Messy Minds

Messy Minds is Guernsey’s dedicated charm decorating studio and creative gift shop, founded by 21-year-old local entrepreneur. With a studio and retail space now open in the heart of St Peter Port at 3 Market Street, Messy Minds is a welcoming, colourful space where creativity, connection and fun come together.

The concept is simple but completely unique to the island: choose your base item, select your favourite charms and embellishments, and design a personalised piece using specialist decorative techniques. From phone cases and accessories to keepsakes and gifts, every item is made by you.

A creative space for everyone
Messy Minds has been designed to be inclusive, friendly and accessible for all ages. Whether you’re planning a creative afternoon with friends, looking for a unique activity with children, or organising a birthday party or group event, the studio offers a relaxed and supportive environment.

No artistic experience is needed. The decorating process is easy to follow, and guidance is always available from start to finish. Most sessions take between 30 minutes and two hours, depending on how detailed you’d like your design to be. The team at Messy Minds also host private parties, team-building sessions and tailored group bookings, making it a versatile option for celebrations, corporate events and special occasions.

Now open in town, plus curated gift ranges
In addition to the studio experience, Messy Minds now operates as a retail gift shop too. The shop stocks a growing collection of carefully selected gift ranges from popular brands and trending favourites, including Sanrio characters and capybara-themed accessories, alongside other collectible and creative items.

Whether you’re decorating in the studio or simply popping in to browse, the shop offers something for all ages, from statement pieces to smaller gifts and treats.

Supporting creativity and young entrepreneurship

Messy Minds was built from the ground up by a young local founder with a vision to create something new for the island. More than just a craft activity, it is a space that celebrates imagination, accessibility and confidence.

The business continues to grow with community events, seasonal workshops and collaborative projects, with a long-term goal of making creative experiences even more accessible for young people in Guernsey.
