When the Gift Wrapper Is the Gift Giver

By Contributing Writer: Stacie Holt Eley

Wrapping for others is joy, and wrapping presents for people I love brings that joy to a new level. As a luxury gift wrapper, taking the time to ensure I convey my clients’ wishes through a beautifully wrapped gift brings me so much happiness. I take pride in making sure the right color and sized bow matches the right paper coupled with the best embellishments – elevating any gifting occasion! I love creating these moments and when I find myself as the gift giver, it’s even more exciting. When wrapping a gift for someone I love, the wrapping is the easy part. Instead, I often find myself stressing over what to actually give! In comes To and From. As a minority small business owner, patronizing similar businesses is important to me. Knowing I have a company I can turn to for help with curating specialized gifts that also shows me brand business categories, has been a true game changer. I love that I can search for gifts that match my personal mission, supporting other founders of color, and that To&From has done the hard work to curate only the best brands. 

I’m excited to share To&From with you and wanted to share the personalized list of gifts I’ve curated for the important people in my life – from my adult children to my mom and dad! I hope you find the gifts you are looking for this season, and if you need help with the wrapping, you know who to call!
