Our Story
Hi, I'm Kelsey — the heart behind Southern Ohana Gift Co. It all started with a craft table, a dream, and a whole lot of handmade love. I began as Kelsey's Creations, selling handcrafted items at craft fairs and festivals across North Carolina. Over time, my passion for finding the perfect gift grew into something bigger — I became a buyer for a local shop, expanding beyond handmade goods to curate a collection that truly had something for everyone.
Growing up in the heart of North Carolina, I was raised with one simple truth: family means everything. Add in a lifelong love of Disney — where 'ohana' means no one gets left behind — and the name Southern Ohana Gift Co. felt like the only choice. It's a little bit Southern charm, a little bit magic, and a whole lot of heart.
Today, I'm lucky enough to be building this dream alongside my husband, and at the end of 2025 we welcomed our baby boy — the newest and most important member of our ohana. And none of it would be possible without my mom, who is right there with me every step of the way, helping turn this dream into reality. This business isn't just a shop; it's a family affair, built with love for yours.
Whether you're shopping for someone special or treating yourself, you're part of our ohana now.
