All about i candy - and find your local store
Hi. I am Lisa Hamilton-Gibbs and I would like to tell you about i candy.
In the year 2000, feeling like a creative 'square peg' in a corporate 'round hole' I had hit rock bottom. I approached a few stores with some handmade cards I had been working on and discovered that they were a bit of a hit. i candy was born!
Now 20 years on, i candy has evolved substantially but the original purpose behind the brand remains - to spread love by sending powerful messages with clean minimalist images out into the world.
I am passionate about living this one precious life to the fullest and I feel privileged to call i candy my first child. She has taught me some of the biggest lessons and provided me with an outlet for my creativity.
The i candy range is an expression of my life. As I have navigated my way through many ups and downs, loves and losses I have documented my experiences along the way. And because we are all on this crazy journey together - my experiences are your experiences. I have a card for every occasion (or maybe a few!).
We are 100% NZ made and our cards and protective sleeves are fully recyclable.
i candy brings you an extensive selection of NZ made greeting cards, gifts and prints, and a beautiful children’s book Who said Kiwis can’t fly?
Our designs are constantly changing, and new concepts continually being developed, so please come back to visit regularly. If you have friends you think will enjoy i candy, you can share the love on Facebook – and you can follow us on Instagram too. Now step on inside our online store and check out the i candy!
