When you’re rushing through the mayhem of life it is sometimes hard to stop and consider what someone would actually want as a gift. New mum. Flowers. Tick. Mother-in-law Birthday. Flowers. Tick. Best friend’s heart break. Flowers. Tick. But Steph Douglas, the founder of the alternative gift company Don’t Buy Her Flowers has another idea – gifts that require no effort but that produce a little pocket of TLC. In this episode Steph tells the story of how life can get in the way of connecting properly to those around us. She set up her company to help those connections go a bit deeper through thoughtful gifts that people actually want. She gives tips on the best thing to say to a new mum (“you must be shattered” doesn’t cut it), advises you not knock the day job (having a salary and colleagues to chew the cud with shouldn’t be underestimated) and how it’s ok to lower your domestic standards to get just get on with life!

Steph Douglas launched her gifting business in 2014. She was a new mum and inundated with floral bouquets that she didn't have time to care for so her alternative gift box company, 'Don't Buy Her Flowers', was born. Steph has grown the business from her spare room to a warehouse filled with staff. She talks frankly about how she's built the company, why five year plans are not for her and how she has grown without investment.  

Annabel Rivkin and Emilie McMeekan, authors of the best-selling book I’m Absolutely Fine!, are now here weekly. This week we are rifling through the emotional knicker drawer and talking house moves, growing businesses and seizing every napportunity with Steph Douglas, founder of Don't Buy Her Flowers.

“The first couple of years in business were really tough, and there's no end, just chasing the I'm never going to be done and feeling so anxious and so stressed by it all. I think a lot of women of our generation are just adding things into our to do list. So now I'm going to run a business and now I'm going to have children and now I'm going to write a book or and we're not taking anything out. And at the same time a lot of us are trying to emulate our mothers by being the good friend, the good wife, the good sister, the good mother. I just think it's prime for disaster” Steph Douglas In this episode I talked to Steph Douglas, founder of alternative online gift company Don’t Buy Her Flowers. Steph used to be in the world of marketing and advertising, from working in PR for a government department all the way to being a Marketing Manager for EDF Energy and running their London 2012 Olympic Sponsorship. BUT one day she decided to leave it all behind and follow her dream – setting up her own company called Don't Buy Her Flowers. It all started from an idea she had after having her first son, when everyone bought her flowers. She had gone through what was a demanding 9 months where not only was she pregnant with her first child, but her husband was diagnosed with cancer. So, when the doorbell kept ringing with flowers she thought it wasn’t really the most appropriate thing to give a new mum – something else to look after! She was feeling extremely overwhelmed at the time and thought there must be a way of giving more thoughtful gifts. Firstly, she started a blog to build her audience before roping in family members to help run the business, it's now going from strength to strength. What I loved about this episode is that we really got deep and personal. We talked about the importance of talking about emotions and empathy and doing that through thoughtful presents. Unfortunately, we live in a societ where we don't talk enough about how we feel, and we do not know how to be there for people. And of course, we talked about the more business side of things including what it is like being an entrepreneur starting on your own and the kind of fears that come with it. And you'll see we laugh a lot, and there is just so much that you can learn from her story. #dontbuyherflowers #stepdouglas #femaleentrepreneur #onlinegifts

Having a Business - with Don't Buy Her Flowers founder Steph Douglas Freaking the F*ck Out is a podcast where Kelsey Bennett and Maddy Scott examine the inner workings of their anxious minds.  Covering everything from the minute to the very big and life changing, they’re not mental health professionals but they do happen to have some experience in the field. When Steph had her first baby she received 8 bunches of flowers...which she just didn't know what to do with.  This slightly overwhelmed feeling led to the discovery that there wasn't much of an alternative when it came to gifts for new mums.  So, she created one.  Don't Buy Her Flowers is a thoughtful gift company, where you can send the new mum in your life to a real treat.  It's also expanded to packages for birthdays, get well, thank you, bereavement and any occasion where you might want to send something thoughtful.  We talk all things new business, taking the plunge and going your own way.
