Apart from her children one of her greatest achievements was being a serving front line Police officer. However has recently had to make the tough decision to be medically retired.
Since then she started creating a number of small personalised gifts and named the business after her two daughters – Violet Ivy Gifts.

Not only does this provide a source of income to a family of five but it also gives Lizzi that much needed normality, sense of purpose and something to strive for.
