Hey Y'all
Hi, I'm Laurie — and yes, I really am the one doing the shopping. 💫
I'm a dual US-UK citizen, which means I spend a decent chunk of the year actually living stateside. Not browsing American websites. Not placing orders from a desk in Southampton. Actually there, in the shops, trying things, tasting things, picking up what's genuinely flying off the shelves right now.
Every trip home to the UK, I'd come loaded with requests from friends and family. Snacks people had seen on TikTok. Skincare that hasn't landed here yet. Candy that tastes completely different over there. So, honestly? State2U kind of started itself.
Here's what makes us different: we're not a middleman sitting in the UK ordering from American websites and hoping for the best. We're on the ground. We know what's good because we've tried it. We know what's trending because we're living it. And everything that ends up in your order has been through us first.
It's a proper family effort too — people I love on both sides of the Atlantic helping make it happen.
So. Welcome. I hope we can bring a little taste of the States straight to your door. 🇺🇸✨
