Meet the Team Behind Little Shop of Happiness
We’re the people behind Little Shop of Happiness an Australian gift hamper business created to make people smile, celebrate the good stuff and send a little happiness when words just aren’t enough.
What started with Amy and Liza has grown into a wonderful team working together from our Perth warehouse to create, pack and send feel-good gifts across Australia.
From birthdays and congratulations to thinking-of-you moments, thank-yous, new babies and everything in between, every gift is designed to make opening the box feel just as special as receiving it.
And if you want to turn the happiness up another level, many of our gift boxes can be upgraded with our signature Confetti Explosion for an unforgettable surprise.
Our Happy Little Team
Little Shop of Happiness is much more than just Amy and Liza.
Our amazing team helps bring thousands of gifts to life — from choosing products and creating new hampers to marketing, customer service, packing, stock and dispatch.
Amy P helps keep everything running smoothly as our Operations Manager, while Leesa, Esther, Caz and Shanelle are part of the team carefully packing and presenting our gifts.
Jaz and Audrey bring our marketing and creative ideas to life, Emily and Codie help look after our customers, and Jorja and Eva support stock and dispatch behind the scenes.
Every person plays a part in getting that little box of happiness from us to someone you care about — and we genuinely couldn’t do it without them.
Co-Founder
Amy Miller
Originally from England, I spent nine wonderful years living in Melbourne before moving to Perth in 2015, which is now very much home.
I’m a proud mum to Evan and Sia, along with our much-loved dog, Denis.
I’ve always loved health, wellness, good food, travel and creativity, although I’m a big believer in balance too — just as happy with a green juice as I am with a glass of red wine.
As a typical Pisces, my head is usually full of ideas, whether it’s something new for the business, a creative project, somewhere I want to travel or something I’ve decided we absolutely need to try.
I love surrounding myself with positive, inspiring people and feel incredibly lucky that Little Shop of Happiness has brought so many wonderful people into my life.
One of the things I’m most proud of is knowing that what we’ve created is all about making people feel good. I’m incredibly grateful for everything Liza and I have built together and for the amazing team that now helps bring Little Shop of Happiness to life every day.
Co-Founder
Liza Paterson
Originally from Scotland, I came to Australia in 2006 with my high school sweetheart, Shaun, and a group of friends. Australia quickly became home, and Shaun and I are now married with three kids, Oliver, Grace and Charlie, plus our much-loved Cavoodle, Rosie.
I’ve always loved colour, creativity and coming up with new ideas, which is probably why Little Shop of Happiness feels so naturally me. I studied graphic design and still love being involved in the creative side of the business — from new products and packaging to marketing ideas and dreaming up what we can do next.
Outside of work, I love podcasts, the beach, nature, travel, meditation, walking, health and wellness, and planning our next family adventure. I’m happiest when I have something exciting to look forward to, whether it’s a trip, a new business idea or another project I’ve decided we absolutely need to do.
Gratitude and kindness are a huge part of how I try to live. I want my kids to grow up appreciating the little things, finding what makes them happy and having the confidence to dream big.
One of the things I love most about Little Shop of Happiness is that every day we get to help people make someone else feel loved, thought of and special. I’m incredibly proud of what Amy and I have built together and of the amazing team that now helps us bring happiness to people all over Australia.
