About Proper Goose

After starting off in 2015 designing and making Limited Edition First Day Covers, we realised we had many other for usage for our equipment; printers Lasers etc and we decided to branch out into the personalised gift market.  Our previous name, FDCovers, really wasn’t right for our new venture so we set about thinking of a name for our new company.

After several gins and based on our surname of Gosling (no relation to Ryan, unfortunately!) my wife, Tracy thought of the name Proper Gander but quickly realised that the name could be misinterpreted (particularly as the children didn’t even know what a ‘gander’ was! ).  Tracy then said what about “Proper Goose”? 

So in 2016 Proper Goose was born.
