. We are in the business of making people
happy. A lot of thought goes into each and every
basket to make it extra special and personal for
the receiver of the gift. A favourite colour bow,
a special scented candle even vegan and gluten
free items, if we don’t have it we do our best to
source it to make the gift perfect.
Q. Why is appreciation so important?
A. We all know a little thanks can go a long
way. Even just one small show of appreciation
and gratitude can have an endless ripple effect
which can change the course of someone’s day,
week, month, year or even their entire life. This
is something we strongly believe in and we are
instilling this into our children, teaching them to
appreciate everything in life no matter how big
or small.
Q What is the People appreciation initiative?
A. It is an initiative we created to encourage
happiness and show appreciation within
Marlborough. Whether it be the lovely checkout
operator who helped you take your groceries out
to your car or the awesome kindy teacher who
knows exactly the right way to distract your child
so you can leave and get to work on time.
Our gaol is to help the people of Marlborough
by giving them the opportunity to show their
appreciation and say "thanks you" to someone
who they feel has gone above and beyond!
Q. What is the purpose of your Appreciation
initiative?
A. We want to encourage random acts of
kindness and paying it forward.
Recognising and showing appreciation to those
people in the community who go out of their way
to help others, without being asked or expecting
something in return, maybe without even
realising it. Compassion and kindness help reduce
stress and negative emotions and at the end of
the day we just love making people happy!
Q. How can the community get involved?
A. By emailing your nominations to thanks@
giftsisters.co.nz. Write a brief description of who
it is and why you appreciate them and they will
go in the draw to win a fortnightly Gift Sisters
Appreciation gift and a shout out in the new
Marlborough weekly!
Q. What do you want the initiative to achieve?
A. We want to encourage friendship, compassion,
understanding, positivity and gratitude within
Marlborough while letting those special people
out there know no small deed goes unnoticed.
Q. What do you love most about giving this
opportunity to our community?
Ngaia Gill and Natasha Vincent
A. We love making people happy so we love
the fact that we get to help the Marlborough
community acknowledge those deserving people
out there. We know that sometimes the littlest
things can make the biggest difference and we
are so glad that we get to be a part of it.
Q. What is the best gift your have received and
how did it make you feel?
A. I once received a gift from my best friend, not
because it was my birthday or for any special
reason but just because. I could see the thought
that went into it as it contained items she knew
would make me smile. It gave me warm fuzzies to
know the gift was made especially for me.
