About Us - Meet the Maker Behind Handmade Galore
Unique handmade gifts, made with love and a little bit of personality
Hello and welcome to Handmade Galore! I'm Sophie, the founder, creator and the person behind all the handmade loveliness you'll find here.
Based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, Handmade Galore was born from my love of finding something a little different. I wanted to discover beautiful, quirky and unusual gifts that stood out from the crowd without costing a fortune. When I struggled to find what I was looking for, I decided to create it myself!
And that's how Handmade Galore began — with a passion for creativity, a love of unique designs and a desire to make lovely things that bring a little happiness to everyday life.
A Little Bit About What I Do
At Handmade Galore, I create a growing collection of handmade goodies, from colourful jewellery and hand-painted glassware to gorgeous candles and scented soy wax melts.
Every piece has its own personality, whether it's a fun pair of statement earrings, a beautifully decorated glass or a deliciously scented candle to make your home feel extra cosy.
I love experimenting with new ideas, discovering fun designs and creating pieces that make people smile. There's always something new to explore, and I'm continually working on fresh designs to add to the collection.
Why Handmade Galore?
I believe shopping for something special should be exciting, personal and affordable.
Whether you're treating yourself, searching for a birthday present, celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a little pick-me-up, I want you to find something that feels just right.
Made with care
I hand-paint my glassware and create my own range of handmade products.

A small business with a personal touch
When you shop with me, you're supporting an independent maker who genuinely loves what she does.
Shop Small, Support Handmade
As a small independent business, every order, every kind word and every recommendation means so much to me.
When you choose Handmade Galore, you're supporting my creativity and helping my little business continue to grow. I love knowing that something I've made might become someone's favourite gift, a special keepsake or simply a little something that brightens their day.
You can also find me at selected local markets and events around Suffolk, including the Bury St Edmunds Makers Market. I always love meeting customers in person, chatting about my creations and hearing what you think.
