The story behind Gifts from the Bend.

Colleen, founder of Gifts from the Bend

I decided during COVID that I wanted to learn something new. I'd always been fascinated by people who were creative and who could build beautiful things. So I ordered a miter box, then a scroll saw, table saw and finally a CNC.

I spend a lot of time trying new things and a lot of time learning from my mistakes!

But most of all, I love making creative, unique gifts for people! Finding that blend of items that is personal is such a great feeling.
