Meet the Makers: Neighborwoods
At Evergreen Custom Gifting we focus on curated, elevated, and locally-inspired keepsakes that create a meaningful connection to our destination. Partnering with fellow creative small business owners whenever possible. In our “Meet the Makers” series we feature the local artisans and makers that provide products for our gifts.
Today we highlight Neighborwoods. Founded in 2012, Neighborwoods allows you to bring city pride into your home with their engraved coasters, letter cutouts collection, and custom branded gifts. From your hometown to your favorite travel destination, their charming coaster sets, illustrated landmark coasters and letter cutouts are the perfect gifts to celebrate the neighborhoods you love and cherish all your best vacation memories.
Meet Mary and the Story Behind!
Currently, Mary is based in Southern California with her husband and dog, Spock. After studying Graphic Design in college and working in Marketing for a few years, Mary ended up interning at Neighborwoods back in 2013 and in early 2020 became the new owner!
Growing up in the midwest, living up and down the east coast (including Boston, Philly, and Brooklyn), and spending two years driving across the country, Mary had the opportunity to explore big cities and small towns. Seeing first hand the pride people have for where they're from, she loves what her products bring into homes everywhere.
From customer service to creating unique custom branded gifts, Mary is the glue that holds it all together.
What's your favorite part about doing what you do?
Seeing first hand the pride people have for where they're from, I love what our products bring into homes everywhere. It's also great to work with companies all over the U.S. to create custom branded gifts that can be used for events, homebuyers, employees and clients. So many possibilities.
Anything else we should know about Neighborwoods?
We offer custom branding on our products. I'll work with you to create a distinct custom product. All coasters can be engraved with a company logo or custom artwork and come packaged with a custom stamped canvas pouch. Plus, our new letter cutouts can be customized with any city name and come packaged in a custom stamped Kraft gift box.
