About Sammyg*s

“Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons.”

— Ruth Ann Schabacker

That's a great way to sum up what Sammyg*s stands for: Each day does in fact bring its own gifts, and life will always bring you reason for celebration.

It was with this in mind that Sammyg*s came into existence in August 1996. What began as cookie baking at the University of Western Ontario for a bunch of homesick young adults soon grew into a passion for creating aesthetically attractive products with a personalized touch.

Everyone loved the cookies. They complimented me on the presentation and packaging, and encouraged me to take a risk; I opened Sammy G's. With my learned skills as a Real Estate sales agent, my marketing and public relations skills, and an overall desire to make people happy, I thought it was a chance worth taking.

Still, to this day, when a gift I create is opened, when I sell a product that young professionals can use to express their thanks to clients, or I see the reaction to a gift given to someone special by someone special, a gift made with passion and creativity- I know I am doing the right thing.
