I started Our Gift Biz knowing there was a need to fill a void in the gift industry. Shy of a personal shopper, many business professionals find themselves out of time, energy and ideas when finding gifts for clients and loved ones. Having a corporate background and understanding the subtle etiquette surrounding gift-giving, I started Our Gift Biz as the solution. It was important for me to be a custom boutique gift business where we interact with our clients and really develop a relationship with them, so every gift includes that personal flare often missing in mass produced gifts and baskets.

I have a large family with 38 nephews and nieces and gift-giving used to be a daunting task.  Scouting around malls for the perfect gift is not my idea of fun.  But traveling is one of my passions and attending food and gift shows across the nation affords me the luxury to see how people do this in other parts of the US.  I enjoy learning about my vendors and what encouraged them to start their businesses.  I love buying from vendors that have a great story – especially when they have an eco-friendly or organic product that is fun, different, new and noteworthy.  We have great vendors and I get excited about telling their story to my clients.

Another thing that turns me on is our clients really like what we do for them.  We get so many thank you’s and notes of appreciation.  I feel I have the best job in the world. And I am totally intrigued by business and marketing and get a kick out of what makes commerce work well. So I love being in the midst of all of this.

Getting calls from companies that are looking for the perfect gift, but are stymied with where to begin energizes me. I have become an expert in solving their dilemmas and making them shine. The design element of our creations is over the top. We do some large designs for Live Auctions for Fund Raisers around DC and this is fun, exciting and exhilarating.  Some of the designs are 3 ft x 3 ft.  This stretches us as designers and keep us grounded knowing what we do helps bring money to organizations whose needs are great.

I invite you to call us and see what you think. We are a great resource to know about and I am sure you will become a “raving fan” and love how we take the guesswork out of gift-giving.
My best,
