Hi there! this site is still a bit of a mess, but it will evolve and change over time like all good things do.

SentimentSquared was created after a long stint in a hospital. It’s basis was rooted in the feeling of being alone, vunerable, in pain and the small thoughtful reminders of love from those who cared and what survived as a reminder of that time. Flowers and fluffy toys are the go to and there is a reason the sweet splashes of color and calming greenery or tactile plushies are popular. However the setting tends to be less than ideal if not outright hostile. We’ve identified some recovery setting challenges that we have created objects to help survive so they can continue to remind those important to you that you care.

Sourced Thoughtfully

Sourcing materials from local growers, businesses or op shops on the central coast or recycling and repurposing the old into new. Renewing value in the community and the people around us is important. It’s in every gift, sign, card, or terrarium we produce and if you want to know where we got it, this is where we keep track. So you can follow the story of thought and care that went into your gift along with us.

Made with intention

Here you can get to know the creators that feel up to sharing their stories with you. We do this for us as much as for you, as the act of creating is part of our toolkit for better health. We battle various health issues, mental, physical, chronic, it all takes its toll. Sharing where we are coming from to help build empathy and for those like us, show that you are not alone.

Adding a bit of good to the world

THE SCIENCE! okay so it’s not all feel good happy clappy and the world is better stuff. We’ve collected the studies we’ve been resourcing for this here and you can check them out down below. If you find an interesting study to add, please let us know via the contact us page. Warning though, medical jargon still sucks.
