About Us | Truistic Designs

We make unique, handmade gifts for life's special moments.

We believe in the importance of celebrating life's special moments with the people closest to us. Our goal is to help you preserve the memory of these moments for years to come with unique, handmade gifts.

We believe that good design is simple. It relies on tried-and-true concepts and showcases gorgeous materials. Great gifts jump out and scream "yes!" the moment you see them. We strive to design things that do just that.

We also believe that good design cannot be rushed or mass produced. Our product lines are manufactured in small batches - usually no more than 10 at a time. Larger jewelry boxes and humidors are made one at a time.

This allows us to pay much greater attention to the small details that help your handmade gifts last a lifetime and look great for generations.

A husband and wife team

We know a lot about celebrating life's special moments with unique gifts. It's how we got our start. What started as a custom Cocobolo jewelry box or wooden rocking horse for a special birthday quickly became a drumbeat of requests from friends and family. 

One thing held true across all of it: the joy and satisfaction from designing and building something that brought people so much happiness. We were hooked.

Several years and many designs later, we want to share our vision with the world. This has us producing small batches of our products, rather than one at a time. We hope to bring some of the joy this has added to our lives, to you and your loved ones.
