Thirty One Gifts

Thirty One Gifts no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Thirty-One Gifts was a Columbus, Ohio-area direct-selling company founded in 2003 by Cindy Monroe, who launched the business from the basement of her Chattanooga, Tennessee home. The company became known for personalized bags, totes, purses, fashion accessories, thermals, storage items, and home-organization products. Monroe built the company around a women-focused direct-sales message, and the business grew into one of the larger U.S. party-plan companies, reaching nearly $800 million in annual sales at its peak.

Thirty-One operated through independent Consultants who sold products through home parties, online parties, catalogs, personal websites, and customer relationships. The company’s compensation plan included personal sales commissions and downline-related compensation. Its 2023 income disclosure listed 26,677 registered Consultants and showed that 88.13% of U.S. Consultants earned between $0 and $999 for the year, before business expenses.

The company went through a major ownership change in July 2020, when Kanbrick entered a strategic partnership with Thirty-One Gifts and became an owner alongside founder Cindy Monroe. Kanbrick said it would help lead the company’s long-term growth strategy.

Thirty-One Gifts closed its direct-sales business in late 2024 after 21 years in operation. Direct Selling News reported on October 23, 2024, that Monroe had informed field leaders the company was closing, with the end date expected before the end of 2024. The former ThirtyOneGifts.com / MyThirtyOne consultant opportunity is no longer active as a current MLM or direct-sales enrollment program.
