Why and How to Celebrate Work Anniversaries

If you want to build a healthy company culture, celebrate wins. Bring more highlights to your company newsfeed. Your employees spend most of their days in their roles - working on projects, solving issues for clients, handling internal issues, etc. Adding celebratory moments gives your team a chance to remember that what they are working on is part of a team effort, even if their project is an individual one. There are three occasions we celebrate every year for every employee: birthdays, Christmas/winter holidays, and work anniversaries. We add celebrations for weddings and new additions to a family when the [...]

How to Celebrate Valentine’s Day at Work

At my daughter’s elementary school, they call Valentine’s Day the day of love and friendship. I love the idea that we can celebrate all kinds of love on Valentine’s Day. At her age, there’s not much interest in romance, so it’s clear that all of the Valentine’s Day cards and gifts are friendship oriented. But what I’ve found as I got older is that there can be confusion about whether a person is sending a gesture of friendship or a romantic invitation on Valentine’s Day. This can be a tricky situation to navigate, especially in a workplace. Does that mean [...]

Our 4 Core Values and How They Drive our Company

We are a company that is outspoken about why consumers should shop their values. We created our collection of empowering gifts based on the belief that people are ready for something different. People are ready to buck the system that empowers few and replace it with a system that empowers those who need it most. We talk a lot about values. So, it feels fitting to share the values that drive our decisions here at beCAUSE minded: Transparency, Passion, Take the Best Path (Not the Easiest), and Equality. We spent quite a bit of time deciding which attributes would really [...]

Is Self-Care one of your New Year’s Resolutions?

“Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.” – Elenor Brown I think we all know this somewhere inside, right? We know that when we give 100% of ourselves to our work, our family, our communities, etc., we find ourselves burnt out. But in day-to-day life, it’s hard to live this out and dedicate time to recharge. At this time of year, many of us are looking at how we’d like to change our lives for the better. If [...]

Our Year End Wrap-Up

As we wrap up our second full year, it’s a natural time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished, what we’ve learned, and where we are headed next. In 2022, we had some major wins – We provided Jacquelyn, our social media manager, with a paid parental leave. This leave is something our founder has been working toward since she started her first business 10 years ago. We worked for the first few months of 2022 to prep for her leave – getting content completed months ahead of time so we wouldn’t drown while she was out. It was a massive, [...]

Create the Perfect Holiday Ambiance for Gift Wrapping

To some people, creating the perfect holiday ambiance comes naturally. You know those people. They pull out all the snowmen and reindeer just after (or sometimes before!) Halloween. They seem to always have some kind of fresh holiday cookies in the oven. And they have strands of tinsel in their hair. The world needs those people. But I am not one of them. Creating a winter wonderland in my home is not something that comes naturally to me. It’s not that I’m a Scrooge, but it’s just not my area of strength and for a long time, I was ok [...]

Our Best-Selling Gift Box of the Year!

If you’ve had Covid in the last couple of years, and odds are, you have, take yourself back to that place – the fever, body aches, headaches, the lack of smell and appetite, and the general feeling of “ick” for days. And on top of that, you couldn’t really see anyone. It was awful, right? Everyone on our team had Covid in 2021, so we all experienced the “ick” it brings. I had Covid just a couple weeks before we began brainstorming new box ideas for 2022. The achy feeling was still lingering. I mentioned that I think our muscle [...]

How Do We Prep for Large Group Orders?

Every time someone orders one of our wellness gift boxes, we throw confetti. Ok – we don’t actually throw confetti – can you imagine the mess, lol?!? But we do celebrate every order because every time someone checks out, it impacts our corporate gift suppliers. It means an orphan has hope, a sex trafficking survivor has employment, or a village in Uganda has clean water. It’s really a wonderful feeling. And if one order creates a ripple, an order for 1,000 gift boxes creates a (good kind of) tsunami! These large orders usually come from clients looking for corporate gift [...]
