It is with great joy and sadness that we are announcing our closure this 20 July 2022. What started as a calling in 2017 is coming to an end this 2022 after a beautiful five year journey into the world of blessing and gifting new families.
When we first started in August 2017, there weren't many gifts available to celebrate a newborn. Inspired to share that joy and blessing within our nation, we sparked off on an adventure to create what we felt would be a Blessing Box not just to those who receive it but also to support single parent and underprivileged families in Singapore.
In 2017, it was an entirely new experience to enter the business world and to create what I believed to be an impact to my community. With little knowledge about branding, marketing and content creation, our logo was created along with our first curations. We want to take this opportunity to thank:
1. The Brands that have worked with us
We want to especially thank our first few brands that worked with us, Seaapple, Annie + Alex, Urban Lil', Offspring Natural, Missy Chu, Ubermums, LittlePaperLight, Hevea Planet, BoysbyMark, Hunter & Boo, The Rest, Jamie Kay, 8AM Apparel, Hazel Village, Nodspark, the Brave Assembly and more. You all gave us the stepping stone to truly believe that we were capable of putting together a beautifully curated Blessing Box to bless our community.
And thereafter many other brands that have come to make our curations ever more beautiful - Doddle & Co, Halcyon Night, Pebble Child, Lydia Lim, Hsulynn Pang, Wildberrystore, Happy Times Reading, Triderma, Adorninglory, Wee Bean, Love Bonds, Re-Play, Treasure Box, ecostore, Glov and so many more. Thank you for your love and support to us over the years.
2. Stockists who have supported us
It would not have been possible to grow the way we did without the support of lovely stockists. For this we want to thank our beloved stockists, the Rock Gifts & Book Centre, Faithworks, SKS Bookstore, Gallery & Co, Mumsclub, Xhundredfold, the Nail Social, Wild Olive Branch, Liliewood Social and more.
Thank you for your love and support through the years.
3. Events and Booth Support
For event organisers for thinking of us, thank you for all these years of supporting us and allowing us - KKH Hospital, MBS, our Stockist Booth events, Crane, Habitat for Humanity, SG Cares and so many more.
Your support has meant so much for us to share what we love with those around us.
4. Our Brand Ambassadors and E&S Fam Bam
We couldn't have done this without you all. For those who supporting us by promoting our Blessing Boxes and volunteered your babies to model with us - Denise Tay, Fannie Chua, Scarlett Ansley, Cynthia Chia and so many more, as well as those who have been a firm supporter of our business through our mailing list and regular purchases, a great and big THANK YOU for all you have done for us in helping make our vision become a reality through these five years.
5. Our Beneficiary Groups + Sponsors
Because we all know, it takes a village to raise a child and what more a unit that does not have sufficient emotional and financial support. For this, we want to specifically give thanks to our beneficiary groups, HCSA Dayspring and FRCS Family Service Centre for journeying with us and allowing us to bless your beneficiaries. A big thanks and gratitude to sponsors who supported our efforts through the years, be it providing additional funds to donating products that our beneficiaries would be able to use.
6. The E&S Team
From 2017 to date, E&S has seen many changes and have been blessed with a REMARKABLE team whom through various seasons have blessed us with their time, efforts and talents. I want to make special mention to my amazing team through the years - Amy Kwek, Samantha Lau, Isabel Phua, Natalie Tan, and Joanna Wong. You have been instrumental in making this run for its full ministry.
And last but not least ...
All Glory to God for His endless love, wisdom and providence through this entire journey which I believe was to grow each one of us as well as to see his Glory and love fulfilled in our community.
We hope you have all had an amazing ride with us and we want to wish you all the best for your future endeavours! May our loving Father continue to love and bless you all as we close up our webstore with our final sale! Do support us!
LOVE,
Sarah
