We can all relate to the challenge of coming up with the perfect gift – especially for the recipient who already has it all.

This was the dilemma Camila Stone faced a few Christmases ago when she was brainstorming meaningful gifts for her family and friends. So, she decided to buy a wood burner and try engraving some store-bought wood boxes. She quickly determined she could probably do a better job building the boxes herself and took her DIY gift project to the next level. Stone bought a small saw and handmade engraved wood boxes for her entire family for Christmas.

The gifted boxes were a huge hit! Her family absolutely loved them and showed all their friends. Before she knew it, Stone was taking orders. As she sealed her fate as a local maker, Cami&Cat came to life!

Two years ago, Stone quit a job she loved to make wood-burned signs and boxes full time. St. Augustine-based Cami&Cat has taken off and her job carrying out her passion makes her immensely happy.

So, rid yourself of the gift-giving stress when you stop by the Cami&Cat booth at Made in St. Augustine® to stock up on unique presents for your family and friends. (Chances are, you’ll take one look and decide you need one for yourself too!) Cami&Cat products are available online at http://www.camiandcat.com where you can also contact Stone for commissions.
