Proposed Update: Ownership of Personal Creations and Gifts.com
[edit]| This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
I would like to propose an update to the History/Brands section of this article to reflect the current ownership of Personal Creations and Gifts.com. I am affiliated with the acquiring company and am therefore requesting the edit rather than making it directly.
Proposed update
[edit]The article currently discusses Personal Creations and Gifts.com under the historical ownership of Provide Commerce/FTD. Both brands were acquired by PlanetArt in 2019 and are now part of the PlanetArt portfolio.
Suggested wording:
- “In August 2019, Personal Creations, an online personalized gifting retailer, and its associated brand Gifts.com were acquired by PlanetArt, a subsidiary of the Claranova group, from FTD Companies. This acquisition moved ownership of these brands out of the Provide Commerce/FTD portfolio and into PlanetArt’s personalized e-commerce business.”[1][2]
Rationale
[edit]The current article reflects past ownership of Personal Creations and Gifts.com by Provide Commerce/FTD but does not reflect the change in ownership that occurred in 2019. Updating this information improves the article’s accuracy and provides a complete historical timeline of these brands’ ownership.

Note: Can you reword this to be more encyclopedic and less corporate sounding? Likeanechointheforest (talk) 16:14, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
