Michelle Bain's backyard project has evolved into a thriving small business, a testament to her passion and creativity. What began as a simple idea in her shed has now blossomed into 'Enlightened Hampers by MK', a venture that brings joy and sparkle to people's lives. This transformation is not just about turning everyday items into something special; it's about the magic and love that Michelle infuses into every hamper she creates.
A Passion for Bargains and Creativity
Michelle's journey started with a love for finding bargains and a desire to turn ordinary items into something extraordinary. She explains, "I have always loved finding amazing bargains and turning everyday items into something special. The thrill of the hunt, finding beautiful products at great prices, and then bringing them together with a touch of magic, including fairy lights and thoughtful presentation, is what makes it all so special." This passion for creativity and bargain hunting is what drives her business and sets it apart.
Building a Community Presence
To introduce her business to the wider community, Michelle held a stall on the deck at the Macquarie Club last weekend. "After living in Dubbo for over 20 years, many people know me from places like the Macquarie Club, Coles, and Bunnings. I’ve always been the person with the big smile, high energy, and a passion for life," she says. Her presence at these events is not just about selling hampers; it's about building a community and spreading joy and kindness.
A Business Built on Love and Care
Enlightened Hampers by MK is more than just a small business; it's a reflection of Michelle's personality and values. "Every hamper is created with love and care, whether it’s a pamper hamper, baby hamper, gift for a loved one, or something special just ‘because’," she says. This commitment to quality and personal touch is what sets her business apart and makes it so successful.

Michelle's dream is to grow Enlightened Hampers from a small backyard operation into a business that brings happiness to many more people.
