All about Gifting – Even though our lives are incredibly busy these days, we still love to be thoughtful and unique for those extra special occasions. As well as our Shop, brim-full of thoughtful presents, Cuando features a Blog which includes gifting tips from other Cuando customers, and ideas about free things you can do to mark a special occasion.  Cuando also has a Personal Shopper Service where you can let us know what the occasion is and who it is for, and we will reach out to our Cuando Creators to find you the perfect one-of-a-kind gift.

A Note from Founder, Karen Naidoo

The idea for Cuando came about when I was asked to be a Godmother to my beautiful goddaughter Matilda. Intent on finding an extra special christening gift but working long hours in the digital media world, I had no time to visit shops or craft fairs. I spent my commutes to and from work scrolling through thousands of bespoke gift options on various websites only to find that the item I selected didn’t ship to Ireland, or if it did then the shipping fee was enormous! I knew people in Ireland were making wonderful things but I couldn’t find and buy them – as I needed to – at the tap of a phone. My background (13+ years in digital media) spurred me on to create a solution to this.

So Cuando is essentially about two things: Making beautiful, thoughtful and unique gifts easy to find and easy to buy, and supporting creative people all over Ireland.

Thank you for reading, and I hope that you enjoy browsing the website and that you find something for your special occasion.
