• The rich think of themselves as good people. All of this wicked excess must therefore be balanced out somehow. Gifting lounges do it by inviting some charities to set up tables for free, where they can try to talk famous people into supporting their causes. Holly Robinson’s foundation gave me a free children’s book. In one room, amid the organic snack products and the Lumeria Maui retreat space, Worldteam Foundation had set up a table with a large sign reading, “LET’S TEAM UP TO ABOLISH SLAVERY.” Rather ambitious goal for the gifting lounge crowd, but worth a shot.
