Back in 2016, one of our founders faced a familiar struggle: he wanted to gift his mom something truly special for Mother's Day—not just a generic bouquet or necklace, but something that felt like her. He scrolled through endless stores, only to find the same mass-produced items everyone else was buying.

That's when the lightbulb hit: What if we made gifts that tell a story? Gifts that hold names, dates, inside jokes—little pieces of the people we love.

We started small: a tiny workshop, a few tools for engraving, and a promise to put "personal" back into "gifting." Our first order? A wooden photo frame engraved with "Mom + Lily, 2016" (for a daughter who wanted to honor her mom's first grandchild). When we got her note—"She cried when she saw it. This isn't just a frame—it's our story"—we knew we were onto something.

Our commitment to personalization goes beyond just engraving names. We strive to capture the essence of every relationship, the uniqueness of every bond. Each gift is a canvas for your story, crafted with care and attention to detail that mass-produced items simply cannot match.

We've learned that the most meaningful gifts often come from the smallest details—a inside joke, a special date, a shared memory. These are the elements that transform ordinary objects into cherished keepsakes.

We hand-check every custom detail (no typos, no shortcuts—we once re-made a necklace at 9 PM because we noticed a misspelling in "Grandpa").

We use materials that last: thick leather, scratch-resistant metal, wood that ages beautifully (so your gift stays a keepsake for years).

And when we get notes like, "My husband said this is the first gift that ever felt 'about us'"? That's our paycheck.

As we've grown, our processes have refined but our ethos remains unchanged. Each member of our team understands that they're not just crafting products—they're helping to preserve memories and celebrate relationships.
