About us

The Beginnings....
Hello, I am Nicola, the founder of The Thameside Gift Company, established in September 2025. We are based in Boulter’s Lock, a beautiful spot along the River Thames in Berkshire.
My journey into candle making began in 2022, after receiving a candle making box set for my birthday. That is how my passion for the craft was ignited (excuse the pun!) This then grew into crafting and selling a few candles to family, friends and neighbours for Christmas and other special occasions.
But, the Story doesn't end there....
I have always enjoyed visiting our local thriving local artisanal craft markets and have been pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the products on offer here. And, I have always relished in thoughtful gifting. So, this is where the idea was born - to create both a premium Home Fragrance company and a local Gift Box company all in one.
Most of our Gift Boxes contain one of more of our own handcrafted Home Fragrance products, which we make on site. We use premium fragrances and essential oils in all of our products and they are all vegan, cruelty-free and fully IFRA compliant.
Thoughtful local quality Gifting at your finger tips
All the main products we include in our gift boxes are produced by us and other small businesses within the Thames Valley region. They are sourced within a 20 mile radius of Boulter's Lock, hence the name 'The Thameside Gift Company'.
So, by buying any of our products or gift boxes, you are helping small local businesses like us to thrive and grow!
