Hi, my name is Jennifer Payne, owner and operator of

Crat-ive Gifts. 

​

The last few years have definitely made an impact on all of us!  My life, as a result, has taken an unexpected turn for the better.  I never pictured myself owning a business or having any goals to become an entrepreneur but one day I got a creative idea and then, that’s all I could think about. After numerous sleepless nights, and having so many ideas running through my head, I finally took the plunge and started my business, Crat-ive Gifts.  

​

With the pandemic, society changed as a whole and priorities were adjusted.  There have been a lot of positives to pull from those struggling times.  Consumers have a huge focus on shopping locally, they want to repurpose what they buy and people are always looking for convenience.

​

My other goal was to put smiles on faces.  It may sound corny but I really want to feel good about what I do every day.  

​

Putting this business together has been fun, exhausting and worth it!  I love becoming a local business that supports other local businesses. We like to think that these gifts embody the passion shared by us and other local businesses here in Newfoundland.
