About us

At LLD Gifts, every handcrafted gift carries a heartbeat of gratitude—turning a simple “thank-you” into a warm, lasting bond between families, friends, and clients.

Welcome to LLD Gifts!

Hi, I’m Lauren Lash, proud owner of Lauren Lash Designs! What began in 2011 at my dining-room table has grown into a thriving, woman-owned company that employs dozens with full benefits, supports community outreach, and donates to multiple charities—earning us the distinction of ranking 49th among 4.3 million Etsy retailers worldwide. Our personalized gifts are tailored for every occasion—birthdays, milestones, weddings, and holidays—each item meticulously handcrafted, engraved, or pressed by a team dedicated to quality. Since opening our Etsy shop, we’ve continually expanded our catalog with fresh, meaningful products available year-round, and we welcome special requests and questions so we can help make your next celebration truly memorable and unique.

Our Journey of Joyful Gifting

One woman’s passion for thoughtful presents blossomed into a brand that sparks connection across continents.

The Spark of Thoughtful Giving

Long before LLD Gifts had a name, young Lauren spent hours matching presents to personalities. She learned that the smallest details can whisper, “I see you.” Those early experiments in empathy became the blueprint for a business where every product is chosen to mirror the recipient’s quirks, dreams, and milestones.

From Dining-Room Table to Bespoke Studio

In 2011, that childhood spark ignited into action. Lauren transformed a home workshop, one engraving machine, and a perfectionist’s eye for detail into a full-scale personalization studio. Today, her one-woman cottage industry has evolved into a full-scale studio employing dozens, yet the guiding promise remains unchanged: every stitch, press, and polish must feel as intimate as a handwritten note.

A Heartbeat of Resilience

Born with Transposition of the Great Vessels, Lauren spent her first year tethered to life support while doctors waited for her heart to grow large enough for surgery. The prognosis was grim, but survival rewrote the script. That hard-won heartbeat now echoes through LLD Gifts—each personalized piece carries a quiet reminder that challenges can bloom into purpose, and that hope, like ribbon, is strongest when it’s wrapped around something you love.

Gifts That Give Forward

Your order doesn’t end at the doorstep. A portion of every sale is funneled to Make-A-Wish, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Sanfilippo Syndrome Foundation, and other charities that champion children with disabilities. In sharing our handcrafted gifts, you’re also underwriting life-changing surgeries, wish-granting adventures, and research breakthroughs—proof that a single present can ripple outward, weaving new stories of courage and connection.

Our Mission

At LLD Gifts, our mission is simple yet powerful: to turn everyday gestures into lifelong connections. We do this by:

  • Crafting With Heart

    Every piece is handmade, engraved, or pressed in-house by talented artisans who treat each order like it’s the only one on the bench.

  • Elevating Corporate & Personal Gifting

    We partner with businesses and families alike, delivering bespoke gifts that strengthen client loyalty, celebrate team milestones, and make loved ones feel truly seen.

  • Championing Community & Hope

    From full-benefit jobs for our growing team to ongoing support for organizations such as Make-A-Wish, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and the Sanfilippo Syndrome Foundation, we weave giving back into every success.

  • Inspiring Resilience

    Born from a story of overcoming the odds, LLD Gifts exists to remind children and adults with disabilities—and anyone facing challenges—that their possibilities are limitless.
