Market Harborough entrepreneur creates a new gifting business inspired by her love of surprising friends and family.
Market Harborough entrepreneur Hannah Bryce has launched Dopamine Drops, a new online gifting business inspired by her belief that the most meaningful presents are those that make people feel genuinely understood.
Bryce came up with the idea after struggling to find gifts that reflected the individual personalities, quirks and life experiences of her own friends and family.
Rather than creating another general gifting website, she wanted to build a collection around the occasions and emotions that people experience, from celebrating a new job or moving home to supporting someone through a breakup or a difficult period.
“I love sending my friends and family surprises, it makes their day and I believe the world would be a happier place if we sent each other more surprise gifts in the post. There’s plenty of generic gifting sites, but I wanted to create a collection that makes people feel seen, accepted and most of all, happy,” said Bryce.
Turning a Personal Passion into a Business
Founded in 2026, Dopamine Drops offers themed gift boxes, exclusive prints and cards designed around specific occasions and personality traits.
Bryce has developed 18 gift box collections, with themes ranging from birthdays and new beginnings to reassurance, strength and encouragement.
Each box combines an exclusive A5 print, vegan treats, a small gift and a card that can be personalised with a handwritten message. One example is the Reassurance Gift Box, which includes a ‘You’re Literally Doing Great’ print, a matching encouragement card, a rainbow pin, a crystal bracelet and sweets.
For Bryce, the idea is about more than the gifts themselves. She wants to encourage people to recognise the small moments when friends, family members or colleagues might benefit from an unexpected gesture.
“Receiving something unexpected – that isn’t a boring bill or annoying leaflet – gives an instant dopamine hit, and when the recipient realises how personal the gifts inside are – it’ll really make the difference to their day.”
The business currently offers gift boxes starting at £19.99, A5 prints for £7 and cards for £2. Products are vegan and cruelty free, with the majority designed and distributed in the UK.
Dopamine Drops is now available to customers across the UK, with free delivery on orders over £50.
