— ABOUT —
An editorial keepsake studio.
Built around the moment, not the merchandise.
"We started with a simple observation: most party favors get thrown away by Tuesday. The good ones get worn for years."
Keepsake Press is a Tustin-based mobile customization studio that brings live, on-site custom apparel and drinkware to events across Orange County and Los Angeles.
The idea came out of twenty-seven years of running a maternity and newborn photography studio in Orange County. We've watched hundreds of baby showers from the inside — the planning, the spending, the gift bags. And we've watched the same thing happen at every single one: guests left with paper bags of well-meaning trinkets that ended up in a drawer, or worse, the trash.
Meanwhile, the one thing that always stuck wasn't a thing at all. It was the moment — the conversation, the shared laugh, the in-joke between the aunties. The favor that lasted was the experience of being there.
Keepsake Press exists to make that moment material. Guests choose a blank piece. They choose a design from our editorial template library or commission a custom one in advance. Then they watch it pressed, in front of them, and wear it home that night. The favor isn't a paper bag. It's the keepsake they helped make — and the moment they made it.
Every Keepsake Press piece is sealed with our small inside-hem mark — a quiet credit to the moment it was made.
— HOW IT WORKS —
Built for your kind of event.
— FOR SHOWERS —
For the mom-to-be and everyone who loves her.
For baby showers, we press onesies for the mom-to-be, tees for the parents, and matching pieces for the grandmothers, aunties, and best friends who showed up.
The favor is the experience of pressing something together. The mom-to-be leaves with a stack of one-of-one keepsakes. Her guests leave wearing the day.
— FOR OTHER EVENTS —
However you want to remember the day.
For bridal showers, birthdays, corporate offsites, retirement parties, and weddings, you decide what your guests take home.
Guests can press for themselves — a piece they choose and customize on the spot. Or you can plan a gift for the guest of honor, with every guest contributing something personal. We'll help you decide what fits your event when you inquire.
— THE STANDARDS —
What we hold to.
01
More than onesies.
Some pieces come from our own in-house seamstresses, others from carefully chosen local vendors. Onesies, tees, mugs, water bottles, totes — we'll discuss the suite for your event. Standard pricing covers onesies + tees; mugs and water bottles add 25%.
02
Premium materials.
Soft cotton onesies and tees. Heavy ceramic mugs. Insulated stainless tumblers. Nothing your guest will throw out.
03
Made on the spot.
Every keepsake is pressed live in front of guests. They watch it happen. They take it home that day, not a week later in the mail.
04
Made to be kept.
Built to last past the party. Sealed with our inside-hem mark — the small credit to the moment it was made.
