Created by a mom who loves scent and meaningful parties
Glitters and Grace was created by Cheryl Gleason, a mom who loves scent, beauty, and thoughtful experiences — and who struggled to find fun, interactive party ideas for smaller gatherings. These parties were born from her passion for creativity, education, and joyful celebration.
What about activities for boys?
Boys love to build their own colognes — and they’re always welcome. We bring boy‑friendly scent options and black atomizers so they can create blends that feel cool, personal, and age‑appropriate.
As a mom who has two boys, Cheryl is always developing new ideas for co‑ed and boy‑inclusive parties. More options are coming soon.
