Rachel started The Meaningful Gifts after years of frustration with generic gift guides that prioritized trends over thoughtfulness. As a former lifestyle editor and self-proclaimed "memory hoarder," she believes the best gifts aren't the most expensive — they're the ones that make people feel seen. When she's not testing products or interviewing artisans, you'll find her reorganizing photo albums or convincing friends that yes, the packaging matters.
