About the Business
Determination to bring my family home after travelling and living away from my hometown Derry for 18 years is where the seeds of The Olive Tree Gift Boutique stem from. I knew that teaching posts were very thin on the ground and I also knew that one of the things I would miss most (should we relocate) would be the gorgeous boutiques that I loved to browse in, the solution was in the problem, create my own unique boutique and live the dream.
Choosing the right name for my gift boutique was very important to me. I took into consideration the obvious such as the choice of words, pronounciation of words, did they roll of the tongue and were they catchy? However, what was more important to me (being a teacher) with a degree in English Literature and a Masters in Education was the images the words might conjure up.
My boutique from the outset was going to be unique, represent my journey in life so far and my love for detail and simplicity in all things beautiful.
