It's no exaggeration. Every Lee Michaels box has a story. Because every day, momentous occasions occur in our customers' live ... s, whether a birthday, anniversary, engagement, marriage, birth of a child, promotion, or a graduation. Every day, someone we know now, or a new customer we'll meet, has a reason to celebrate. Some moments are shared publicly; some are very intimate — private celebrations of hard won personal victories or personal displays of love's lasting power. In any event and for every event, Lee Michaels is prepared to make the moment your box is opened an unforgettable one. Lee and Brenda Berg first opened the doors of their original Baton Rouge store in 1978.
