Our Story 

ZoocomingTree's journey began in 2001, a year forever etched in the hearts of Americans as a time of profound sorrow. The tragic events of 9/11 claimed countless lives and left deep scars on many souls.

In the shadow of such heartache, the business landscape felt daunting and uncertain. Yet, it was in this challenging time that Terry and Kristine, the founders of ZoocomingTree, found the courage to plant the seeds of their dream. 

 We started by designing and crafting handbags, pouring our hearts into creating unique shapes of handbags, messenger bags, and lunch bags from a myriad of fabrics. Each stitch was a testament to our resilience, and despite the challenging environment, our unwavering passion slowly began to bear fruit.

Then came 2019—a year that tested us all in unimaginable ways due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a time filled with sadness and uncertainty, where many felt lost and alone. Yet, it was also during this period that ZoocomingTree found its new voice as a Stationery brand.

 

Our Philosophy

We discovered an essential truth: beautifully designed, high-quality products can bring moments of joy and solace to people during their darkest days. Our stationery items are not just products; they are tools that ignite creativity and inspire hope.

With our vibrant planners, laptop cases, and binders, we aim to spark inspiration in every user, helping them capture their thoughts and dreams. These creative outlets provide a much-needed escape from stress and bring joy to everyday life.

Over the past 5 years, we have been blessed to operate our stationery store on Etsy, where we’ve met incredible customers and shared meaningful conversations. Each interaction has been a reminder of the beauty of connection, and we are deeply grateful to Etsy for providing us with such a wonderful platform.

 

 

 

Our Inspiration

Reflecting on The Giving Tree—a cherished story from our childhood—reminds us of the profound lessons it imparts. At its core lies a tale of unconditional love and selfless sacrifice; a tree gives everything for the happiness of a boy.

The most poignant aspect of The Giving Tree is the enduring value of relationships. The bond between the tree and the boy remains steadfast through time, teaching us that while material possessions may fade away, true connections can last forever.

 

Our Vision

In many ways, ZoocomingTree embodies the spirit of The Giving Tree. We have come to understand that every business ultimately exists to serve its customers.

Our strength does not come from outpacing competitors but from our genuine desire to uplift and support those we serve. As we embark on this new chapter with our personal website, we are filled with excitement and hope.

We look forward to sharing fresh ideas that resonate with you and creating products that bring joy and inspiration—just as the tree selflessly gave to the boy. Together, let’s nurture connections that matter and celebrate the beauty of giving in all its forms.
