SCROLL FOR THE STORY

A MOTHER’S VISION β€’ EST. 2025

Hello, I’m Vandana Harbance.

30-year-old Hunter College graduate, former three-job hustler, and proud stay-at-home mom to Benjamin (Jan 2023) and Avani (Nov 2023).

I built my first business at 12 β€” buying wholesale costume jewelry and selling it to my classmates. That same entrepreneurial spirit never left me. After years of working and studying while pregnant, I chose to pour my energy into motherhood… and now I’m ready to bring it full circle.

Giggle & Gathering Club is the space I always wished existed when I became a mom: an elegant, intimate venue where parents and children truly connect through play, creativity, and learning.

It starts with us.

Education is the key to a successful generation β€” and it begins at home. Children do what they see, not what they are told. I created Giggle & Gathering so parents could rediscover their own creativity and pass it on.
