We owe you a story, or maybe a year's worth

It’s been a while, kan? So here’s a little catch-up on everything that happened while we were busy living, learning and collecting stories we can’t wait to share with you.

Where Did the Time Go?

We blinked.
Like, literally just pejam and celik, and somehow an entire year went by.

You know that feeling when life gets so wonderfully busy that you keep telling yourself:

“I’ll update the blog next week.”

Then next week becomes next month.
And before you know it…
A whole year has quietly slipped past.

Oops.

But here’s the thing.

We weren’t gone. Kitorang ada je ni haa…simply living the stories before I had the chance to write them.

Over the past year, we’ve travelled across countries, welcomed our very first jemaah Umrah (yes, you heard right! We bawa orang pergi UMRAH, in case you didn’t know!), launched collections that have become some of your favourites, celebrated our TENTH year (can you believe it?), met thousands of you at our raya pop ups, wrapped countless telekung gifts, laughed through photoshoots, survived late nights, celebrated milestones, and created memories we never want to forget.

Somewhere between all of that…

The blog had to wait.
Until today.

So instead of pretending none of it happened, we’re going to do something much better.
Over the next few weeks, I will be opening the journal again (OUR journal, in fact!) — tapi one story at a time ye. Sis cannot handle banyak2 :D

  • The behind-the-scenes.

  • The journeys.

  • The lessons.

  • The celebrations.

  • The moments you saw.

  • And the moments you never did.

Because every campaign had a story.

Every collection had a beginning.

Every journey changed us a little. For the better, I hope.

And I think they’re worth telling.

Welcome back to The Gifting Journal.

I’ve missed this. We’ve missed this. And I hope you’ve missed this too!
