The deal was announced last month when the gift retailer filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in an effort to facilitate the sale.

Enesco CEO Todd Mavis said: “Things Remembered is an ideal complement to our business, and we are excited about working with Things Remembered president and CEO Nelson Tejada and his team as they build on their more than half century of leadership in the personalised merchandise space.

“With Things Remembered’s personalisation capabilities, we will offer the market unique and compelling products and services.”

“We are confident that we now have the right operational and financial structure in place to drive sustainable growth in the months and years to come.”
