Basics with Barb
Custom laser-engraved gifts and keepsakes made with heart
Custom laser-engraved gifts and keepsakes made with heart
Barb MacMillan has always had a creative spirit. From sewing clothes for her children to quilting vibrant patterns by hand, crafting has been a lifelong passion woven through every stage of her life. Over time, her creative path expanded into sign making, custom t-shirt design, and a wide range of DIY projects — always driven by her love of learning and trying something new.
That same curiosity eventually led Barb to the world of laser engraving, where she discovered the perfect fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. What began as an interest quickly grew into Basic with Barb, her custom engraving business that brings meaningful ideas to life. From personalized cutting boards and wedding signs to custom jewelry and keepsakes, each item is thoughtfully designed to mark a moment or memory.
Barb continues to grow with every creation, embracing new tools, materials, and designs along the way. Her work reflects not only her skill and attention to detail, but also her heartfelt belief that creativity should evolve with us. Whether it’s a gift, a family heirloom, or a piece for your home, every item from Basic with Barb tells a story — one that’s made to last.
