Who We Are

Odette grew up in a family business for 25 years and from as early as the age of 8, she was serving and transacting with clients. Odette spent 10 years based in London when she lived, worked and traveled extensively. In London, she was trained by and worked for the best world class Investment Banks. On her return to South Africa she spent 4 years working for Sanlam as a Project Manager whilst she set up her first ecommerce platform in 2005. Celestial Gift Experiences ~ www.celestialgifts.co.za is Odette’s personal bucket list which she makes available for clients to purchase in the form of gift vouchers. Celestial Gifts is Odette’s successful passion project of 15 years and boasts a whopping 500% increase in turnover during a recession. She attributes her ongoing business success to discipline, consistency and making the right decisions at the right time. For the longest time, Odette could see a pressing need for an eCommerce Agency and so it was born during lock down 2020 when Celestial Gift Experiences went into hibernation.
