Meet The Team
Harvey is a lifestyle and product-focused journalist who’s been interviewing people from all walks of life for over 15 years. His journey into the gift-giving world began when he started writing a local series on “Gifts that Made a Difference” where he gathered touching stories from readers about the most meaningful gifts they’d ever given or received.
The overwhelming response to the series inspired him to dive deeper into the world of gifting, this time from a community-focused perspective.
What sets Harvey apart is his expertise in research and trend analysis. He actively engages his audience, employing polls and Q&A sessions to gather real-life gifting experiences, which he will share on his blog. This not only provides fresh, practical gift advice but also fosters trust. Harvey’s expertise and experiences showcase a genuine commitment to understanding his readers’ needs.
Emma is a former elementary school teacher who has spent over a decade bringing thoughtfulness to everyday moments.
She started her personal shopping journey by helping friends and family pick products and meaningful gifts for birthdays and holidays, and soon realized she had a knack for it. Her belief in the importance of thoughtful giving shines through in her recommendations, each one chosen with care and purpose.
With a background in education, Emma approaches gift-giving with the same patience and dedication she brought to her classroom. Her experience as a teacher taught her how impactful small gestures can be, especially when they come from the heart. As a gift expert, Emma doesn’t just recommend gifts—she guides her readers to make choices that reflect their feelings.
Emma also runs monthly DIY gift-making workshops for kids and adults, where she combines her teaching experience with her gift expertise. Through her workshops and articles, she shares the joy of giving in a way that’s meaningful, approachable, and easy to apply in real life.
