Our Story
Like most good anecdotes, the story of House of Zizi begins when two young girls met at a boarding school. They had different personalities and yet got along like a house on fire. They spent many years studying in the same city and talking about their dreams. But the common interest that brought Ayushi and Richa together once again in their adult life, was the strong drive to revive handmade crafts and uplift the local artisans. This urge sparked the idea of a startup that would support the cause that they both believed in. With a natural flair for aesthetics, and a passion to bring joy to children, both Richa and Ayushi started Zizi gifts. A company that had the most appealing child-safe wooden toys in the market. Looking at the beauty, quality and durability of these toys, customers began requesting for Montessori inspired products. After extensive research and inputs from experts in the field, Zizi gifts evolved to become House of Zizi. The only Montessori inspired toys company in India where the products are both handcrafted and customisable.
Today reaching new homes and happy customers every day, House of Zizi is determined to stay consistent in their promise of upliftment and help children smile ear-to-ear in the process through their toxin free, sustainable and carefully curated Montessori products.
