In 1991, at just 21 years old and fresh out of art school, I opened a tiny shop in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware with a love for art, children, and creating meaningful gifts. With the encouragement and endless support of my entrepreneur father and loving mother, My Bambino was born.

The store debuted with a handful of children's products, made extra special once hand painted and personalized. Our first day's sales were a meager $52 - half from friends and family : ) but it was a labor of love and passion-driven from the start.

That fall, I printed a hand-drawn catalog at the request of tourist customers that wanted to shop once they returned home, launching what would become over 30 years of creating personalized keepsake gifts.

Fast forward - much has changed but more has remained the same. I still LOVE LOVE LOVE helping our customers create one-of-a-kind gifts that connect them to the ones they love. I am extremely proud of our timeless products - heirloom quality rocking chairs, classic piggy banks, handy stepstools - items that are fun, functional, and decoratiave now and will be forever cherished, especially when it is inscribed with their name and personal message.

But the real magic comes from you. Every order has a story that we never tire of hearing.

At My Bambino, we believe children thrive when they feel deeply loved, celebrated, and seen. That’s why every gift we create is designed to become more than just a gift... it becomes part of their story, which is what our story has always been about.
