Debra Rivera

Debra Rivera has spent over 12 years doing what most people only dream about — hunting down gifts that actually mean something. Based in San Francisco, she brings that same instinct to GiftRanks, where she covers luxury, wellness, and fashion and beauty gifting with the kind of depth that only comes from real experience. Her B.S. in Consumer Sciences and certification through the American Association of Personal Shoppers gave her the foundation, but an 80-plus client concierge roster, bylines in Racked SF and Well+Good, and a wellness brand gift box that sold out in 72 hours tell the fuller story. She'll also tell you her ever-growing candle collection is professional research — and honestly, it's hard to argue.
