Hello! I am Zachary, the founder of Ornamem and CEO of Ornamem LLC. Welcome to my online store!

My vision for Ornamem started in late November of 2024 when I was thinking of a gift for my grandma, aunt, mom, sister and best friend. For the past 18 months I had been at home earning my master's degree, and over the course of that time I had spent countless days and hours with each of them; we went to the beach, amusements parks, watched movies, shared meals, celebrated birthdays and holidays, took endless selfies, attended classes and seminars, enjoyed sporting events and so much more! As I came to the end of my graduate program, I was preparing to start a new journey at my next job position in January 2025.

I knew I had to gift each of them something meaningful, that would last and that they could display whenever and wherever. Since it was close to the holidays, the thought of a custom ornament crossed my mind; I remember the previous year when my best friend had gifted me a custom ornament with a photo of us together on a song. It was our favorite song titled "Lifetime" which reminded me of our lifelong friendship. It got me thinking. How can I reciprocate this thoughtful gift, make it personally our own and include the vast number of memories from the past 18 months together?

And so I created Ornamem, short for Ornamental Memories. A product and service that allows users to design a fully customizable, one-of-a-kind, decorative, ornamental gift. The contents of the ornament are limitless: messages, memories, thoughts, sayings, thank-you's, places visited, funny moments, activities shared, the "ways you love" someone, quotes, sayings, personality traits and more! Though I would still continue to keep in touch after moving, I wanted to symbolize my way of expressing my gratitude for the countless shared experiences and memories made together. Each of them was filled with emotion as I not only gifted them their keepsake, but read them each line, one by one, flooding myself and them with overwhelming amounts of love, joy and remembrance.

An Ornamem Keepsake is more than an ornament. It holds cherished memories unique to every person. My mission and vision are to provide the same level of integrity, service and quality to everyone who chooses to entrust their memories in an Ornamem Keepsake as I did with the people that mattered the most to me.

Thank you for choosing us. Make Your Memories Last.
