"LightBoxforYou" brand history
Hello, my name is Vitaliy, and I’m the founder of LightBoxforYou. I’m an immigrant from Ukraine who started this business in early 2023, working out of a small garage in my home in Mission, British Columbia, Canada.
Before this, I had over 10 years of experience as an entrepreneur, running a business with more than 70 employees. One of the most valuable lessons I learned in that time is that any success or joy in business is all about people—your team. When I had to move to a new country, I knew I wanted to continue building a business that focused on helping companies nurture strong, positive relationships with their employees, partners, and clients. This vision became the foundation of LightBoxforYou.
We started out by making LED awards, which people purchased on platforms like Etsy and Amazon as gifts for themselves or colleagues. After serving over 1,300 customers, it became clear that we wanted to offer something even more impactful—custom corporate gifts that go beyond just awards. We aimed to create memorable, high-quality gifts that help companies show appreciation and strengthen bonds with their team members.
Since then, we’ve expanded our product line to include over 300 different customizable options for corporate gifts. Today, we have loyal clients across Canada and the U.S., and we see an exciting opportunity to make a positive impact in the corporate gifting market worldwide. What started as a small garage operation has now grown into a fully equipped workshop where we can bring our clients’ visions to life.
Our team has grown to include talented designers and project managers with years of experience, all dedicated to delivering the highest level of service and craftsmanship. And the best part is, this is just the beginning. We’re committed to continually improving, to delighting our customers, and to helping our clients build teams that feel like family.
