Christine Curavo
Small Business Owner in San Francisco, California
I began my career producing events for Apple Computer. That's when I realized how much I loved to surprise and delight people with gorgeous graphics, special invitations and intriguing gifts. I went on to start a successful event design firm and traveled the world producing large incentive events in amazing locations—like Paris, Sydney and Vienna. I especially loved that moment when guests got their first glimpse of an experience they were invited to attend and then knowing they would return to their room later to find an extraordinary gift waiting for them.
I enjoyed gift giving so much, I founded a company called CAREBOX and created a line of stylish gifts to celebrate life events—a birth, a new job, a home or a holiday. I found fun new ways to say "thank you,” “congratulations” or “you’re awesome."
My goal is to be a gift-giving resource for people who are looking to give premium gifts that are well presented, classy and easily delivered.
I share tips on the etiquette of gift giving through a series of newsletters and articles and have been published as a SheKnows expert.
If you find you need guidance on what to give to a host when traveling abroad, let me know—my international protocol skills are always in demand.
