cultivating connection through gifting with style & intention🥂✨
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
This part of my story honestly feels like a dream to me. 💭📖

I started Gift Muse just shy of four years ago with a very rough business plan, a lot of determination, and a little bit of delusion. It has not been easy and at every bump and turn in the road I have nurtured this little dream of mine to grown into more and more of a reality. 

It feels surreal to finally officially announce something that I have hoped and dreamed of accomplishing since the start of my business. My very first official Rebrand 🥂🥂 (finally kissing homemade logos goodbye😘😘)!! 

My gorgeous new brand was created by the immensely and phenomenally talented Riley of @goodmooddesignco and it is more than I truly could ever ask for. Riley was incredible and helped me create a brand that represents not only my ethos for the heart of my business but is also a little bit of myself. 

Gift giving is a celebration of life and way to show appreciation for those around you. For me gifts represent a way to build relationships and say things when words cannot. 

To show your love and care for those who matter most to you in a tangible, thoughtful, and beautiful way. I am so blessed to be able to continue to serve my clients and help facilitate joy in their relationships!! 

As I open this new beautiful chapter of the business I just want to say ✨✨ thank you so much✨✨ for being a part of my story and for supporting a delusional, scrappy, and determined gal by helping her make her dreams come true. 

It is truly one of the greatest gifts I have ever or could ever receive! 🫂🫂

xoxo, 
your Gift Muse Katelyn

Let’s make one thing clear, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.......
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sure, DIY-ing may seem like an easier less costly option at first glance but there are many cases when hiring a professional can save you money, time, and above all peace of mind.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why is that exactly? Simply more often than not it pays to make your problem someone else’s (especially someone who has experience in doing what you want to do)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to gifting there are truly a myriad of questions that need to be answered for example:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤔 Does what you’re giving tell the right story?
🤔 How do you source quality items?
🤔 How do you package things to withstand UPS and USPS driver’s rage? (love them but they tend to be rough on stuff)
🤔Do you want to take up an entire room in your house with supplies for yet another project you may or may not complete?
🤔What happens when and if you order the incorrect size and or quantity of something? (this is easier to do than you think trust me)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to gifting, save yourself the DIY headache and let us handle the big picture and tedious details so you can sit back, relax, and wait for happy texts from those who matter most.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
xoxo,
Gift Muse

📚✒️ ATTN: Members of the board we call this meeting into session to instruct you on how to prepare for the ultimate TPD girl’s night in style! 📚✒️ 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As we approach midnight we’ve taken the liberty of curating some essentials to set the mood for the perfect aesthetic and emotionally turbulent album listening experience. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As you ponder and explore the great poets latest works may we recommend the following 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✒️ Sipping on  Gerard Bertrand Gris Blanc Rose from an ashen Estelle Colored Glass Wine Glass Set
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✒️ Pampering your lips with the Summer Friday’s Lip Butter Balm and cozying up with the Oversized Cozy Knit Throw Blanket
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✒️ Lighting up a Brooklyn Candle Studio in the scent Palo Santo to cleanse your space while you keep those aesthetically pleasing tissues handy 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We hope you can use our recommendations to enhance your listening experience no matter where you are!  We will meet you when our Tortured Muse calls the board into session! Until then 🩶🩶🩶

I’m a ✨✨ lucky girl ✨✨ because I get to work with incredible clients like @thehazelclubphoto to bring client gifting dreams to life!! 

Gifts are always one of my absolute favorite projects here’s why 

✨ surprise and delight: truly the gift that keeps on giving bc it’s a circle of joy! I love helping my clients deliver and design gifts that will wow their clients. It makes me sooo happy!!

✨ upping the ante for my clients: custom gift design in my very biased opinion is the piece de resistance for next level customer experience and with their branding curated gifts hit different 

✨design: it makes my heart sing to curate an experience that makes people feel joy! Every detail and aspect of packaging is considered in my gift design. You’ll have no cookie cutter experiences here!! 

Any who that’s enough for me! Keep it classy and sassy my dears ✨🫶🏻

You make sure I drink enough water and get enough hugs every day and that’s all a girl could ask for 🤍🤍 here’s to the next zillion more my love @tckilburn 🥂

Also FOREVER grateful for the amazing team of vendors who made this day magical and one to remember

On the top list of things I’ll never be over? 📝

Event design that is just as unique and as fun and the people behind the scenes! Thinking outside of the box when it comes to design gives your event some secret sauce in my opinion

When @whitney.thegatheringco came to me and said she wanted to do a fun 90s inspired shoot and juxtapose bold bright colors with sophistication and style my wheels immediately started to turn 

What came of that conversation was pure magic! 🤍 not to mention we truly had one ABSOLUTE DREAM of a vendor team for this one. Ladies tysmm for being a sheer LIGHT to work with. I am so grateful for y’all 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

p.s always more color in weddings PLEASE

2022 a year of bold risks and rewards! This year has been absolutely one of the wildest and best years of my life. 

🍾 I got married to the love of my life (more on that to come) 
🍾quit my 9-5 to jump into the ocean of entrepreneurship
🍾 got so many amazing new gifting clients 
🍾 did my first handful of weddings for paper goods and signage 
🍾 really really realized that I actually have a business 😂😅🤣 (no thanks to imposter syndrome) 

There’s no knowing what lies ahead but whatever it is I’m here to embrace it with open arms. If you’re here watching this know I appreciate your love and support of my small business SO MUCH! Words cannot describe how infinitely grateful I am for this community and for my clients and followers. I couldn’t do any of this without ya 🥹🤍

Wishing you all peace and prosperity in 2023 but in the meantime 🎊🎊

Cheers to 2022 she was a sweet one 🍾🥂🤍

Brb just daydreaming about our limited edition zodiac candle collab with @ck.creations 💭💭✨✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had so much fun during this shoot and curating these candles. Each zodiac sign had its own signature scent, wooden wick and flower petals sprinkled on the top. In short it was so very dreamy and fun!! @mad_creates_  also did such a great job bringing our vision to life! 

Can’t wait to show you what’s up our sleeves this summer 🎉🎉 by @shopgiftmuse

It's time for our first ever client spotlight 🎉🎉🎉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My business revolves around curating intentional gifts and going above for my clients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 There is so much that goes on in this process and because of this it can be quite hard to bring you all along in all the fun. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As an effort to draw back the curtain I am going to be doing a series showcasing a glimpse of the curation process
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That brings me to one of the most recent client gifting projects I did for @thegatheringco and I am OBSESSED 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I think of the Gathering Co I think of intentional, beautiful, and modern weddings and events.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To me, this design was all about making things minimal, beautiful, modern and very fun!! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope you enjoy a glimpse of this project!! Get ready to see some more client showcases coming your way in the near future. 💛💛 by @shopgiftmuse
