✨ I am SO thrilled to finally share the new logo for Grand Unveiling! ✨
As I contemplated sharing my passion for gifting on a wider scale, I stumbled upon a story about Cleopatra that has long captivated me. Legend tells of her ingenious plan to both present herself and offer a gift to Caesar: rolled into a carpet that was delivered to his quarters. When the carpet unfurled, the Egyptian queen emerged — a grand surprise that sparked both a personal and diplomatic relationship.
That iconic act of surprise and connection is the very namesake of Grand Unveilings.
Our new logo carries this layered meaning: a partially rolled rug, revealing an Egyptian-inspired motif of royalty. At its center stands the vulture, symbol of Cleopatra, embodying power and protection. Woven into the design, “GU” appears as if painted with a reed brush — intentionally imperfect, reflecting the artistry and humanity behind every gift I curate.
This is more than a logo. It’s a story of unveiling, of connection, and of gifts that shape relationships.
THE RIGHT GIFT TELLS A STORY
What does Emily Dickinson, bread, the 1865 Cattle Show, and Taylor Swift have to do with gifting?

Ordinary Objects, Extraordinary Journeys: Gifting Anthony Bourdain
An antique travel trunk from Ellis Island tells the story of ordinary people who did something extraordinarily brave, the kind of people Anthony Bourdain was drawn to. For Bourdain, it becomes more than luggage — it’s a mirror of his life’s work: carrying stories across borders.
