Groovy Guy Gifts is a family owned shop in Monroe, Connecticut. Most of what we sell is personalized to order right here, one name, one date, one story at a time. This page is how it happens.
Chris Bajda founded Groovy Guy Gifts in 2013 and has spent more than 15 years finding and designing personalized gifts that people keep. He still walks the NY NOW trade show in New York City every year looking for what belongs in the shop next.
“A gift means more when it is made for one person and no one else.”
Four steps between the moment you order and the moment it lands on his doorstep.
His name, a date, a message, an inside joke. You type it on the product page and personalization is always free.
Your text is placed in the exact font and layout you see on the product photos, sized and fitted to the piece you picked.
Laser engraving, machine embroidery, and printing happen in our own Monroe, Connecticut shop. Your gift is made when you order it, not pulled off a shelf.
A real person looks over the finished piece before it is packed. Most orders ship in 1 to 2 business days.
Different materials take a name differently. These are the four we shape most, with a favorite example of each.
Decanters and glasses, deep-etched so his name catches the light every time he pours.

Knives and tools, marked with a name and date that will not rub off, because they are cut in, not printed on.
