Shantel Evans’ LuxyList Profiled in Net Influencer Magazine

 LuxyList, a rising creator gift platform, is spotlighted in a new feature for Net Influencer magazine, “Privacy-Focused LuxyList Is Changing How Fans Support Creators.”

The article dives into how the platform, founded by former Air Force veteran and tech entrepreneur Shantel Evans, is reshaping fan-to-creator gifting with a strong emphasis on privacy, security and luxury.

In the article, Evans explains the inspiration behind LuxyList, which originated from a personal safety scare and witnessing her daughter’s interactions with social media influencers. “I saw my daughter spend $100 gifting a creator during a live stream, and the creator’s home address was compromised in the process,” Evans recalls. “I realized there was a real need for privacy and security in the creator economy.”

LuxyList solves this problem by allowing fans to purchase gifts from any website, with a personal shopper handling all logistics while keeping the creator’s and gifter’s personal information private. For example, delivery addresses, phone numbers, emails are not disclosed. The platform serves a wide range of content creators—from micro-influencers to big-name personalities—and boasts an impressive average gift value of $250, with gifts occasionally reaching as high as $25,000. “Content creators are the new celebrity next door,” Evans says, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and maintaining privacy for creators.

Evans also highlights LuxyList’s AI-powered future as the company gears up for its next phase of growth. “We’re looking at AI-driven features that will make personalized gift suggestions based on a creator’s preferences,” she explains in the interview. “It’s about making the gifting process easier and more meaningful, while ensuring the safety of everyone involved. “LuxyList is currently raising funds for this next impressive phase of growth via StartEngine. The crowdfunding opportunity is open to all and details can be obtained by clicking startengine.com/luxylist.
