About Maria

The Maker. The Bookworm. The Dragon’s Human.

Hello, I’m Maria—the heart, hands and slightly chaotic brain behind Macarons Manuscripts. I created this little bookish boutique because I believe books make life better, and beautifully packed happy mail makes it even better.

“Most days, I’m either making something, packing something, reading something—or looking for the thing I put down two minutes ago.”

The reason behind every parcel

Why Macarons Manuscripts?

Every bookmark, surprise bag and little extra is packed with one goal in mind—to make someone’s day a little brighter. I know how magical it feels to receive happy mail, especially when you’re a book lover. That’s why every parcel is packed as though it’s being sent to a friend.

💌 Thoughtful Details

From packaging to little extras, I want customers to feel that their order was prepared by a real person who genuinely cared about making them smile.

🐉 A Little Dragon Magic

Pip brings warmth, humour and personality to the shop. He helps turn Macarons Manuscripts into more than a place to buy things—it becomes a little storybook world.

📦 Small-Business Care

Every order supports an independent UK business. I pack parcels myself, design new ideas, answer messages and celebrate every lovely review and returning customer.

🌸 Cosy, Cute and Never Boring

I love soft colours, whimsical details and gifts that make readers laugh. The aim is always premium and magical—not bland, generic or overly serious.

I'm also a proud mummy to four wonderful home educated boys and a flock of mischievous parrots who certainly keep life interesting!

Pip Interrupts...

“Maria says she runs the shop... but we all know who the real boss is.”

Tea, books and questionable shelf space

My Reading Life

A few entirely sensible facts about the person behind the parcels.

☕ Favourite Reading Spot

Somewhere cosy, with a hot drink nearby and absolutely no intention of stopping after “just one more chapter.”

📚 Bookshop Behaviour

I cannot leave a bookshop empty-handed. Frankly, that would be rude to the books.

✨ Powered By

Books, creativity, happy mail, family chaos and the occasional heroic amount of caffeine.

🔖 Strongly Held Belief

There is no such thing as too many bookmarks. There are only books that still need matching ones.
