Why I'm in the Venus Network

I decided to become a Venus Network member because I liked what I saw at the Christchurch Launch in early 2020. I believe being part of the Venus Networking Group will help me to grow my business, learning from the many resources Venus has available to its members. This along with connecting with other strong business Women in New Zealand.

Hi Dianne,
Just wanted to let you know that my clients were over the moon with their gift baskets.
I had them in at work for a couple of days and had many comments on how fabulous they looked so I have passed out a couple of cards.
I won’t be going anywhere else for my gift baskets that’s for sure.
Thanks

Hi Dianne
We were very impressed with the gift baskets we brought from Flax Gifts of Distinction. We have very important Clients that we needed them for and they were the perfect gift. The amount of time and effort you put into the presentation of the baskets and also the quality and beautiful local products that were used were just delightful. They were definitely value for money and something just a little bit special. We will continue to use Flax, many thanks for providing us with such special and unique gifts.
Kind Regards

Thanks so much for your help Di, It was lovely dealing with you, wonderful to find someone who can personalise a gift and help you stay in budget too.
Love that you also sent a picture of what I was sending, so I could see the present before I sent it.
I can tell you have been in business for a while – and successful at it. You are now my preferred gift supplier in Christchurch!
Wonderful, friendly, efficient service. Many thanks for making giving a breeze!

I have been using Flax gifts over the past year and have greatly appreciated the attention to detail, wise advice and personal touch that is provided by Di when she puts together our gifts. Flax gifts are quality, and Di herself is creative and has always acted with efficiency and in a professional manner. I would highly recommend Flax Gifts to anyone needing the services of a personal and corporate gift provider.

... an email from a client ....
Can I just say to the group, In the wake of such a tragedy for some of our group members I really wanted to share my experience of amazing service from one member and hope that you can pass this on .........
I had ordered two baskets from Dianne at Flax to send to two of my clients on Friday and have been astounded with the amazing service and dedication to excellence.
Not only was Dianne helping family during this stressful time, she was also methodically putting together beautiful baskets for her clients! Both my clients received their gifts today, they were so grateful and really appreciated the care and attention to detail. One of them was almost in tears when she rang to say thank you.
So heres to you Dianne, you are an amazing dedicated business woman.
Take care

My point of difference

We believe no two gifts are the same – nor should they be. We create beautiful bespoke gifts for our clients. We pride ourselves in using predominantly NZ made products with a focus on quality local Canterbury products. Since 2004 ...we've said "we love local". Since Covid ... we've said "we love local - you can too"
