About Us
Thoughtful gifts, made personal.
House of Tys is a small mother-and-son business created by Alison and Tyson (“Tys”) with one simple idea: the most meaningful gifts are the ones that feel like they were made for one specific person.
We wanted to create a place where you could find gifts that celebrate the moments families never want to forget — birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, new babies, grandparents, beloved pets, Christmas mornings, major milestones, and all the little moments in between.
Not just another gift.
Something with their name on it.
Their date.
Their family.
Their story.
Something they might unwrap today and still treasure years from now.
A Mother + Son Business
House of Tys is run by the two of us — Alison and her son, Tyson.
Behind the website are two real people designing, creating, brainstorming, laughing, changing our minds, trying again, and probably having far too many conversations about fonts.
We work together to create personalized designs that feel warm, thoughtful, modern, and genuinely worth giving.
Because when someone trusts us to create a gift for their wife, husband, child, grandparent, best friend, or someone celebrating a life-changing milestone, we know it isn't just an order.
There is a person and a story behind it.
And that matters to us.
Made With Care, Near and Far
Some of our specialty products are created and finished by us here in Canada, including select recovery and keepsake gifts.
For other products, we work with carefully selected professional production partners who specialize in bringing our designs to life. This allows us to offer a much wider collection of personalized gifts while maintaining the quality and detail we want attached to the House of Tys name.
No matter where your item is produced, the heart behind it begins here.
We create the designs. We choose the details. We build the personalization. And we create each collection with the person receiving it in mind.
Gifts for the Moments That Matter
House of Tys was created especially for family celebrations and meaningful milestones.
We want to help you celebrate the people who make your life what it is.
The new baby who changed everything.
The grandparents whose greatest treasures call them Grandma and Grandpa.
The couple starting their next chapter.
The pet who became family.
The person celebrating another year of recovery.
The husband, wife, mom, dad, son, daughter, friend, or loved one who deserves to be reminded just how much they mean to you.
Those are the moments we design for.
More Than Personalization
For us, personalization isn't simply adding a name to a product.
It's creating something that makes someone stop when they open it.
Something that makes them smile.
Something that might make them laugh, tear up, call someone into the room and say, “Look at this.”
That is what we are always chasing when we create something new.
Because the best gifts don't just say,
“I bought you something.”
They say,
“I know you. I thought about you. And this was made for you.”
Thank you for allowing our little mother-and-son business to be part of your family's biggest moments, smallest celebrations, and everything in between.
With love,
Alison + Tys
