About us
LSOA Direct is more than a gift shop. We’re a mother and daughter team building a long-
lasting business from a kitchen-table idea. We choose thoughtful, fairly priced gifts
for every event and occasion, so you never have to settle for a that-will-do present.
Some pieces are handmade, some can be personalised, all are picked with care so
the person you’re buying for feels genuinely considered when they open it.
Our name is a nod to two loves in our family. Catherine’s love of musical theatre, and Shelley’s fond memories of sharing liquorice allsorts with her mum.
Little Shop of Allsorts became LSOA Direct, and the aim stayed the same. Keep it personal without
the palava. We split the work, that's how we are wired.
Catherine leads the creative. Shelley keeps us organised and practical. Different strengths, same vision, and a shared promise to keep improving as we grow.
Our Products
At LSOA Direct we believe that the best gifts are more than just objects, they are expressions of love, gratitude and celebration.
We aim to source and stock gifts that ensure the receiver genuinely knows you have thought about them personally when buying the gift, giving them a feeling of appreciation, creating a memory for life.
That’s why our collections bring together a thoughtful mix of carefully sourced products, unique handmade treasures and personalised gifts designed to make every moment memorable.
From Birthdays and weddings to seasonal celebrations or “just because” surprises, our range is designed to suit every event and occasion. Whether you are looking for something lovingly handmade, a one of a kind personalised keepsake, or a handpicked piece from trusted third-party creators,
you’ll find it here.
We take pride in offering gifts that go beyond the ordinary, items that spark joy, create connections, and leave lasting impressions.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple, to provide thoughtful, beautiful and interesting gifts that are different from other shops, without breaking the bank.
We want to fill in the gaps of the market and stop the panic of "when it's gone it's gone"
No matter what event or occasion you are shopping for, we aim to help you find the perfect gift.
