The story behind Surprises & Smiles

Surprises & Smiles is a little pot of sunshine. It has been founded by 10 year old Ruby Chapman Redwood, who one day, decided she wanted to start a business to earn more pocket money! But what to do??.… Well, it was simply really - a small shop selling hair accessories, stationary and all the lovely sparkly things she wants to buy - Surprises & Smiles of Shropshire was born!


Once Ruby realised she had to sell the stock she had purchased and not keep hold of all of the handbags, purses, hair accessories, fairy wings, sparkly pencil cases and bookmarks ….. the discussions around product testing were intense….. Ruby opened this little online shop so she can spread the joy of finding the best hairband ‘ever!’ at a price which won’t break everyone’s piggy bank. This is all about Smiles of course! For those of you at Old Hall School, friends and family - we offer a free delivery service too. That will always come with a Smile!

Providing products that Ruby loves is what the business is all about. ‘Smile and the whole world smiles with you’…. If you are on the hunt for a glittertastic hair bow, a terrific temporary tattoo for the next festival, a show stopping handbag and purse for your next party, bright hair accessories, crazy craft supplies, sparkly school stationary or funtastic fashion then Surprises & Smiles is for you.... There’s a lot to choose from at Surprises & Smiles. Ruby (and her mum) love to shop and the web site gets bigger each day with all the gorgeous purchases. All the products are of course chosen to Surprise their new owner and generate a HUGE Smile. 


If you need a birthday present for your bestie, gifts for kids or a gift just to make yourself Smile - Surprises & Smiles are here to help. From young children through to teens and hairband loving adults too - the online store has a gift to suit all ages and budgets. 


Every order from the smallest badge to a pair of fairy wings is packaged with care and love by Ruby, using recycled packaging as much as she possibly can. Ruby has included hints and tips on the product pages to show how each items packaging can be reused and how each item can be up-cycled - because this is important. 


In addition for those of you living in Shropshire, Ruby (her family and her lovely friend Elliana) will be taking all these gorgeous hair bands, hair clips, pencil cases, handbags, badges and seasonal items to local craft fairs. Come and have a look at what Surprises & Smiles have to make you smile! The details of where Surprises & Smiles will be popping up can be found on our events page.
