In our home I have a special closet with secret gifts inside.  Some are ‘tried and true’ that I have on hand for hostess gifts, sudden birthday parties and thank you gifts.  Others are hand-picked for a friend or relative waiting for an upcoming event or holiday.

The idea for this site came to me because every year before the holidays a few of my close friends would reach out and ask for gift ideas for their Dad, their teenage cousin or even a business colleague.  Every time I would get a request like this, I dropped everything and started searching for ideas.  Doing that kind of deep-dive research is what I live for.

Secret Gift Closet is about sharing my favorite gift ideas from one girlfriend to another.  Over the years I consider it an honor to share my discoveries with my best friends. . . and now you!

And, of course, if you have your own go-to favorites, I hope you will share them here, too.

I truly believe the best gifts are the gifts of time and memories we make together.  I just don’t like to show up empty handed.
