Stories We Love to Share

Not every article we’re featured in is a gift guide — and that’s on purpose! Some stories highlight our ornaments for customers looking for meaningful gifts, while others share our journey as a small business (which we love, because supporting fellow makers and entrepreneurs is close to our hearts). Whether the spotlight is on our designs or on our story, every mention includes a nod to our ornaments or our journey — and we’re grateful for the opportunity to share both sides of what we do.

In the Media

Forged Flare® founders Chris and Jen Street in press release photo for media kit, as seen in key publications.

Thanks for Spreading the Word (and the Love)!

We’re Jen and Chris, a husband-and-wife team and a pair of sentimental techies with a flair for the handcrafted. Forged Flare® started when Chris gave his mom a handcrafted, stained glass-inspired angel figurine he designed himself — our very first Mother’s Angels® collectible. She loved it so much, we thought Hmmm, we should make more of these.

Now we’re on a mission to help make someone’s day, every day, by creating meaningful collectibles that make people feel seen, appreciated, and loved.

The amazing writers, publications, and fans who help share our story are our partners in making this mission happen. As a small startup, we are beyond grateful to every single person and organization who helps to tell our story.
