About Us
Our Story
​
Gifts & Mementos is more than just a business—it’s a story of resilience, craftsmanship, and passion.
We are a family-owned company founded by Ukrainian entrepreneurs who, after losing their business to war, found a new home in North Carolina. Despite the challenges, we never lost our love for creativity and the art of making meaningful, personalized gifts.
Blending traditional engraving techniques with modern technology, we create custom-made pieces that celebrate individuality and personal connections. Every item we craft carries a story—whether it’s a heartfelt keepsake, a one-of-a-kind gift, or a decor piece that turns a house into a home.
Our Philosophy
At Gifts & Mementos, we believe that every creation should be as unique as the person receiving it. We take pride in our meticulous craftsmanship, attention to detail, and commitment to quality.
From custom engravings on wood, metal, and glass to intricate, layered designs, we bring your ideas to life. Every piece is made with care, ensuring it reflects your personality and the emotions you want to share.
From Ukraine to North Carolina
Our journey from Ukraine to North Carolina is a testament to perseverance, creativity, and the power of new beginnings. Inspired by our rich artistic heritage and driven by the opportunities in our new home, we’ve built Gifts & Mementos as a bridge between cultures, traditions, and contemporary design.
Today, Gifts & Mementos is not just a brand—it’s a celebration of individuality, craftsmanship, and the meaningful connections that make life special.
