Background Giving & Living, founded in 2001 by Maria With Feldman. First as a retail business, and since 2003 also wholesale. In 2005 we opened our webshop with direct sales to private customers.
Took the leap to a new career After 12 years in international sales and marketing, in industries such as biomedical engineering, advertising and design furniture, In the spring of 2001 I resigned from my regular job as Business Manager. Instead I leaped into starting my own business in the areas that I am really passionate about: good handicraft and timeless interior design with edge and soul.
Holiday Travel showed the way The newfound freedom I first used for a long journey with my family in India, Thailand and Nepal. During this trip we saw many beautiful products that I was surprised not to find on the Danish market. It was therefore natural that it was these products I started from when I established Giving & Living. Today I have built a network of suppliers from many parts of the Third World.
Giving & Living - a universal message The name Giving & Living, I chose because it just hits what I consider essential for a good life, "giving is living". Without wanting to be too sacred, it stands for me as a universal message that gives positive associations, regardless of culture, religions and national boundaries. At the same time it express what my business is all about: gifts, interiors and lifestyle.
We bring the world home We still travel around the world to find new products and new inspiration. Thus you can be assured of always finding unique things from Giving & Living.
We also note with pleasure your special wishes and ideas, please let us know. We will keep trying in every way to provide a high grade and personal customer service.
