Wow Thank You: New website promoting UK handmade crafts launches

Find us at WowThankYou!

WowThankYou.co.uk, a new website celebrating handmade crafts and promoting the talents of artisans across the UK, launched this weekend.

With over 1,000 products currently on offer, many of which are one-off items, WowThankYou has been set up to encourage you to look beyond the high street and buy unique, home-grown, gifts instead.

Promoting the work of 230 small, often home-based, businesses and artisans – including Fi & Me - WowThankYou is providing an online outlet for artists and crafters who usually only sell through regional craft fairs.

WowThankYou has been set up by friends Tracey Kifford and Georgena Bowdidge who conceived the business concept after failing to find ‘different’ quality gifts online.

“Why import mass-produced goods when we have UK-based talent who put love and care into every item they make?,” say Tracey and Georgena.

Many items on the website utilise vintage materials and upcycling is actively encouraged and promoted – everything from reclaimed wood and recycled silver to designer keepsakes from cherished fabrics.
