The Coco + May Story

Hi! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

I’m the maker (and heart) behind Coco & May, a small Australian business that’s all about thoughtful gifting, beautiful keepsakes, and celebrating the people we love most. I am a partner to Liam 16 years and going strong and Mother to 3, Cooper 15, Marli 13 and Will 3. 

After losing my beautiful mum to cancer in 2020, my world came crashing down. I was drowning. The grief was overwhelming, and the quiet moments when my kids were at school felt impossible to face. I had recently quit my 9–5 job because I was struggling with soul-destroying panic attacks — the kind that take the breath out of your body and leave you feeling like you’ll never be yourself again.

In the middle of all that pain, I was searching for something — anything — that would help me survive the day. Something to keep my hands busy and my heart gently tethered to hope. That’s when I began creating. At first, it was just small things to honour my mum’s memory and the love we shared. But slowly, those pieces became something more.

Coco & May was born from grief, but it has grown into something deeply joyful — a space where I get to create meaningful, personal gifts that bring light to others. Whether it’s a keepsake for a new baby, a plaque for Nan and Pop, or a fun pair of earrings to brighten your day, every piece is made with care, intention, and love.

As a mum myself, I understand how fast life moves and how important it is to celebrate the little moments — the everyday magic, the milestones, the people who matter most. That’s what Coco & May is really about: helping you hold onto the memories and make your own moments feel special.

Thank you for being here, and for supporting a small business with a big heart. It means more than I can say. I hope you find something that makes you smile x

Big Love, always
Founder, Chloe
