GCI (Gift Creations Inc.)

Gift Creations Inc., often abbreviated as GCI, manufactured metal souvenir pins for Hard Rock Cafe from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. Stamps on the backs of the pins indicated their countries of origin and led Hard Rock collectors to consider the GCI business as three distinct manufacturer brands:

1. Gift Creations Taiwan (GCT): Early pins manufactured in Taiwan.
2. Gift Creations China (GCC): Later pins manufactured in China.
3. Gift Creations Inc. (GCI): Also produced in China, typically with a specific G.C.I. back stamp.
