Journey
Trestle Bridge Gifts was born from the heart and hands of Brandy, a proud veteran, devoted mother, and woman of color with a passion for creating warmth and comfort through handcrafted goods.
After years of military service, Brandy found peace and purpose in the quiet moments at home—pouring candles, blending soothing shea butters, and crafting artisan soaps for her loved ones. What started as simple gifts for family and friends soon became something more. Each time she watched her loved ones smile as they opened a homemade candle or bar of soap, she realized that what she was really giving wasn’t just a product—it was care, comfort, and connection.
In 2025, inspired by those moments and her family’s encouragement, Brandy founded Trestle Bridge Gifts, named after the enduring bridges that symbolize strength, resilience, and connection—values that mirror her own journey. Every candle poured and every bar of soap made carries that same spirit of craftsmanship, gratitude, and love.
As a veteran-owned, woman-led small business, Brandy takes pride in creating products that reflect her belief that self-care is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Through Trestle Bridge Gifts, she hopes to bring a touch of peace, a spark of joy, and a reminder that even small acts of kindness can build lasting bridges between hearts.
