DN Gifts for Life

About Us

How It All Began

Sometimes, the most beautiful things start small — in a warm bedroom where a grandmother taught her granddaughter how to crochet. That’s where the story of DN Gifts For Life began. What started as simple handcrafting gradually grew into something much greater: a mission to bring happiness and inspiration through creative giving.

Founder Dede Nettles turned her lifelong love of making things into a way to touch others’ lives. From crafting blankets and handmade décor to baking cupcakes and decorating vases, every chapter of her journey led to one truth: giving is an expression of love.

A Business Born from Faith and Resilience

When the world slowed down in 2020, the idea reignited. With her family’s encouragement and deep faith, Dede brought her creativity to a new space. The garage-to-studio transformation turned into a storefront filled with color, warmth, and purpose. What began out of necessity became a permanent passion, a reminder that even during uncertain times, creativity and community can bloom.
“Every gift we craft is made with love, prayer, purpose, and sharing a piece of joy.”

Our Mission

To create gifts that do more than decorate — gifts that inspire, comfort, and celebrate life itself. To empower others to embrace the joy of giving and remind them that small acts of kindness can change someone’s day.

Our Vision

A community inspired by creativity and compassion, where people celebrate both giving and gratitude. DN Gifts For Life aims to be a local beacon of imagination, faith, and heartfelt service, a place where gifts are personal.
