I began creating gift baskets and hand-made souvenirs during the pandemic lockdown. I would gather items I knew the recipient would enjoy—whether it was a birthday, a milestone, or just because—and assemble a care package to leave on their porch in the absence of not being able to gather during a time of prioritizing safety and health.

People would compliment the thoughtfulness that went into creating the gift, so I took the concept and began sharing ideas on social media. I show you how to gather ordinary items and turn it into something extraordinary and special to gift to significant people in your life.
