Our story
Our core values
Five values have guided us from our humble beginnings through everything since. They're not a poster on the wall — they're how we decide things.
How it's made
Every gift is decorated here in Merrillville using one of three methods. Which one we reach for depends on the material.
Laser engraving
The laser burns the design into the material itself, so there's no ink to scratch off or fade. We use it on wood, glass, slate, leatherette and coated metal.

Embroidery
Thread stitched straight into the fabric. Every design gets digitized before the first stitch, so monograms and logos keep their shape instead of pulling out of true.

Sublimation
Heat turns the ink to gas and bonds it into the surface instead of printing on top. The image becomes part of the piece, so there's no raised edge and nothing to peel.
Shop photo giftsIf we wouldn't be proud to give it, it doesn't ship.
That's the whole standard. Before anything gets packed, two of our team members check it over — the engraving, the spelling, the finish, the way it sits in the box. If it wouldn't pass as a gift to someone who matters to us, it doesn't go out the door. It's a personalized gift, so you only get one shot at the moment you're giving it. If something isn't right when it arrives, tell us and we'll make it right. That's been the deal since 2007. Reviews and our guaranteeAs Featured In
Bulk and custom logo gifts
About half of what leaves our shop isn't a single gift — it's the same gift many times over, with a logo, a monogram, or a different name on each one. We set up the artwork, keep your logo on file so reorders match the first run exactly, and quote on quantity. Minimums are lower than most promotional suppliers, because we decorate in-house instead of brokering it out. Custom logo gifts 219-940-9110Frequently asked questions
Where are your gifts made?
In our own shop in Merrillville, Indiana, about 45 minutes outside Chicago. Every gift is engraved, embroidered or printed here — we don't broker decoration out to another supplier.
How quickly do orders ship?
Most gifts leave our door within 2 business days of ordering, with transit time on top of that. Large bulk orders take longer, and we'll give you a date when you order.
Do you ship to all 50 states?
Yes. We ship anywhere in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii.
Can I order in bulk or add my company logo?
Yes. We do corporate gifts, employee awards, wedding party gifts and team orders with your logo or a different name on every piece. Call 219-940-9110 or see our custom logo gifts page.
What if something isn't right when it arrives?
Tell us and we'll make it right. A personalized gift only gets given once, so if it isn't what you expected, we'd rather remake it than have you hand it over anyway.
Can I visit your shop?
Our Merrillville building is a production facility and office rather than a storefront, so it's closed to the public. Everything we make is available online.
