Thirty-One Gifts was founded in 2003 by Cindy Monroe in Chattanooga in the basement of her home. Monroe established a goal of celebrating, encouraging and rewarding women by helping them discover financial freedom and business ownership through conducting boutique shopping experiences with in-residence parties and person-to-person sales. The company is now based in Columbus and has grown into one of the most successful direct-selling businesses in the world. Monroe created the company based on the principles of the Bible’s Proverbs 31, which describes the attributes of a “virtuous woman” as being hard-working, compassionate, gracious and inspiring to her family and others surrounding her. |
