Fiona Hay

The Gift Patch creates handmade natural and organic soaps, skincare and candles for you to relax, revive and rejuvenate with. The Gift Patch is a small family owned and operated business that creates all or our products in small batches to ensure freshness, using the highest quality ingredients to ensure freshness. As a mother of five, The Gift Patch creator, Fiona Hay was looking for alternative products for her children, that had no harsh chemicals. Unhappy with the lack of suitable products, as a last resort, she decided to make her own.
In the summer of 2005 the first batch of soap was made, the first bottle of lotion was capped and The Gift Patch was created. With a lot of trial and error along the way and the support of family and many friends, Fiona ventured into creating other skincare products to include body butters, face and body scrubs/cleansers, hand moisturisers and body polishes which then led to supplying beauticians and hairdressers. All products from The Gift Patch are made with love and tested on humans.
