Hi there, and welcome to Hilliard's Custom Creations!
My name is Mallory, and I'm the owner and creator behind Hilliard's Custom Creations, located in Western Massachusetts. Here you'll find a variety of handmade and personalized items, including keepsakes, pet toys and accessories, car coasters, sewn goods, and other unique creations.
What started as a creative hobby making gifts for friends and family has grown into a small business that allows me to share my love of creating with others. I believe some of the most meaningful gifts are the ones that are thoughtful, personal, and made with care. Whether you're shopping for a loved one, a beloved pet, or even yourself, I hope you find something that brings a little extra joy to your day.
Animals have played a special role in both my life and my business. My pet collection was inspired by two very special companions: my cat, Teddy, and our dog, Lenny. Though they have both crossed the rainbow bridge, they continue to inspire me every day. Their memory lives on in the pet toys and accessories I create, and my goal is to bring the same happiness they brought to my life to other pets and pet lovers.
Every business also needs a supervisor, and ours happens to have four paws. Dudley, our lovable 70-pound "velcro dog," is rarely more than a few feet away from me. He insists on squeezing behind me in my computer chair while I work and reminds me when it's time for a pup cup break. He's truly the heart of my home office.
Outside of Hilliard's Custom Creations, I work full-time as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), supporting children with autism and their families. Helping others has always been important to me, and I feel fortunate to combine that passion with my love of creating through this business.
Although Hilliard's Custom Creations started with me, it has truly become a family effort. My husband Sean is my biggest supporter and is always there to help with craft fairs, behind-the-scenes tasks, and whatever project I dream up next. We often joke that he's my "unpaid employee," but the truth is I couldn't do it without him. My parents have also been a huge source of encouragement. Hilliard's Custom Creations wouldn't be where it is now if it wasn't for the support of my family.
Thank you for visiting Hilliard's Custom Creations and supporting my small business. Every order, share, review, and kind word means more than you know. I'm grateful for the opportunity to create something special for you, your loved ones, and your pets.
