Friday Feature: Sayuri Varuthan owner of All In the Presents

Hello Lovies!

Its Friday!!! Which means its time for my weekly feature. This week I'm profiling Sayuri Varuthan, who started her own business called, All In The Presents. 

"My specialty is the Hot Air Balloon Gift Boxes but I cater for any of my customers needs."

As you all know, I normally only profile mompreneurs but when I heard Sayuris' story I felt compelled to support her and her small business. She might not be a mompreneur but she is definitely an entrepreneur, go-getter and an absolute delight in general. 

'All In The Presents' specialises in making gift boxes for all different occasions and the idea came about from receiving something similar for her 25th birthday!

Here's Sayuris' story:

In 2016 she did a Flight Attendant course and is currently a Flight Attendant for Mango Airlines, while also burning the midnight oil studying HR Management through UNISA. 

Given the ongoing situation within the Aviation industry and Mangos current status, she found herself at home with a lot of free time and starting her own business is something she'd always wanted to do. The only decision was, deciding exactly to start. 

"I actually saw these gift boxes on Facebook and Instagram and I always wanted one. On my 25th birthday, my Boyfriend’s aunt made me one filled with flowers and strawberries. I immediately thought that this might be very interesting to make, so for his cousin’s 21st birthday I made her one with all her favourite goodies. The idea sat with me for a few weeks and I debated with myself in those weeks and eventually I decided to give it a shot and open up my own small business. I loved the idea of creating something extraordinary and seeing the smiles on the faces of those who receive it. Having a gifting business allows those who live in other provinces to gift their loved ones with something special and meaningful. I mean everyone loves presents and loves to feel special."

Sayuri officially opened "All in the presents" on the 27 May 2021 and in just over 2 months has wowed clients with her amazing attention to detail and service levels.

"In the two months that I have been opened I have received an immense amount of support and I’m truly grateful for each and every customer who has supported my small business. Being young and a female in this world is challenging and seeing so many incredible women, young and old, starting their own businesses and putting themselves out there, was my biggest motive for starting this business. My goal for now is to continue to grow this business and make it into something bigger. I hope that I can inspire other women to take that leap of faith and start their business."

School holidays

It’s day 18 of what can only be described as a hostage situation…. Also known as “school holidays”. Day 1: This is wonderful! Almost a whole month with my two kids under 3. Day 2: Ok so the house has been destroyed by mini versions of myself but it’s ok, I’ll do a clean up twice a day. Day 3: TV time rules are now out the window. Day 4: Give out a few Christmas gifts early in exchange for 5 minutes of silence. Day 5: What the hell is that smell? Oh wait, that’s me…. Day 6: What day is it? Can I have a nap please. Day 7: Check in with fellow moms, I am not alone, everyone’s over the holidays now…. Day 8: I now understand why my mom used to send me to my aunts for school holidays.

Tips for First Time Moms....

******UPDATES IN PINK****** Labour pain : feels like the worst period pain you've ever had, lasts a while then goes away, comes back for a while goes away. Start timing the duration of the pain experienced and the time between when there's no pain. Water Breaking : Literally feels like a "pop", then instant release of pressure, followed by TONS of liquid, sit on the toilet and once you're ready to go to the hospital put a thick sanitary pad in your underwear. After birth : bath with salt in the water, it will burn but it will help the healing process. Also in case you don't already know, you'll continue bleeding for at least a month after birth. So stock up on pads. Don't  worry about stocking up on size1,2 & 3 diapers, you'll quickly move to size 4 and then 5, stock up on size 5.... believe me. Breastfeeding : I could only breastfeed both of my kids for 5 days. There's absolutely no shame in not being able to breastfeed. Some of us can...

Toddler won’t get out of PJs and into clothes for preschool? Here’s what I did…

Toddlers, toddlers, toddlers…. You can ‘prepare’ as much as you want for the inevitable craziness raising these tiny humans will entail and you may think you’re prepared, you’re not….. Like everyone else with kids I’ve watched literally every single episode of Super Nanny there is. So when my almost 3 year old son started refusing to get out of his PJs into “normal” clothes for preschool, I channeled my inner super nanny. I was like “ok then you’re going in your PJs”. Did this work? No, not one bit, every morning the same thing would happen and off he went to school in his PJs. So I chat to all my mom friends about this and everyone’s going maybe he has sensory issues, etc so I’m googling that and trying to figure out what that is and what I should do. Then I mention it to my one friend (who isn’t a mom…. Yet) and she said to me “Laura his PJs sound so cool! Glow in the dark Jurassic Park PJs, Spider man PJs, if I was him I also wouldn’t want to get into “normal” clothes to go to presc...
