Hi there, I’m Kelsey, a professionally trained gift wrapper and designer. I have traveled the world to curate a luxurious collection of papers, ribbons and embellishments—with the singular mission of spreading joy.

As a seasoned public relations practitioner and event planner, I’ve had some incredible, fun and downright sexy jobs. I’ve been fortunate to represent and help create memorable campaigns for some of Detroit’s biggest brands, organizations, businesses and people. Every client, project, product launch and press kit had one thing in common: they all contained an element that required a thoughtful, cohesively designed gift and presentation. And guess who was responsible for said gifting? This gal. It was almost a guilty pleasure seeing faces light up with big smiles, hearing the gasps, the ooohs and always some version of “Wow! Is this for me? It’s too pretty. I don’t want to open it!”

Then it clicked: people are happiest when they are giving or receiving a gift. It’s the best. Even if it’s a sympathy gift, there’s so much love and good intention behind it, you feel comforted and honored by receiving it—or delighted for giving such a thoughtful token.

And so, Give Wrapped was born, bringing the joy to all gifting experiences.

Thank you for inviting Give Wrapped to be a conduit for giving and receiving your most precious moments.

Kelsey Hartung, Chief Gift Designer
