The Story Behind the beCAUSE minded Gift Box Names

Have you ever been at a meeting where everyone was racking their brains to find a solution and it was just going nowhere? That was the beCAUSE minded team back in 2020 trying to come up with names for each of our luxury corporate gift boxes. We’d thought about calling the boxes by various names: the Julia, the Michelle, the Monique, etc. But that’s been done before. How about going with numbers? Box One, Box Two, Box Three. This is how we named them in our prototype stage. But on a live website? Yawn. We were completely stuck. Then Jacquelyn [...]

Happy One Year Birthday to Us!

When our site went live one year ago, we had literally no idea how it would go. We invested so much hard work, hopes, dreams, and a huge chunk of my life savings into an idea that people and corporations wanted to spend their money in a way that makes a positive impact on the world. We believed that both the gift giver and the receiver would appreciate that each box is full of high-quality gifts that give back. And when our website went live…well…nothing. No one bought immediately. And the concern set in. Did people get what we’re doing [...]

The Powerful Story Behind Our Soap Dishes

Let me start by saying – I do not have an economics degree, or an international business degree, or a sociology degree. I run a small business with a big heart. Today we are going to talk about how fair trade products, fair trade gifts specifically, impact the world. But rather than share a bunch of statistics with you, which if we are honest, are sometimes difficult to fathom on a personal level, I’m going to share with you an individual story from one of our suppliers that I hope will highlight the kind of work we support here at [...]

We get this question a lot. You’re ready to start planning for holiday, but you don’t want your gift to be too early…and you certainly don’t want your gift arriving late!
