The Story Of On Many Occasions

For the Planners, The Dreamers, and The Memory Makers.

Life moves fast. One minute you’re planning a first birthday, and the next you’re packing for college. Between the work deadlines, the school runs, and the endless to-do lists, it is easy to let the weeks blur together into a routine of "wake up, work, sleep."

At On Many Occasions, we refuse to let the days just slip by.

We believe that life shouldn't just be marked by the big milestones on the calendar. The real magic of life is found in the Tuesday pizza nights, the handwritten notes left on a pillow, and the unexpected reasons to celebrate.

We believe time flies, but memories stay

Part Reference Library. Part Gift Shop. 100% Dedicated to Joy.

We know you want to be the person who remembers every birthday and throws the best impromptu parties—but you don’t always have the time to scour the internet for hours.

That’s where we come in. Think of us as your Spirited Guide to the calendar.

  • We bring the History: From the profound origins of Mother's Day to the quirky backstory of National Donut Day, we give you the "Why" behind the date.

  • We bring the Inspiration: Recipes, DIYs, and activities that take you from "What do I do?" to "Party Time" in minutes.

  • We bring the Gifts: Our curated shop is filled with tangible reminders of love—from heirloom-quality keepsakes to fun, "just because" surprises.

Meet Our Head of Celebrations

Everyone, meet Manny. 🐧

He’s the guy behind the scenes at On "Manny" Occasions. Why a penguin? Because Manny believes that every day—whether it’s Valentine’s Day or National Pizza Day—deserves a tuxedo. 

He is our "Concierge of Fun." He’s here to make sure you never miss a moment to celebrate. (And honestly, he just looks great in a bow tie). 

Manny's rule is simple: It is not silly to make a big deal out of small things. In fact, it’s classy. 

How Do We Do Things

1. Heart & Heritage ❤️

We honor the big moments. We believe in gifts that tell a story—custom pieces that get passed down, not thrown away. When it matters most, we help you say "I love you" perfectly.

2. Spark & Spontaneity✨

We also believe in being a little silly. Why not celebrate National Talk Like a Pirate Day? We champion the quirky, the weird, and the fun. If it makes you smile, it’s worth celebrating.

3. Action Over Perfection  🛑

You don’t need a Pinterest-perfect house to make a memory. You just need an idea. We prioritize simple, actionable ideas that get you off the screen and into the moment. Messy cookies > No cookies.


Hi, I’m Belle.

I started On Many Occasions because I realized that I was always waiting for Christmas or birthdays to celebrate my family. I wanted to create a space that helped me—and you—find the joy in the ordinary days in between.

As a small family business, I run this business with my teens.  Our mission is simple: to help you connect with the people you love, one day at a time. 

Whether you’re here to find the perfect anniversary gift or just looking for an excuse to eat cake for breakfast, I’m glad you’re here.

Don’t Just Mark the Date. Make the Day.
