Nice to meet you (sort of). I’ve been an editor here at Giftsicle since 2018 and became the official Senior Editor of all things gifts, gifting etiquette and party planning in 2021.
I love all things shopping and pride myself on always picking out the best gifts ever (well, except that one time). I spend my days basically shopping online for all sorts of things that I ideally would want myself, but then totally know that it’s rude to strictly by for myself, so I started gifting almost everything I would buy to other people in my life. Now, here we are and I’m pretty much paid to shop. It’s kind of a dream come true.
In addition to gift guides, I pride myself on helping to answer all those gifting etiquette questions that pop-up throughout the year (like what do you do if the invitation says “no gifts required”), coming up with really thoughtful messages you can add to any of your greeting cards, and fun ways to plan a variety of parties and events for all ages.
Outside of shopping I’m obsessed with just about every reality show there is, have been into yoga for the past 3.5 years (and counting), and drink more coffee than I believe is legally acceptable. I once auditioned for an open call of a Broadway show on a dare and, well, here I am…not on Broadway.
Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions about a gift I’m recommending or just want to vent your frustration in general (don’t worry, I sift though plenty of those kind of emails too). If you’re a PR friend and want to send me a product or gift to check out and potentially cover, this is the best way to go about that. Email me here!
