Thirty-One Gifts is a small home based business concept that follows the biblical idea from Proverbs 31 that says to “Celebrate, Encourage and Reward Women.” The business specializes in gifts that include embroidery, purses, totes and home décor items that are reasonably priced, usually between $5 and $85.
