Why I Chose to Create With Love, Always
Every story has a beginning, and Walnutwithlove started with mine. Back when I was still a student in Cebu, I carried a dream bigger than just selling products. I wanted to create something personal—something that could carry love, thoughtfulness, and intention into people’s everyday lives.
What started as a small idea slowly grew into Walnutwithlove, a brand rooted in crafting personalized lifestyle gifts that speak from the heart. It wasn’t just about making items—it was about making moments meaningful. Each piece would become more than just a product; it would become a memory, a token of love, or a reminder of someone who cared.
A Student’s Dream Turned Into Purpose
I first started by making personalized wooden necklaces, each one simple but meaningful. Then I dreamed of creating a metal plate with my brand engraved on it. But as a student, I couldn’t afford the cost with just my allowance—so I invested in hand stamping tools instead.
With that, I launched a drawstring bag featuring a hand-stamped metal plate that read “walnut.” To my surprise, my friends loved the bag—but they wanted something even more personal. Instead of my brand name, they asked for their own names to be stamped on it.
That’s how Walnutwithlove was born—not from a grand plan, but from listening, adapting, and realizing that personalization is what makes every piece truly special.
Why Personalized Gifts Matter
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to forget the beauty of small gestures. But a personalized gift—whether a tumbler with a name, a pouch designed with care, or a notebook that speaks to someone’s journey—reminds us that love is in the details. It’s about choosing something thoughtful, something that says: “I thought of you.”
That’s why at Walnutwithlove, every product is designed to be more than just an item. It’s meant to fit into your everyday lifestyle, while carrying the warmth of intention.
Rooted in Cebu, Shared With the World
Starting in my small bedroom at home in Cebu gave me not only a community that believed in my vision but also the courage to keep going. Friends, family, and early supporters carried Walnutwithlove with me, reminding me that this brand was never just about me—it was about the people who believed in love, kindness, and thoughtfulness expressed through the things we give and use daily.
Why With Love, Always
The name Walnutwithlove isn’t just a brand—it’s a promise. A promise that whatever we create will always be touched with heart, no matter how big or small. Because love is what carried me from being a student with a simple idea to becoming someone who could share that love through personalized lifestyle gifts.
At the end of the day, Walnutwithlove is here to remind us all: gifts are never just things. They are vessels of memory, connection, and love. And that’s why I will always choose to create—with love, always.
