Jennifer Lum Lung opened Cordially, a Central Phoenix shopping experience, just over a year ago. The chic hot spot flaunts the coolest finds from 40+ local vendors.
Lum Lung, once a buyer for Williams Sonoma, is a mom of four boasting creative juices and a passion for curating gifts. Cordially specializes in complimentary customization and local delivery, in addition to services such as screen printing.
The Cordially owner believes everyone should have a gift closet stocked with just-in-case items for last minute gifting. She also suggests what many often deny: gifting things the receiver will actually use and adore.
Here are 6 no-brainer gifts any woman would appreciate.
Custom Cutting Boards
Personalized cutting boards are not only useful, but beautiful. What makes Cordially's customization non-cliché? Well, they can engrave family recipes atop boards or even scan photos making for meaningful decor. Plus, customization is complimentary- you simply pay the price of the board.
SAINT Candles
Cordially is one of the exclusive Valley shops to carry SAINT candles- modern prayer candles for a cause benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The SAINT collection features fine fragrances, and each product is handmade with care and blessed with holy intentions. The stunning and super luxe candles range options for healing, love, protection, peace, prosperity, strength and more.
Gift Baskets
Cordially is known for curating gift baskets with a unique and strategic formulation process. After a consultation providing information on the recipient(s), the gifting team goes to work carefully crafting the best basket. Upon completion, they'll send the buyer photos and details of what's inside before finalization. And to top it off, they'll deliver locally... for free.
Personalized Totes
Think beyond putting a name on a custom bag. Cordially's possibilities are endless, offering graphics, images, logos and beyond. Plus, take your pick from an array of tote sizes, colors and strap design.
Personalized Doormats
Custom doormats are all the rave, but if you want something other than an initial, Cordially offers plenty of cool ideas. Some personalized offerings include: a city/zip Arizona mat, a cactus address mat, monogrammed mats, mats with quotes, holiday-themed mats and multi-colored options.
Custom Tabletop Lazy Susans
Premium wood Lazy Susan Turntables measure 18″ around, and can be stained in your color of choice accompanied with preferred personalization. It's a perfect pop for entertaining or displaying on a table for decor.
3 Go-To Gifting Tips
1. Instead of opting for a generic or mass-produced item, aim for quality. A well-made gift shows you value the recipient and want to give them something that will be cherished. Quality doesn't always mean expensive; it's about choosing something that's well-crafted and suits the recipient's taste and lifestyle.
2. Listen and observe. Pay attention to hints or comments the recipient drops about their interests, needs, or desires. By being attentive to these cues, you can choose a gift that's thoughtful and tailored to the recipient's preferences. The best gift is one that reflects her personality, interests, and tastes.
3. Often overlooked, consider the packaging and presentation of the gift. The way a gift is wrapped can significantly enhance the overall experience for the recipient.
