About
AL’s - Owner and Background
Howdy!
My name is Alie Lock and I am the proud owner of AL’s Custom Gifts! We are a custom ordered and made business - meaning you want it, we make it!
When COVID hit, I was unable to get a job, and I desperately needed money. I decided to do some research and decided to start a small business, ALs Custom Gifts. It started of with small orders through my town and Instagram page (@ALs_CG), but has actually been able to expand through Etsy, the world, and now my own website.
I have a 1998 TJ Jeep Wrangler that has needed some money here and there. Whether it's new tires, shocks, a radiator cap, or even an AC unit, someone has to pay for it. I first started off my business through Instagram where I created custom stamped necklaces and bracelets.
My business focuses on CUSTOM orders, so therefore I make what the people want. It eventually expanded to where I was able to create and offer more things such as key chains and lanyards. As people order, I get extra supplies, and therefore can offer them to the public as another style or option, which has truly expanded, and I would say become the basis of my business.
ALs has actually changed my life, and has shaped me into the person I am today. It might seem crazy, but who knew a pandemic could cause someone to have so much growth. Shipping through Etsy, and my website has allowed me to discover people, towns, and even countries I didn't know even existed.
I am forever grateful to those who have ordered from me, mentioned to a friend, or even just complicated. You all have made this possible for me and I am forever grateful.
