It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and a company from the happiest place on earth is making it personal. California-based Macorner’s “elves” have been hard at work personalizing holiday gifts since before Halloween, and they’ll be getting busier as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the major holidays approach.
This will be the third Christmas for Macorner, a personalized gift company launched in the midst of the pandemic. Since then, the company has already fulfilled almost two million orders of unique and fun items for customers worldwide. Popular sellers this year range from home decor, apparel, and drinkware to accessories such as keychains and signs.
“We have created a one-stop shop for your ‘corner,’ whether it’s decorating your living space or buying gifts for loved ones,” says Kris Vo, the company’s representative. “And we’re ready to play Santa again in 2022!”
Macorner’s specialty is custom drawings of loved ones, furry friends included. On its website, customers can start a project from scratch or choose from a variety of templates that emphasize family, friends, pet lovers, relationships and more. And they’re not just for Christmas and Hanukkah. “Personalized gifts are great for any occasion,” Vo adds, “whether it’s recognizing an employee, a co-worker or a family member’s milestone. People love to see themselves represented in the gift itself, and gift givers love the ‘wow’ factor.”
Thankfully, Macorner rolls out new products constantly, many in the home decor category. Although barely two years old, the company’s goal is to create a one-stop shop for customers to have fun and express themselves, whether on a Christmas Tree ornament, a wine tumbler, a pillow or a piece of clothing. “Since Covid, we are all living inside of bubbles, and our homes have become both cocoons and refuges,” says Vo. “We believe that it is just so important to fill our bubbles with friends and family and memories.”
One thing Macorner is not about is surprises, at least the kind that produce unhappy returns. On its website, a special AI-driven graphics tool shows the finished product before ordering, which is a little like being in a high-tech Santa’s workshop. But easier and hopefully a lot warmer!
Macorner stresses that aspiring designers need not fear. They will have plenty of real live people-type help at the ready too. Throughout the holiday season, its agents will be providing personalized support 24/7, working as quickly as possible to answer questions and fulfill special requests.
“We know that it’s natural to get excited and maybe even a little anxious when you give a unique gift for the first time,” says Vo, “but we’ve made the process fun and stress-free. You or your loved one will receive a top-quality, personalized gift and everyone will end up feeling very nice.”
But, she says, don’t wait. Because gifting late is naughty, isn’t it?
