Keandra Edwards

Keandra Edwards knows a thing or two about finding gifts that actually land. Based in Chicago and originally from Columbus, Ohio, she studied Consumer Behavior at Ohio State before spending three years as a product buyer — which is basically where she learned that most people shop on instinct and return on disappointment. Now a curator and author at GiftScores, she's spent over 11 years hunting down novelty, humor-driven, and genuinely useful gifts for the people nobody knows how to shop for. Her seasonal guide work once drove a 34% traffic spike for a Chicago lifestyle publication, and she's consulted on product selections for two subscription gift services reaching more than 18,000 subscribers combined. She once spent three weeks testing novelty kitchen gadgets and accidentally got her entire apartment building into composting. Truly unplanned.
