Isla & Who?
Hey there, I'm Shaz, the face behind Isla & Boe. A few years ago, I embarked on an unexpected journey into the world of entrepreneurship, armed with nothing but a heartfelt mission and a burning passion to make a difference in people's lives.
With 12 years of service as an ex-soldier, I never imagined myself diving headfirst into the realm of business. But life has a funny way of leading us down unexpected paths, and it was my own personal experiences that ultimately shaped the course of my journey.
In the midst of life's trials and tribulations, I encountered a profound moment of kindness that changed everything. After tragically losing my daughter, who was the twin sister of my 5-year-old, at just 18 days old, a compassionate nurse bestowed upon me a simple yet profound gift – a memory book.
In that moment, I realised the immense power of memories and the comfort they bring during life's most challenging moments. Inspired by this act of kindness, I felt compelled to share the gift of heartfelt sentiments with others, igniting the spark that would eventually lead to the birth of Isla & Boe
Driven by a deep understanding of the struggles of motherhood and a desire to spread love and positivity, I set out to create a business that would offer more than just products – it would offer moments of connection, solace, and joy in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming.
And so, armed with a humble mission and an unwavering commitment to making a difference, Isla & Boe was born. Join me on this heartfelt journey as we celebrate the power of memories, the beauty of motherhood, and the simple joy of making someone's day a little brighter.
Together, let's spread love, create memories, and make every moment count.
Warm regards,
Shaz xx

Just received today and absolutely love it! It's just as described and customer service was too notch! Nothing was a problem at all and they were able to add the picture I wanted on the front. Cant wait to fill it up with photos and messages from family & friends for the husbands 40th birthday in April
Beautiful Halloween Memory book, fab idea, and brilliant communication from Isa and Bo over colour and sizing of book, great customer service and delivered book earlier then expected, would definitely recommend 😊
Quality of item is gorgeous. Matched description perfectly and would recommend this note pad. It’s sturdy and looks good and feels good. As far as note pads go, this is the pretty high end.
Delivery was a bit slower than what I’m used to but the note pad was worth the wait.
