IN-Person April '21 Lunch - 11:30-1:30 - Topic: The Art of Gifting

Dana Gribble has entrepreneurship in her DNA. A self-described serial entrepreneur with a people focus, Dana's first launch was a tea party business in the 90's. Then, after having been involved in the travel business off and on for over 30 years, Dana opened a successful travel agency here in Austin. And then - COVID. Feeling a need to switch gears, Dana decided to play to her creative side when a friend suggested that she get into the gifting business. 

Sherry Raspa is that friend. Sherry is a later-in-life entrepreneur, having first had a career as a youth minister for over 25 years. Throughout her career, Sherry has been known as a community builder, a connector, and a bridge builder. Her passion - in business and in life - is for every person to know their worth and to know they belong. So, in 2020, the year of COVID, she and Dana began creating a business that says, "I see you. I value you and the relationship I have with you." And Elegance and Whimsy Gifts was born.

Elegance and Whimsy Gifts is a personal and corporate gifting service. From casual and playful to chic and sophisticated, every gift we produce for our clients is custom designed and hand-curated. We like to keep things personal.

In addition to creating beautiful gifts for our clients, we also consult with business owners about how strategic gifting can be used to drive culture, retain clients, and market their business more effectively.
