If you are anything like me, I bet that you have missed a special moment this year. It may have been a birthday, congratulations on a new job, or a simple thank you. Mine was my wedding anniversary!

The fact is you missed remembering that special event, but what you won’t forget so easily, or maybe even know, is the hurt caused by having done so. Well you need never worry about missing an event again, thanks to Katy Spragg and Hannah Liversidge and their new company Forget Me Not Shopping Forget Me Not Shopping will ensure that your friends and loved ones are never forgotten again and that you are always thanked for a beautiful gift, rather than being accused of not caring.

The idea for the business sprang up from a conversation Hannah and Katy were having over coffee in their new office. They had recently decided to share an office together to save costs and also help each other out when busy and being ladies the conversation turned to shopping and how stressful some people found shopping at Christmas. The chat moved on to cover most times of the year, then missed birthdays and anniversaries, and ended with the fact that men just didn’t like shopping at all (I could object here of course!). It was then that inspiration struck. A shopping service for busy people, not just for Christmas, but for all the year round, that always delivered the perfect gift.

Katy and Hannah provide an essential service to the busy executive, company owner who seems to spend seven days a week working, the just plain forgetful, and of course men! Plus people who never have time to shop, or those that just can’t stand shopping.

And, their service is just so simple. First they will talk to you by phone, or in person, to take down all the dates you want covered. It could be a one-off special event, such as a wedding, or a full diary for the year of birthday’s and anniversaries, adding special events as they become known. Then they will discuss the budget for each occasion, and ask for an idea of what each person that you are buying for likes; this way the presents chosen really are personal to the individual.

Forget Me Not Shopping are then equipped with a tailor made shopping list that matches both your personality and budget and they will always have a present at your finger tips when needed. A selection of gifts is suggested to you two weeks ahead of each event so that you can make the final choice and then the chosen gift is wrapped and delivered, with a card for signing.

So, why not let Katy and Hannah make you look good, while you just sit back and relax, and have a less stressed life?
