Wedding gifts are probably one of the most difficult gifts to get ... you may not really know the bride & groom very well so you don't know their taste or style. Or you know them so well, that you should be able to find that perfect and meaningful gift that matches their personality to the "T." So the pressure is on!!

Mariposa Gifts was founded by Livia Cowen in 1980 as a small family business that transformed soft-drink bottles down in Mexico into modern glassware. They now are a leader in handcrafted tableware, embracing the arts of ceramics, aluminum, cutlery, and handcrafted glass in myriad forms and textures from around the world. Since its inception, the company has enjoyed its headquarters in Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA. (Yeah, another local company!)
Livia travels the world to meet with master artisans in remote villages, observing their handicraft before bringing their innovative, one-of-a-kind designs back to the United States. Mariposa also employs some of its own designers, who collaborate directly with regional artisans. With only 30 employees, the Mariposa Company fosters a sense of family-oriented camaraderie and teamwork.
Each Mariposa gift item is created by hand one at a time, with each piece taking over an hour to forge. They make a nice assortment of sand-cast aluminum serve ware including ice buckets, ornate platters, decorative candleholders, stately picture frames, salad accessories, and more. A wide range of styles, themes, and textures ensures something for every entertaining style.
The glee gals will help you select the perfect Mariposa gift, and remember you can also personalize the gift with engraving. If we don’t have it in stock, we can custom order it for you!
