About Poppy & Daisy Designs

Poppy & Daisy Designs are on a mission is to reduce plastic toys in landfill, whilst surprising and delighting children as they open our beautiful eco gifts. They aim to inspire children to get hands-on and creative with natural materials.

Helen is the creator of Poppy & Daisy Designs; a Brit from the sunny UK, married to an Aussie who she met during my working holiday in Oz. Fast forward 13 years and she's still here and they have 2 little Aussies (complete with Aussie accents, but she makes them pronounce their T’s) called Poppy and Daisy, now 6 and 8!

Helen had a light bulb moment for eco-conscious gifts after hosting Poppy and Daisy’s birthday parties last year. She was overwhelmed with plastic gifts piled up in their lounge room, and it was so obvious – we need sustainable options for gifting.

She got thinking about the alternatives on the market for 5 to 12 year-olds and her mind went blank, other than crafts. She also cast her mind back to  her childhood and realised it involved a lot less plastic, less technology and a lot more hands-on creativity, and imaginative nature play with our families enjoying the experience together. She wanted to create similar experiences for Poppy, Daisy and other children – to inspire little creative minds.
