The VivaSynch brand was born one foggy evening by an open fire in the Derbyshire countryside. My name is Tara and I am the Founder of VivaSynch. That particular evening I was talking to my Ultra-Marathon-Runner boyfriend about how long it takes to find really good products for sporty, outdoorsy and wellbeing orientated lifestyles. Products that also fit a planet conscious ethos. Checking out new products, making sure they are ethical and protect the outdoor spaces we love while getting great design, functionality and value for money takes time. Time that busy people don't have. So, starting with a small collection of my own tried-and-tested favourites, I launched VivaSynch to help people get a better life balance, and, fantastic useful, great-to-use products. Our product offering grows every week! VivaSynch pre-designed and bespoke gift boxes are hugely popular and perfect for any occasion from birthdays, to weddings to corporate and welcome gifts. VivaSynch only chooses products that: • are ethically sourced and produced • are cruelty free • are from independent suppliers • are as natural as possible, organic where available, recyclable, compostable, recycled or biodegradable • have amazing functionality • are great quality Additionally all of the packaging used by VivaSynch is environmentally friendly, right down to the paper packing tape. Growing up in the Peak District gave me a deep appreciation of the great outdoors, and made me a natural hiker. I have been lucky enough to live in North Wales, Somerset and now Essex where I maintain my outdoor lifestyle with my dog in tow (quite literally in his dinghy behind my kayak).
