A balanced home is a Happy Home

A balanced home is a Happy Home

From across the channel, Happy Home offers a range of inexpensive, unique gift ideas designed to put a smile on the face of even the hardest to please.

Since creating their small online shop in January 2010, Parisians Audrey Kissel and Alexis Oudin have filled a much-needed niche in the decorative paper market. Kissel and Oudin aim to offer imported goods sourced from all over the world. From east to west, this store offers a wide assortment, and there is definitely something for everyone, young or old.

In order to make any home a Happy Home, choose from adhesive fabrics, paper items, magazines from across the globe, post cards, kitsch patterned masking tape, wallets and decorative gift packaging to name but a few. Happy Home is worth a look and helps to make every gift that little more special.

There is something nostalgic about this online boutique, predominantly selling paper wrappings with a cute twist, but it doesn’t stop there. A small selection of gift ideas is also presented, from fabric shopping bags to handcrafted leather iPhone holsters. For that friend or relative who already has everything, Happy Home will undoubtedly inspire you.

Essentially, this store is everything it says on the tin, an online boutique providing a 21st-century twist on decorative wrappings and gift ideas. Reminiscent of ‘brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favourite things.’ It proves that good things unquestionably do come in little packages.
