How did we get here?
Michelle, our founder, is a busy mum herself! In fact it was the frustration of writing sticky labels on her kids’ water bottles again and again that made Michelle look for a more effective way to name them - and Personalised Bottle Bands were born. A stylish solution product - and a very successful one!
With two children in primary school, Michelle has first hand experience of the trials and tribulations of kids’ products, and also the frustrations of trying to minimise the mess that children can make while eating and drinking! She wanted to provide personalised products to calm the chaos, to tempt tiny tots and to make life a little easier for mums with young children!
Michelle is very conscious that parents want their kids to use products that are child-safe, chemical free, easy to clean and kind to the environment. After researching materials, she decided upon silicone with its non toxic, tactile qualities and its durable nature. To this she added stainless steel, with its environmentally friendly reputation. Both can be recycled and PKS offer specialist recycling for all of their products - all you have to do is return used items.
An initial venture was started which then grew into Minaym, with a wider range of products including kids’ cutlery. Michelle used her professional background in insurance and her innate sense of style to push the company forwards from a small mum-run start up to a blossoming company selling a growing range of personalised kids’ products. Bottle Bands and Personalised Kids’ Cutlery have received well deserved awards - take a look at our product pages to checkout these accolades.
