Dakota’s Personalized Gifts
Dakota’s Personalized Gifts started about 5 years ago with the Anniversary Rose making roses for the traditional anniversary (i.e. 1st year paper, 2nd year cotton, 5th year wood etc). Then, they expanded into personalized anniversary gifts, and also opened a second website called The Anniversary Rose! Both offer gorgeous Hand painted accessories including banks, jewelry holders, brush and comb sets, wallets and totes, duffle bags and backpacks, and stationery — just to name a few!!
It all began back when they started getting many requests for personalized Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas gifts. That’s when they came up with Dakota’s Personalized Gifts. They continue to expand with new products and updated equipment all the time which allows them to produce most of the items and personalize in house. They have everything on both of these phenomenal sites!
Gifts range from picture frames and photo albums, to ornaments, t-shirts and baby creepers and rompers, and gifts for the home.
You can find items ranging from gifts for birthdays, wedding gifts, kitchen & bath, go-green canvas tote bags, baby gifts, golf gifts and so much more! All of these gifts can be personalized for all special occasions and holidays. Are you in search of bridesmaid gifts, Christmas gifts, or a special Mother’s Day gift? Dakota’s Personalized Gifts is definately your one-stop shop!!
One of the things I really liked is that all of the gifts can be personalized to make it extra special! They offer super fast personalization — and from personal experience — their delivery time as well as customer service skills are beyond outstanding!!
Dakota Gifts packages using recycled paper, biodegradable peanuts and they ship USPS as often as they can because USPS already goes to every address everyday, so why make UPS or otherwise waste all of that fuel? This is how they are trying to save the world, one gift at at time!
“We started in a spare bedroom about 5 years ago more as a part time hobby than a business with The Anniversary Rose making roses for the traditional anniversary gifts (i.e. 1st year paper, 2nd year cotton, 5th year wood etc) cutting rose petals by hand with scissors. It quickly grew from a part time hobby to a full time business, adding help and equipment to keep up. Then, we started expanding into personalized anniversary gifts. We started getting many requests from our customers for personalized wedding, Mother’s & Father’s Day and Christmas gifts etc. That’s when we started Dakota’s Personalized Gifts. Soon the business took over a second bedroom and the garage, the following year it occupying two bedrooms, the garage & a full basement. With no room left to expand we were forced to move into a commercial location in 2009. We continue to expand with new products and updated equipment all the time which allows us to produce most of the personalized items in house.”
I chose a really gorgeous clock to review, (Friends Forever Keepsake Heart Clock) and requested that they add the name ‘Becky’, for my best friend. It looked really beautiful in the picture on the website, but after it was personalized and delivered to me, I can assure you that the pictures do not actually do these gifts justice! I was beyond impressed with it, and the compliments on it are endless!! I will definately be ordering a lot more of these wonderful personalized gifts from Dakota’s Personalized Gifts as I am now sold on this great company!!
I give both of these amazing sites a huge thumbs up! I totally recommend Dakota’s Personalized Gifts and The Anniversary Rose to everyone!!
