It was a very special morning at Mud Pie HQ! Today we held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the official opening of our new outdoor patio, built by our very own Steve Bulla and his incredible team. Together as a company, we were able to honor their hard work, and we all look forward to gathering together to enjoy the sunny days ahead! This space will be used by all Mud Pie employees to step away, connect and enjoy some fresh air throughout the day. Thank you, Steve and team!

It is with great pride that we share that Mud Pie has been named a first-ever Diamond Honoree at the 2026 Retailer Excellence Awards! This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Gifts & Decorative Accessories Magazine Retailer Excellence Awards—the gift industry’s most illustrious awards ceremony. To make the celebration special, the magazine is calling attention to the retailers, manufacturers, sales rep agencies and influencers who have helped both the magazine and the industry succeed throughout the decades. Gifts & Decorative Accessories notes, “Not only have retailers given Mud Pie their kudos over the years, but the company itself has grown, adapted, and expanded to meet ongoing buyer and consumer needs. Expanding into new categories, like baby gifts and toys, Mud Pie has succeeded over the last several decades because of its constant drive, trendy gifts and apparel and relationships with its retailers.” Mud Pie has also received the most REA nominations since the award program began recognizing Manufacturer of the Year. We recognize the decades of dedication to excellence and innovation that propelled us to where we are today and made this honor possible. Our talented team at Mud Pie and the customers we serve are what makes every day a gift, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude by this honor. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gc77cPPe

We’re officially open! Last week at Atlanta Market, the Mud Pie team came together for a ribbon cutting to officially celebrate the grand opening of our new flagship showroom on the 18th floor of AmericasMart Atlanta | ANDMORE®. This joyous occasion would not be possible without the hard work from our dedicated showroom team, sales and customer experience team, and design team, who worked tirelessly over the last several months to take the space from bare bones to a wonderland of retail inspiration. Cheers to new beginnings!

Congratulations to our own Alissa Kanso, who was honored yesterday at Atlanta Market as one of this year’s 2026 Gift + Stationery Spotlight Awards winners.
