Thank you!

I just want to take a moment to say thank you. ❤️

To everyone who thinks of me when you need to send something special to a family member, friend, coworker, or client — it truly means more to me than you know.

Victorian Charm Gifts has always been about more than simply putting together a gift. I love creating something personal, adding those special little touches, and knowing that what I’ve created is going to make someone smile.

And when you come back to me again, share my posts, tell someone about my business, or refer a friend or family member to me — that is such a wonderful compliment.

As a small business owner, every order and every referral matters. You are helping me continue doing something I truly love, and I never take that support for granted.
So, from me personally, thank you for trusting me with your gifts, your special occasions, and those little “just because” moments. Thank you for supporting my little business and helping it continue to grow. 🤎

And remember, if you need something special — big or small — just reach out. We’ll create something together

If CEO Playdate were a person…

She’s fun. A little sassy. And allergic to surface-level networking.

She’s the friend who says, “Okay, but how are you REALLY doing?” before you’ve even finished your first coffee.

She likes her Fridays with a little caffeine buzz, a scrumptious scone, and conversations that go somewhere.

She’s here to meet new people, but she’s not collecting business cards or giving you a rehearsed elevator pitch. She wants to know what you’re building, what’s keeping you up at night, what you’re excited about, and probably what you’re scared to admit out loud.

She’s a San Diego founder, somewhere around years 1–3 of business. She’s ambitious as f*ck, still figuring some shit out, and knows she doesn’t want to figure it all out alone.

She wants connection. Depth. New biz besties. Maybe a collaboration she didn’t see coming.

And she definitely doesn’t mind being called a bitch. 🖤

She’s CEO Playdate.

Coffee. Connection. A little depth. A lot less boring networking.

The kind of Friday morning that leaves you walking out with a buzz that has very little to do with the caffeine.

Happy Friday 🤍

This morning I’m taking a quiet moment in my living room… coffee in hand, candles lit, just soaking it all in.
Sometimes it’s nice to pause and take inventory of what we already have—the little comforts, the cozy corners, the simple things that make a house feel like home.

That’s really where Victorian Charm Gifts begins for me… creating pieces and gift baskets that bring that same feeling to someone else. A little warmth, a little beauty, a little thoughtfulness all wrapped together.

If you’re thinking of someone today (or even refreshing a space of your own), I’d love to help you put something special together 🤍

🌟 A Little Christmas Magic to Share

The Christmas season is beginning to twinkle, and I wanted to share something close to my heart.

During a recent conversation with my coach, we talked about how small gestures can spark the spirit of giving. It brought back a memory from a few years ago—one that still inspires me today.

A client had just begun working in the hospice field and reached out, hoping to bring a bit of Christmas cheer to her patients. Many of them couldn’t have a large tree or décor in their rooms, so she asked if I could create something special. That request led to the very first miniature decorated Christmas tree I ever made.

I placed a few in my shop as well, and before long, customers fell in love with them. Travelers took them along to brighten hotel rooms. Others used them to decorate small spaces at home where a full-sized tree wouldn’t fit. Each tree found its own meaningful place, bringing joy and warmth in the most personal ways.

This story has stayed with me, and it’s the reason these miniature trees hold such a special place in my heart.

🌟 Bring a little sparkle into someone’s holiday.

Our hand-decorated miniature Christmas trees are back for the season—perfect for gifting, traveling, brightening small spaces, or simply spreading joy wherever they’re placed.

If you have questions on the mini trees or would like a custom piece, simply visit my website at www.victoriancharmgifts.com.

I’m here to help bring your vision to life. 🌟

Every basket takes time and a few re-stagings before it feels just right. Sometimes I’ll let one sit for a day or two so I can come back with fresh eyes and rearrange until every ribbon and detail feels perfect. ✨💝
