Store Spotlight: Hanson Ellis

With spring officially underway, flowers blooming, and warmer and longer days, many people are preparing for their spring weddings.  Along with all of the necessary preparations that go along with a wedding of any size comes the challenge of picking the right wedding favors to compliment the theme of the ceremony.

This week, our Store Spotlight, Hanson Ellis, focuses on an ecommerce store specializing in unique wedding favors, and unique and custom keepsakes for brides and grooms to cherish long after their big day is done.

Originally launched in 1999 under the name Online Favors, Hanson Ellis has grown from a small boutique with ten products in stock to a thriving ecommerce store carrying over 1600 different items.

Over the years, their product line has expanded to include memorable and engravable gifts for corporate occasions, as well as the signature wedding favors and personalized wedding day keepsakes that the company is known for.

Among the unique items offered in the store are the personalized Magic Wishing Beans. These beans, which are actual live plants, can be personalized with phrases such as “Love” and “Thank You” as well as the names of the bride and the groom and any other name or phrase, with a maximum of ten characters for each.

“We chose Miva Merchant because we wanted a shopping that allowed the flexibility for changes to be made quickly and effortless since most of the items in our product line have many different options, says Hanson Ellis Creative Director Tracy Hoang. “Miva Merchant allowed us the flexibility and the reliability we were looking for to keep our site operating smoothly.”
