Personalize Ornaments
Personalize Ornaments sells custom Christmas keepsakes organized by family size, from couples to a family of ten, plus pet, baby, sports, and occupation themes, all needing names added per order.
The brief
The catalog is unusual: the same ornament repeats across "Family Of 2" through "Family Of 10," with pet, baby, sports, and occupation variants on top. Shoppers must land on the right family-size collection, supply names for every person, and trust a same-day-shipping holiday gift bought in a rush. A generic theme would bury that structure and lose hurried gift-buyers.
- Navigation had to make family-size collections (couples through family of 10) instantly findable without overwhelming the menu
- Each product needed clear name-entry and special-instruction fields so personalization details never get lost before checkout
- Seasonal urgency (same-day and free 24-hour shipping, the buy 4 pay 3 offer) had to surface without cluttering the storefront
What I built
Gencer Karakaya built a full custom Shopify theme tuned to a personalization catalog. The collection architecture maps family size and theme to clean, browsable grids, product templates expose name and special-instruction fields up front, and trust and promo messaging (quality guarantee, 24/7 support, shipping speed) is woven into the layout. The result reads as a focused holiday gift shop rather than a generic store.
- Custom Liquid collection and menu structure that surfaces Family Of 2 through Family Of 10 alongside pet, baby, sports, and occupation themes
- Product templates with prominent name-entry and special-instruction inputs so every personalization detail carries through to the order
- Built-in promo and trust components for the buy 4 pay 3 offer, same-day shipping, and 100% quality guarantee
- Image-led grids and performance-conscious markup to keep the gift-heavy storefront fast during the holiday rush
