What People Say About Us
Ms Yu, South Bank, Brisbane

My daughter was given the Exotica’s Bloom Birthday Mega Kit for her 6th birthday, and she absolutely loved it! The kit really sparks creativity and imagination. She was so focused and excited the whole time. What I especially liked was that it wasn’t just for kids. I ended up joining in and had a lot of fun too! It turned into a really special time for us to make something together. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a creative and meaningful activity to do with their child.
My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her time at Exotica's Bloom Pop-up, which inspired us to purchase a kit that's still in development. We discovered that art doesn't need to be perfect; it’s about enjoyment and connection, allowing us to create our own magic in the moment without the pressure of the outcome.
Our Community Art Project
I opened this book at a little café, and within just a few pages, I found myself in tears. “Let Puff Water the Flowers” is not just a children’s book – it’s a tender reflection of life’s beautiful mess, captured with such honesty and grace.
The story resonated so deeply with me, touching parts of my own journey that I didn’t expect to find mirrored on the page. Reading Jaidee’s words, I felt the gentle presence of my late mum, as if she was right beside me, reminding me that love always lingers in the quietest, softest ways.
The illustrations are unlike anything I’ve seen before – whimsical yet profound, carrying the weight of meaning in every word. This book may be written with children in mind, but it’s truly for all ages: a keepsake, a comfort, and a reminder that beauty often hides in life’s chaos.
A must-have for every home library, and a gift that will touch hearts no matter the age.
Some books you read, others you feel. This is both. From the very first pages, Jaidee’s words reached into the tender corners of my heart and made me cry, in the best way. The illustrations sing quietly, beautifully, and together they create something timeless. It’s not just a children’s book – it’s a mirror of life, grief, love, and joy all tangled together. Congratulation Jaidee! This world needs more of you!
“Every Bloom Tells a Story.”
From cafés to classrooms, families to festivals – each Exotica's Bloom creation becomes part of our shared garden.
Five Sister Art Cafe, Fish Lane,South Bank, Brisbane
We were beyond excited to welcome Exotica's Bloom for a Pop-up at our art cafe! Their amazing clay creations and the charming book, "Let Puff Water the Flowers,"a gift read by our child—filled us with inspiration. We are eagerly looking forward to seeing the incredible community art piece come together, crafted by individuals of all ages right here in our cafe!

The Story Behind
Exotica's Bloom
Why We Reached for the Clay?
It didn’t begin with a business plan.
It began with heartbreak, silence, and a lump of soft, forgiving clay.My daughter, Sage - once full of bounce and laughter -
suddenly couldn’t walk.
After weeks of hospital visits and unanswered questions,she was diagnosed with a disability.
At the same time, my mum - a beloved community cook whose hands had nourished so many - became paralyzed from the neck down after a hospital procedure.
And I, a single mother, stood in the middle of it all -
holding the questions, the appointments, the grief, the financial strain,
and the unspoken pressure of trying to keep life stitched together.
There were no words left.
Only feelings.
We had nowhere safe to put them.So, we reached for something that didn’t ask for explanations.
That welcomed the mess
That simply waited - soft, open, and quietWe reached for the clay
No rules. No “right way.” Just hands… and hope.
We shaped eyes to feel seen.
Hearts to feel safe.
Rainbows to remind us of what comes after a storm.We sculpted grief.
We sculpted love.
And we discovered something real
"What the world calls magic… is simply energy,moved by love, shaped by our hands."
