Bert Anderson

Bert Anderson has been producing whimsical designs for the gift industry for over 25 years. Starting in the early 90’s with limited edition Santa figurines, he now concentrates on a wide variety of ornaments for the souvenir/resort market.

While most of his current line depicts North American wildlife, he likes to venture into ‘niche’ items that many larger companies may dismiss. So in addition to bear, moose, elk and other wildlife, there are also aliens, bigfoot, Abe Lincoln and Santa in a bathtub! He also does custom items with low minimums. Some of the companies that he’s designed ornaments for include Las Vegas’ Venetian and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Have an idea for an ornament or other custom piece? Give the shop a call and we can talk.

Probably the biggest boost to his business was when he started offering free personalization with no minimum order. So now any shop can have their state, their National Park, their town or their business name written on a whimsical best-seller without the worry of minimum orders or minimum quantities. His items can be found in the temporaries at the Las Vegas World Market Expo building, the Las Vegas Souvenir show and the Smoky Mountain Gift Show in Gatlinburg. Or call 800962-9122 and we’ll send you a catalog.
