beCAUSE We’re Grateful…

How many of you remind your kids on a regular basis they need to have an “attitude of gratitude?” You don’t like what’s for dinner? You should have an attitude of gratitude for these healthy foods. You want to play instead of writing thank you cards after your birthday? Check your attitude. Gratitude is something we discuss on a regular basis. As an adult, I find gratitude hasn’t gotten any easier. Usually, I have to force myself to slow down to do a gratitude journal or take note of the little blessings throughout the day. If a server gets my [...]

Inspiration for Your Corporate Order

When I started beCAUSE minded, I had the big dream that we would be able to shift corporate gifting dollars to for-cause businesses. Of course, every order for personal or corporate gifts makes a difference. It’s just that many businesses have a lot more money for gifting than individuals. According to Forbes, the corporate gifting category is a $242 billion dollar/year industry. So, with some simple budget allocations, billions of dollars/year could be directed toward social enterprises who are working to make the world a better place. While we are a long way from the billion-dollar marker, we have seen [...]

How to Gift Inclusively (& other inclusivity tips!)

At beCAUSE minded, equality is one of our core values. I could probably write a 25,000 word blog on this subject (don’t worry – this isn’t that blog). Instead, I am going to focus on how we strive to create an inclusive workplace through very purposeful and practical choices. We find that some companies focus on just one aspect of equality – diversity in hiring. While this is an important aspect of equality, it’s by no means the only metric of success. Once people are in the door, it’s important to make sure your space is a place of inclusion. [...]

Which Kind of Blanket Person Are You?

One interesting thing we discovered when sourcing products for our wellness gift boxes is there are only two types of people when it comes to blankets. Let’s use our team as an example. While we all enjoy snuggling up on the couch to read a book, watch a show, or sometimes even write a blog like this one, we are clearly divided into two camps: the plushes and the throws. Now, we don’t feud like the Capulets and Montagues, but it’s been interesting to dive deeper into this silent division on our team. Jacquelyn is a thrower: a person who [...]

beHYGGE: Our New Gift Box Defined

If you aren’t as hip as our social media manager, Jacquelyn, you may be very confused by the name of our new box, beHYGGE. Did we misspell beHUGGY? Is it an acronym? Maybe some kind of fuzzy creature we haven’t heard of? Honestly, most of our team felt this same level of confusion when we heard the name. Our beCAUSE minded team was working on a new box for fall. We tried to think of all the things we love about fall: the cooler weather, getting back into a routine, pumpkin spice, etc. What’s the name for this “fall feeling?” [...]

Supporting Our Favorite Cause in Style: The Foster Village Gala

About 5 years ago, I attended my first fundraising gala. The idea seemed almost silly to me – let’s all get dressed up and go donate a bunch of money – something that in my mind we could have just done online and saved everyone the hassle. Then, I attended my first gala, and my view completely changed. There’s something electrifying about having hundreds of people gathered for one cause. One night celebrating all the organization has accomplished so far and where they are heading next. This year, our beCAUSE minded team attended the Grow the Village Gala for Foster [...]

Gift Ideas for Your Employees

Which do you think makes up the most of our business? Personal gifts or corporate gifts? The answer depends on how you define “most.” We get more orders for people shopping for personal gifts, but the lion’s share of our revenue comes from customers looking for luxury branded corporate gifts. These shoppers are usually looking for new hire onboarding gifts, client gifts, or the best holiday gifts for employees Often, they are looking for one gift box that works for all of their team members, so they aren’t having to purchase 147 different gifts during the holidays. But it can [...]
