Meaningful Gifts. Beautifully Personalized.
GoldStone Creative is a Minnesota-based small business creating personalized gifts, engraved products, rhinestone tumblers, wood décor, accessories, and keepsakes designed to celebrate the people and moments that matter most.
Every item is created with care, attention to detail, and the understanding that a personalized gift is often more than just a product. It may celebrate a birthday, honor a loved one, recognize an achievement, support a cause, or preserve a meaningful memory.
How GoldStone Creative Began
GoldStone Creative began during one of the most difficult and uncertain periods of my life.
In August 2022, I was laid off from my full-time position as an administrative assistant. Shortly afterward, my car was totaled. Without reliable transportation, I focused my job search on remote opportunities, but finding the right position was difficult.
At the same time, my 15-year-old son, Tanner, began experiencing a series of unusual health problems. What initially seemed like unrelated symptoms became increasingly concerning. In November 2022, after a trip to the emergency room and later scans, Tanner was diagnosed with stage IV, group IV Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS).
From that moment forward, caring for him became my priority. Returning to a traditional full-time job was no longer realistic because Tanner needed me for medical appointments, care at home, and frequent travel between our home and Mayo Clinic for treatment.
GoldStone Creative started as a way for me to earn an income while remaining available for my son. What began out of necessity soon became a creative outlet and a source of purpose during an incredibly difficult time.
The Meaning Behind the Gold
The gold in GoldStone Creative represents the gold ribbon for childhood cancer awareness.
It honors Tanner, his courage, and the love that inspired this business.
In August 2023, Tanner lost his battle with cancer.
GoldStone Creative continues in his memory and will always be connected to the love I have for him.
