Our Story

Made for Little Moments.
Treasured Forever.

Every keepsake tells a story. We believe the smallest moments often become the memories you will treasure for a lifetime.

Meet the maker

Hi, I’m Kirsten.

Little Love Keepsakes began with a simple passion for creating meaningful, personalised gifts for the people closest to me.

Over the years, I handcrafted keepsakes, nursery décor and baby mobiles for friends and family. Seeing how much joy each creation brought encouraged me to share them with more families and turn my passion into a business.

What started as a love for art and handmade gifts has grown into Little Love Keepsakes—a small South African business creating personalised keepsakes for babies, children and growing families.

Every piece is still lovingly handmade by me in Hillcrest, KwaZulu-Natal, with the same care, creativity and attention to detail that inspired those very first gifts.
