About us
It was a cloudy autumn day, when we first had the idea to buy a laser cutting machine. Kitti was raging as she couldn't find the perfect decoration for our wedding. She checked a lot of webshops and called most of them, but none had the perfect wooden heart. Then she finally found a small store in the middle of nowhere, but they only sold different size of hearts, so we bought a lot of packages to start digging them up for similar ones. We still have the ones not used in our shelves. Then we saw an article about an American company selling small laser cutting machines. Kitti sent the article to Tamas (back then only her fiancé), and together we decided to make decorations for others' wedding.
This is our short story of how the project was born. Of course this was not without problems. The following year we received the machine and we fried the AC adapter in the first try. So in the first month we had to find local support. 😄 But we were not worried as we have started designing our products, and prepared the webshop.
After a short time we felt that the wedding decoration is not our real goal, we wanted something different, other products, and a different store. Then we looked at our small collection of board games (6 games all together), and specially the box of Blood Rage. Let's make an insert for it! And the initial feedback was that people loved it.
This is where The GiftForge actually started its journey. The wedding and other decorations was quickly replaced by inserts, followed by board game accessories. Since then we have continuously worked on new ideas and products.
Furthermore we are happy to be involved in some weddings as well, returning to the beginning. 😊
But we did not stop at physical products or even wood itself. Over the years we noticed that more and more people now have 3D printers and laser cutters at home, so we expanded our portfolio with digital files as well.
And for the future, our main goal is to focus on digital products while continuing to create designs that you enjoy and love. We believe that the design philosophy behind our organizers and accessories is one of the strongest parts of The GiftForge, and through digital products we can share these ideas with even more players around the world.
