Everyone has an impossible-to-buy for person on their Christmas list. Maybe it’s your mom. Maybe it’s your sister. Maybe it’s that long list of co-op friends you really want to pull together something sweet for, but just don’t have the time to Pinterest a day away.
You want something they will enjoy, not too spendy, and personal. (Because we all know that gift certificates are lovely but lack that air of, “Just for you!”) Also, if you can happen to order online, all the better, right? And maybe you’d even like to keep your money out of the Big Boxes.
Too tall an order?
Yeah, ummmm … it kind of is.
Except … we found it.
A local (to us), family-owned and operated business featuring beautiful, personalized products at a price that doesn’t make you shudder.
Welcome to Argyle Heirlooms, creator of handcrafted wood signs, ornaments, monograms, and other decor items.
Speaking with David at Argyle Heirlooms gives you a sense for the purpose and passion behind the business. Started by two families, the focus is on quality, affordability, and creating lasting pieces of for the whole family to enjoy for years to come.
But personalized items like these are expensive. We’ve all walked into specialty shops and seen the pricing. But that gorgeous sign with our last name? Painted, it’s $30. Left natural, you’d pay $25. Christmas ornaments are buy three, get one free– an excellent way to cross four names off your list for around $24! Cheese boards. Nursery wall decorations. These folks can make just about anything. (For evidence, see the featured photos on their Facebook page!)
Customization and personalization are the keys to Argyle Heirlooms. A quick Facebook message conversation can get you started on your way to a one-of-a-kind gift. Check out their online catalog, then make it your own. Suggest a state shape for a unique ornament for your sister in Ohio. Ask for chalkboard paint. Add your new nephew’s name to a sailboat. Order a set of themed shapes to compliment your holiday table setting. Not only are the products personalized, but the service is, too. They want to help you make something that you’ll love. You can’t get that on Amazon.
We are delighted to have found a family business that offers creative craftsmanship at a price point that contributes to their livelihood while not being out of the price range of the average buyer. We’re equally thrilled to point you in the direction of someone who can solve one of those perennial gift-giving dilemmas. Give Argyle Heirlooms a look, and you won’t be disappointed!
