About Us

Women Owned, Local Roots

We’re Jill Edwards and Margaret Steele - the team behind

The Gift Closet.

What started as a simple idea has grown into a joyful space where kids can explore, choose, and give with confidence. We believe that the act of giving is powerful, and when children get to experience it for themselves, something meaningful happens: they learn independence, kindness, and pride in their choices.

Thoughtful gifts. Happy kids. A community that feels connected.

That’s what inspires us every single day.

We’re so glad you’re here 🤍

The Gift Closet is a locally owned gift boutique filled with playful finds, thoughtful gifts, and little everyday delights for all ages. From sensory toys and stationery to jewelry, candles, and seasonal surprises, we make gifting fun and affordable.
