Welcome

Perfectly imperfect, nature made gifts

Sam’s, beautifully decorated pebbles have become the perfect gift for any occasion. A pebble is a deeply spiritual symbol. By the time Sam has located the pebble it has lived for eons, being shaped by geographic forces and smoothed by the forces of nature, most particularly, water. It is a visual reminder that we are shaped by the journey of life. Sam is a pleasure to work with. Nothing is too much trouble for her. Pebbling is not just a work of art for her. It is a work of heart.

The heart behind the pebbles

At Pocket Pebbles, we believe that something small can make a big difference — a thoughtful smile, a kind word, a hand-painted stone — can lift a mood or brighten a day.

Every piece is painted with intention and care. Our work is guided by the desire to inspire calm, connection, and meaning — to create something that feels personal.

When you hold a Pocket Pebble, you’re holding a little piece of art.

Give something perfectly imperfect.

From corporate gifts to personal keepsakes, these miniature works of art bring meaning to moments — handmade in South Africa with heart and intention.

bulb to indicate the idea behind Pocket Pebbles, why we started

Pocket Pebbles began as a simple idea: that even the smallest object can carry meaning. What started as a few hand-painted stones has grown into a heartfelt practice of creating art that uplifts and connects people across the world.

Every stone is collected with care and chosen for its natural character — smooth, rough, light, or dark. No two are ever the same. Each one carries its own quiet story, transformed by color, message, and intention into something uniquely personal.

Our values are simple: authenticity, care, and connection. We believe in slowing down, in making things that last, and in reminding people that joy often hides in the smallest details.

Pocket Pebbles are much more than gifts — they’re gentle messengers of encouragement, crafted with empathy and a touch of magic.

Small works of Heart

Every Pocket Pebble tells its own story. Some carry words of encouragement, others a moment of stillness, a spark of joy, or a gentle reminder that you are enough.

Each one is hand-painted, sealed for durability, and created with care — a small work of heart meant to travel wherever life takes you. Whether you’re choosing a gift for someone special or something to keep close as a daily reminder, every pebble is one-of-a-kind, made with love and intention.

Little gifts, big impact

The most meaningful moments are often shared quietly — through a smile, a thank you, or a message that says, “This was exactly what I needed.” These are the voices of people who’ve felt that small spark of encouragement and connection that each Pocket Pebble is made to bring.

I absolutely love Pocket Pebbles. I’ve bought several of the original hand-painted stones, both as meaningful gifts for loved ones and as little reminders for myself. Each pebble feels incredibly personal – the artwork is beautiful, but it’s the inspiring and positive messages that really make them special. You can feel the care and intention that goes into every single one.

Over the last few years I have been watching Sam McGeorge developing her passion for doing art on pebbles, until its has become a thriving business! They are such precious gifts to receive or to give as gifts. They don’t take up space in your home, but shine like precious gems wherever you choose to put them.

Caroline Blundell

It’s not often that you come across a small business which operates this professionally, efficiently and all done with such passion, warmth and a big smile.
Sam is one of those human beings with a huge heart and a desire to make a difference in the lives of others, and this is exactly what Pocket Pebbles have achieved.
