“Human beings are forgetting how to give gifts…Real gift-giving had its happiness in imagining the happiness of the receiver. It meant choosing, spending time, going out of one’s way, thinking of the other as the subject” – Theodor Adorno

There is a philosophy to gift-giving, and also a complexity to it. It can involve social obligation, building relationships, and expressing values. But whatever the occasion. Whatever the reason, sometimes we need a little help. Sometimes going to a big retail store or buying a shiny thing online just doesn’t feel enough, even if the price does. Good gift giving requires thoughtfulness. It requires intention, and an understanding of the person receiving the gift. It can involve asking the right questions, sifting through events and memories as if panning for gold to finally reach the perfect nugget of a gift. And sometimes it can involve heavy research. And that is where I come in.

And this is me! Hello!

Why Choose Me

A list may be helpful here…

• I ask questions. I engage; provoke thought, memories, and elicit strong emotions to help find options for a great gift.
• I lead with kindness and compassion. I want you, the giver, to have just as a memorable experience as the person receiving the gift
• I present options. Let me acquire the gift for you. Let me send ideas. Let me introduce you to people who may also be of service.
• After 15 years in the Hospitality industry, I know a lot of people. Jewelers, rare book dealers, artists open for commission, bar and restaurant owners. Let me connect you with people who do amazing things to get you a one-of-a-kind gift or experience.
• I care. I listen. This may sound trivial, but great gift giving requires both.
