Hi, I'm Becky, the boss lady around here!
I'm so glad you stopped by. I'm passionate, fun-loving, a little quirky, and I believe a gift means more when it's made just for someone. Personalization has always been a passion of mine, all the way back to 1997 when scrapbooking was all the rage. Some of the tools from that hobby led me to my true calling. And yes, the squirrel is our mascot for a reason! "Silver Squirrel" started as my college nickname, and over the years friends and family have given me a lifetime's worth of squirrel trinkets and gifts. These playful, busy little creatures are part of who I am.

How it all started
In 2014, I asked my husband for a sandblasting cabinet for Christmas. Before long, I was carving glass for every friend and family member I could think of. Word of mouth spread quickly, and in January 2015, Craft Specialties LLC was born.

That fall, while hunting for equipment upgrades, I came across a full-service engraving business for sale. I only meant to buy the equipment, but the dream of running my own shop wouldn't go away. In June 2016, I went for it and took over a business that had served our community for 15 years. Since then, I've added gifts for every occasion, new state-of-the-art equipment, and an online store. I also rebranded as Silver Squirrel Engraving & Gifts, and in 2025 we moved to our new home in Little Chute.

What we're all about
We're a family business, and I couldn't do it without my husband, Markus. Along with his corporate job, he's a huge help in the shop, spending evenings and weekends helping us grow. Our mission is simple: a trendy, modern, customer-centered gift-buying experience, with high-quality engraved and personalized pieces made to be treasured. Ornaments, glassware, awards, keepsakes and memorials are all made with care right here in our shop.
