About Us

Our story
Excess inventory does not have to be a markdown problem.
I founded Gifting Brands with a simple belief: excess inventory can become meaningful impact.
Today, we partner with jewelry, accessory, and beauty brands nationwide to redirect surplus and new collections into vetted 501(c)(3) charity fundraising events across the country.
Every partnership is handled personally and with care. Our model is simple, respectful of your team's time, and designed to protect your brand while delivering real community impact.
A personal invitation
If you are deciding what to do with surplus inventory, setting aside part of a new collection, or aligning your product strategy with ESG priorities, I would welcome a direct conversation.
Whether you are starting with one box or building a longer term impact plan, I am happy to talk through what makes sense for your brand. You may also hear from one of our board members, who help me with brand partnerships.
