WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER!

You can make a difference by joining the movement with Gifting Brands to uplift women and children in need and make the world a better place for everyone.

Gifting Brands was started by a group of retail leaders who found a creative way to solve the problem of excess inventory while also adding value to retailers, consumers, and nonprofits.

Gifting Brands improves the lives of women, children, and families through a unique consumer shopping experience combining the power of upscale retail brands, sustainable inventory solutions, and philanthropy.

FOR SHOPPERS

Gifting Brands creates a fun-fulfilling place for you to shop for designer brands at great prices and your purchase goes to charity.

FOR COMMUNITIES

Through our select charity partners you are able to directly impact, empower, and support the lives of women, children and families.

FOR BRANDS

Through our inventory philanthropy model, we give retailers a sustainable, charitable method of managing their inventory, reducing environmental impacts and connecting them with consumers who care.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Jeannie Barsam, Founder & CEO

Jeannie started Gifting Brands because she wanted to help women, children and families in need. She created a unique non-profit e-commerce website for consumers to purchase designer and luxury brands at a discount and every dollar of profit goes to charities that are making a difference in the world.

When you help one child you can change a whole generation! By shopping at Gifting Brands, you can make a difference in a child’s life whether that is a better education, getting out of poverty, or saving them from trafficking or domestic violence. We can all make a difference together.

Gifting Brands is focused on giving luxury, designer, private label brands a new way to make an impact in the world through Inventory Philanthropy. We are committed to helping nonprofits, retailers, and consumers make a difference in the world.

Gifting Brands is a 501c3 nonprofit.
