About Us

Hi there,

I’m Alex — founder of 30bridgette.

This all started about two years ago, in a small garage on the outskirts of town. Back then, I was still working an office job, but I had this quiet passion: creating handcrafted wooden gifts. I remember making my first wooden photo frame for my mother. She smiled and said, “You should make more of these for others.” That simple sentence stuck with me — and maybe that’s when the seed was planted.

I started crafting small wooden items at night and on weekends — nameplates, music boxes, memory plaques, personalized frames… The first few were gifts for friends and family. Then they started referring their friends, and I realized: these weren’t just products — they were vessels for stories, emotions, and memories people wanted to hold onto.

And so, 30bridgette was born — with a mission to create simple yet meaningful wooden gifts, crafted with care and attention.

We’re a small team based in the United States, but we collaborate with talented artisans from around the world, especially from Vietnam — a place known for its deep-rooted woodworking tradition. Every item we make goes through careful material selection, custom design (often personalized), and quality inspection before it’s shipped out.

We’re not here to mass-produce.
We care about the story behind every gift: a birthday wish, a wedding memory, a heartfelt apology, a message that was never said… Those are what make each product unique.

At 30bridgette, we don’t just sell woodwork — we help you send a piece of your heart to someone you love, in the most honest, handmade way.

Thank you for finding us. We hope you’ll discover a gift here that carries your story.

– Alex and the 30bridgette Team
