Meet Sara
Hi, I'm Sara!
Born and raised in New York, I spent over a decade in business planning and development for some of the most iconic luxury retailers in the world - Barneys, Louis Vuitton, and Cartier, just to name (drop) a few.
Growing up, I watched my father build and run his own business. At the time, I didn't think much of it, it was just what I knew. Looking back, I realize how much it actually influenced me. While I loved my career in luxury retail, I always imagined that one day I'd build something of my own.
When I was pregnant with my son Max (who is somehow heading to college this fall!), I started thinking about what life would look like balancing being a new mom with a demanding corporate career. Then, during a business trip to Phoenix, I checked into my hotel after a long flight and was greeted with a beautifully curated welcome gift.
And suddenly it clicked.
After doing some research, I discovered there wasn't a company dedicated solely to creating hotel welcome gifts and guest experiences. I saw an opportunity and decided to build it.
That was the beginning of Gracious Goodies.
Nearly two decades later, I've had the privilege of creating gifts for companies, events, celebrations, and milestones of all kinds while raising my children, Max and Sadie, along the way.
Today, Gracious Goodies is built on the belief that thoughtful gifting creates connection, strengthens relationships, and leaves a lasting impression. Whether I'm designing welcome gifts for hotel guests, client appreciation gifts, or something completely custom, my goal is always the same: to make people feel seen, appreciated, and remembered.
Outside of Gracious Goodies, life revolves around family. Between my husband Michael and our kids, there's never a dull moment, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
