It began with a passion & three generations.
Genuine Gifts Ltd. is made up of a small team operating in Edmonton, Alberta. Our team comes from an Indigenous background (Woodlands Cree from Stanley Mission, North Saskatchewan), we have been reconnecting to these roots for quite some time. The owner, Angie has loved crafting, creating and strived towards entrepreneurship all her life. She started Genuine Gifts with the hope of creating a community of kind and genuine people of similar interests, this hope came true. Jean is Angie’s mom, she is everyone’s Kokum and is an expert at beaded poppies. Jade runs all social media and is somewhat of a creative ‘director’ as she has a background in the arts. We have combined our skills and passions to provide unique, handmade and local products to our community. Visit us!
We were recently feature on CBC Radio’s Radio Active with Jessica Ng! We went on to discuss more backstory behind Genuine Gifts Ltd and the making of our Handmade & Hand Beaded Mittens
