When we started Mochi & Maple, the idea was simple.
Find fun, affordable gifts that make people smile.
The kind of little things you spot on a shelf, pick up without thinking, and suddenly realise you absolutely need. Desk companions, stocking fillers, birthday extras, or small “just because” gifts.
That part hasn’t changed.
But as Mochi & Maple has grown, something interesting has happened.
More and more people have been getting in touch asking if they can sell Mochi & Maple products too.
Some run independent gift shops, farm shops or garden centres.
Some sell at markets and pop-up stalls.
And some are simply looking for a small side hustle selling gifts to friends, online or at local events.
So we thought… why not make that easier?
Retail First — But Now Open to Sellers Too
Mochi & Maple will always be a place where you can shop directly for fun gifts online.
But we’re now also opening things up to independent retailers and individuals who want to sell our products too.
If you run a gift shop, lifestyle store, market stall or pop-up, you can now stock Mochi & Maple products with simple trade pricing.
And if you’re someone looking to start a small gift side hustle, you can start small and build from there.
No complicated ordering systems.
No huge commitments.
Just colourful gifts that people enjoy picking up.
Supporting Independent Retail
Independent shops bring personality to the high street.
They’re the places where you walk in for one thing and walk out with three little gifts you didn’t even know you needed.
We love seeing Mochi & Maple products appear in independent gift shops and local retailers across the UK.
By working with smaller shops and sellers, our products can reach communities and customers we’d never reach on our own.
Starting a Gift Side Hustle
Over the past few years, more people have been looking for simple side hustles that can fit around work, family or other businesses.
Selling small gifts can be a great place to start.
Whether you sell:
-
at local markets
-
through social media
-
alongside another small business
-
or simply within your local community
fun, affordable gifts are often an easy way to begin.
That’s why Mochi & Maple works well for side hustlers as well as shops — you can start small, try products and grow at your own pace.
Keeping Things Simple
We’ve designed our seller option to work for small businesses and individuals, not just large retailers.
Start small.
Choose what works for you.
Grow when you're ready.
Whether you're running a busy independent shop, a market stall, or a small side hustle, the goal is the same:
fun gifts that make people smile.

More fun little gifts out in the world.
