Our Story

Hi! I’m Emily, the founder of and one-woman team behind Peaces Of Mine. I’m based in Godalming in Surrey, living with my partner, our baby daughter and our two indoor bunnies.

I started Peaces Of Mine in June 2020 during the first national lockdown of the Covid pandemic. At that time the importance of slowing down and taking care of our wellbeing became more apparent than ever before. It felt like our fast-paced world came to a pause and we were able to reflect on what truly matters - one of the silver linings of that terribly difficult time.

After my partner and I had to return home early from travelling Southeast Asia due to Covid, and having known for a while that I wanted to start my own business and do something creative, lockdown provided the space, opportunity and inspiration I needed. I decided to begin sharing my love of beautiful, Earth-friendly products that inspire peaceful moments.

I’m passionate about the power of taking intentional time to find some calm each day, and how the right products can help us do this. I want to help you carve out more time for yourself in your busy days and create beautiful, yet simple, practices and routines to support your overall wellbeing. Many of us struggle to make time for it, but self-care is an essential, not a luxury, and I hope Peaces Of Mine can help you make it a priority each day.

It’s important to me that our products are gentle on the environment too. I believe being kind to ourselves and our planet come hand in hand and I’m conscious of helping to look after and protect our planet both as a business and an individual.

I’m also passionate about supporting small businesses, partly due to the incredible amount of love and thought that goes into the products they create. When you shop small you’re helping to turn a dream into reality, supporting an individual, family or small team of people and boosting local economies. That’s why all of our products are carefully sourced from amazing small businesses all around the UK who share our love for self-care and our planet and who we’re proud to partner with.

Our carefully curated collection of gift boxes and goodies are perfect to treat yourself or gift to a loved one. I’d love for everybody to experience the wonderful benefits of simple products that can truly support wellbeing, are a joy to use and help us reconnect with the present moment in a beautiful way.

I really hope you find something in our shop that helps you find a little peace in our busy world.

Thank you for being here!


Our Mission & Values

Our mission is to help you slow down and find a little peace in our busy world through beautiful but simple practices.

We take great pleasure in working closely with lots of amazing small businesses across the UK who align with our values, are conscious of their impact on our planet and do what they do with a great deal of love.

We care a lot about caring: for ourselves, others, our planet and the animals we share it with. This is why all of our products are vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly, mainly plastic-free with fully recyclable or biodegradable packaging. We love making your gift boxes look gorgeous while doing our bit for the environment and we’re proud to say that our gift boxes are packaged with plastic-free and fully recyclable or biodegradable materials. We also reuse most of the packaging we receive from our suppliers and encourage you to reuse as much of what you receive from us as possible. As an eco-conscious business we will continue working to reduce our environmental footprint while helping you to reduce yours.

We hope that together we can build a community which provides a safe, happy and peaceful space to connect with like-minded people, supports your wellbeing journey and brings joy to your life.

 

Why “Peaces Of Mine”?

  1. “Peaces Of Mine” is a play on the phrase "peace of mind". One of the goals of POM is to help you find your peace of mind and inner calm through practising self-care and using beautiful products that aid your wellbeing. Also, using products that we know are kind to our planet gives us greater peace of mind.

    2. We hope that our products help you carve out moments of peace in our busy world. Those moments are yours.

    3. The products are "pieces" of yours to enjoy in your own way.

 

We’re passionate about…

 

Kindness

Kindness makes the world go round, doesn’t it? Being kind to ourselves, others, all beings and our planet is at the heart of Peaces Of Mine. We hope this is reflected in our collection of self-care products chosen to help you look after your wellbeing with eco-friendly, vegan and cruelty-free products.

 

Slowing Down

We live in a go-go-go world where busyness is celebrated and people are often rushing around and multitasking, which can negatively impact our wellbeing and lead us to miss beautiful little moments. Self-care can be too easily put on the back-burner but we all deserve to make it a priority. We hope to inspire you to live more mindfully, press pause when you need to and find your peace.

Our Planet

All of our products have been consciously created by small businesses with our planet in mind. We use plastic-free and fully recyclable/biodegradable packaging and are continually working to reduce our impact on our planet and become more sustainable.

 

Supporting Small

Small, like-minded businesses coming together and supporting each other is special. We take great pleasure in working with small businesses across the UK who truly care about what they do and create products with love, thought and passion. When you shop with us you’re not only supporting us but lots of other small businesses too! And when you support a small business, you’re helping a dream come true.

Natural Ingredients

We believe it’s important to understand the ingredients in the products we use. Our products are carefully selected, partly for their natural ingredients given to us by Mother Earth, which are kind to us and help us feel more connected to nature. We say no to nasty chemicals.

 

Supporting Local

Supporting local businesses where possible has many benefits, an important one being reducing our environmental footprint, and just feels wholesome. All POM products are sourced from wonderful UK businesses so don’t have to travel a long distance around the world to reach your boxes.
