What to expect at CHARIS
From the moment you arrive, CHARIS offers a guided experience. Through our gifting concierge, you are led toward objects that speak to your intention—whether to honor a milestone, express devotion, or carry memory forward. Every stage, from selection to presentation, is designed so that what you give is not only beautiful in form, but lasting in meaning.
The origin story of CHARIS
CHARIS began at a holiday table, when its founder searched for gifts that carried both beauty and meaning. What she found instead was a marketplace saturated with things—poorly made, poorly packaged, and emotionally empty. Nothing met the standard of dignity she wanted to give.
Out of that gap came CHARIS: a platform built to restore weight and presence to the act of giving.
Our philosophy of symbolic gifting
A real gift is more than an item. It is a marker of relationship, of transition, of memory. At CHARIS, every object is chosen for what it can symbolize: a textile to offer rest, a pendant to seal reconciliation, a pen to witness across generations.
We offer fewer things by design. Each piece is selected for emotional weight, material integrity, and the ability to become part of a personal story. The aim is not volume, but significance.
Gifting through CHARIS is not a transaction. It is a way of shaping memory.
