mamaME meets forMAMAandBABA

Meet Holly, founder of forMAMAandBABA; a business that creates stylish silicone teething accessories. They not only look great, but they're a fab distraction for grabby little hands, and are safe for babies to chew. We have had the pleasure of collaborating with Holly and her service and products have been second to none. Here's her story:

​Hi, I'm Holly - full time mum to two year old twins, Leo and Harriet, and wife to Stephen. 

forMAMAandBABA came about after searching for a gift for an expectant friend. I was looking for teething jewellery as I love the idea of giving a gift that is for both mum and baby - after carrying a baby all that time we deserve something too! But I was disappointed by the prices and gift packaging - or lack of - from the big brands out there ...so i decided to make my own! 

In my life before children I was a fashion buyer for a major department store, so I'm no stranger to sourcing products and materials, and I quickly decided I wanted to turn it into a business. I had loved my job and really missed it after 2 years away so this was something to help fill that gap  - despite not actually having any time and being perpetually tired from looking after the twins I manage to fit my work around them in the evenings and at weekends I do markets - my husband is incredibly supportive.

I launched forMAMAandBABA in August 2016 and had a wonderful response - the business has steadily grown ever since and I hope that this is down to the personal service my customers receive. Most of my jewellery is custom made and I love putting together designs for customers. I have lots of loyal customers who tell me that this is down to the great value, lovely packaging and great service - which makes me very happy as this is exactly why I started the business.

I'm really proud of how far I've come in just 6 months and I'm so grateful that I get to spend every day with my crazy and wonderful children while still doing something I love - I can't wait to see what 2017 will bring!

Holly
