ABOUT ME

Hello, I’m Allison, the founder of GFTD (gifted). After a nearly 30-year career in textiles, where I honed my skills in sourcing, designing, and curating, I realized I was ready for a new chapter—one that could have a more personal impact on people’s lives. That’s when I decided to start GFTD, a company that allows me to combine my creative passion with my love for making others feel valued through the art of gifting.

At GFTD, I focus on curating unique, high-end gift collections that tell a story. Whether you’re looking for a personal gift to mark a special occasion or sourcing corporate gifts to show appreciation, each collection is thoughtfully designed to bring joy and meaning.

As a mom of two university students, a wife of almost 30 years, and a proud dog and cat mom, I understand how busy life can get. I want to make gifting easy and enjoyable for people like you—professional women who need a reliable and trusted partner to help simplify their gifting needs.

GFTD is also deeply committed to supporting other women-owned businesses. I take pride in sourcing many of our products from small, Canadian, women-owned companies, ensuring that when you choose GFTD, you’re not just giving a beautiful gift—you’re uplifting a community of talented women.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your gifting experience. I believe gifting brings happiness, and I’m so excited to share that joy with you.

THE GFTD EXPERIENCE

What We Do Differently

At GFTD, we believe gifting should be an experience, not just an exchange. Each gift we curate goes beyond the ordinary and is designed to be personal, thoughtful, and inspiring. Our goal is simple: to make your recipients feel a genuine connection to their gift, evoking emotions of joy & gratitude.

We bring this vision to life by engaging all five senses—sight, touch, smell, taste, and sound. Our gifts look beautiful, combining colours and textures that invite exploration. We select products with scents that perfectly capture the season, like the warm aroma of cinnamon in the fall. Each collection includes a treat to tantalize the taste buds and to complete the experience, a custom Spotify playlist accompanies every gift to create a memorable unboxing experience. It’s more than just a gift—it’s a moment to remember.
