Goose & Pebble began when its founder, Melissa designed her own wedding invitations, with the intention of creating something handmade and meaningful for her guests. What started as a passion project soon evolved into a joyful brand built on playful creativity, meaningful moments, and thoughtful gifting.
Together with her husband, Melissa dreamed up the World’s First Smart Fortune Cookie™, a whimsical creation that blends playful nostalgia with modern magic. Each cookie is hand-sculpted from clay in their Sydney home studio, lightly scented, and reveals a personalised digital fortune when scanned with a smartphone. No apps. No charging. Just a small moment that brings pure joy and delight.
The idea came to life during a quiet day off in the haze of early parenthood - one of those rare, slow moments where creativity had space to appear. Melissa knew instantly the concept was something golden. After 16 failed attempts, the first working prototype was born, and with it, a new kind of gift experience.
Since launching, the Smart Fortune Cookie™ has found a growing audience of curious minds, sentimental hearts, and thoughtful gift-givers. Whether shared as a keepsake, a techy treat, or a small moment of encouragement, these cookies offer something rare: a gift that feels surprising, personal, and full of delight.
Alongside the cookies, Goose & Pebble also offers a small collection of handmade stationery goods, from charming notepads to illustrated stickers. These everyday pieces are designed to bring beauty and whimsy to your daily rituals, little reminders that joy lives in the details.
Today, Goose & Pebble continues to grow as a proudly small and independent studio, creating thoughtfully-designed gifts for those who value craftsmanship, creativity, and a touch of everyday magic.
