A little more about us…
At Heart + Birch, crafting isn’t just a business—it’s a heartfelt passion rooted in a long history of designing and creating personalized gifts and bespoke treasures. From the simplest of gift baskets to finely tailored keepsakes, the art of thoughtful giving has always been at the core of who we are.
Our journey took root during the pandemic in 2020, a time when connection and creativity became a source of comfort. While working on a virtual school project with my then 3-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son, I found myself inspired by a simple yet meaningful assignment: crafting a rosary using household items. With twine, wooden beads, paint and ceramic crosses from previous projects, we worked together to create something truly special. That moment reminded me of how much I love bringing forgotten yet beautiful materials to life and using creativity to make meaningful gifts.
But Heart + Birch wasn’t built from scratch—I’ve always had a passion for designing bespoke gift baskets, gifts, favors, and personalized creations. Over the years, I’ve poured my heart into creating gifts that connect people and make life’s moments unforgettable. In 2022, my journey expanded even further when my husband surprised me with a state-of-the-art laser cutting machine. With this tool, I was able to take my designs to the next level, offering custom creations that reflect the thoughtfulness and care behind every celebration.
Today, I pour my creativity, passion, and love for gift-giving into Heart + Birch. Whether I’m working on a baptism gift, a wedding keepsake, or a beautifully curated gift box for a milestone celebration, my goal is always the same: to help you celebrate life’s most special moments in ways that feel personal and unforgettable.
Now, my children, who are no longer 3 and 5, love lending their creative touch to Heart + Birch. Whether it’s adding a hand-painted detail, assembling special pieces, or offering their own creative ideas, their involvement brings an extra layer of love and meaning to each creation. My husband, with his creative background and keen eye for design, is my go-to for feedback and support. Whether he’s offering a fresh perspective, helping refine ideas, or simply being there to encourage me, his contributions add even more heart to what we create. Together as a family, we pour our love into every order, ensuring that each gift tells its own special story.
