Our Story

When David and Derek began planning their wedding, they encountered an unexpected challenge: finding favors and gifts that truly represented their love as a same-sex couple. The market was filled with one-size-fits-all options that failed to capture the diversity of modern families and relationships.

A Vision Born from Experience

Recognizing that other couples faced similar struggles, David and Derek saw an opportunity to create something meaningful. They envisioned a store that would welcome all couples – gay, straight, non-traditional, and traditional alike – with open arms and thoughtful products.
