Flash back to Anthony Marasciulo’s early years of selling ice cream by way of his bedroom window (silverware included, to his mom’s dismay) and it should come as no surprise that he later dreamed up Tonawanda's and Williamsville's Buffalo Gift Emporium, a destination for all your gifting needs—with a specialty for customization.
These brick-and-mortars are standouts for their status as hubs for more than 150 carefully selected small businesses to sell their goods and the mission to help them reach their goals.
“We take great pride in offering a growing selection of diverse, niche and customizable products, crafted by our community of talented local makers,” says Anthony.
The shops' collection is no doubt extensive—and we would know, because we spent time selecting unique makers who offer affordable products to host inside its locations.
Wooden creations
We love the unique selection of customizable wooden coasters for their purpose, humor and rustic look. Gift alongside its circular, cork-made counterparts.
Cutting boards are a staple in most kitchens, so why not elevate their mise en place with a beautifully crafted foundation? While the collection is already diverse, you can also chat with Anthony if you’re looking for a particular design.
“If you find it on our shelves, there’s a good chance we can work with the creator to customize it,” says Anthony. “Personalized, one-of-a-kind gifts are what we’re all about.”
