Uhooooo I'm Jojo from Creations4U. I create fun personalised gifts, for you, your family, your kids teacher, your granny and even your dog!     This all started when I had too much pandemic down time and my creativity just bubbled over. Continuously making items for friends and family as a graphic designer I had the skills and the know how to create these fun quirky personalised gifts, everyone was loving them and constantly telling me you should sell them, they're fab!  So for once I took their advice and did just that.   Starting with one or two personalised frames and look at me now, my side hussle is my day job and I love it. So lucky to be able to be part of peoples celebrations, it feels like a privilege. I'm always on the lookout for a fun new gift idea or tagline, so be careful if we're chatting....you could end up as my next product!     All my items are created by me, printed or made by me, packed by me and brought to the delivery depot....by me, I really am a one girl band so by supporting a small business like me you let one Dublin girl now living in Wicklow (yes I followed the fella!) live out her dream of being her own boss and creating lovely things.
