We are two super close sisters both trying to turn our passion for handmade and all things art into a reality. It all began the day I popped one of my handmade crochet octopus's into my mom's shop to see what would happen. That little octopus was discovered in 10 minutes by a little kid who loved it so much she convinced her mom to buy it.
Seeing the smile on the little girl's face made me realise that my creations could go so much further than just bringing me enjoyment, it could bring others enjoyment too.

And that's when the little ikigai was born. Ikigai is the Japanese philosophy that we all have a reason to live, and is all about living a life filled with purpose and joy. Hence lightbulb moment because what better name for a business built off of wanting to bring a small bit of purpose and joy to the everyday? A little daily ikigai.

Our goal is to help people of all ages find a little ikigai in the everyday. If our products can make a positive impact in someone's life, whether that be a smile or a laugh, then we've done our job.

We hope you find your ikigai with us,
