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 [...]

7 Gift Companies Supporting Causes

If you’re new to beCAUSE minded, you may not know our story. Our founder, Jessica Shields, started beCAUSE minded because she was looking for unique branded business gifts that made a positive impact in the world and couldn’t find a good solution.

Our passion is to create an easy way to support causes [...]

Soap and Coffee Don’t Mix

Let me tell you a funny story. Everyone on our beCAUSE minded internal team loves coffee. It’s possible we have an unhealthy obsession. So, when we launched our first boxes, of course, we needed to have one for the coffee obsessed. Thus, the beINTENTIONAL gift box was born. In this luxury corporate gift box, we included an artisan mug, a bag of Ugandan French roasted coffee beans, a hardcover journal, a handcrafted pen….and soap. Yep. You read that right – a coffee shop experience in a box + one soap. Why in the world did we add a soap to [...]

Why You Should Gift Yourself Rest

A few years ago, when my daughter was about 4 years old, she was describing what our Sundays are like, “We go to church, go to P. Terry’s (our local hamburger hut), take a nap, and then…”. My heart was so full. She knows Sundays are rest days. I love that she knows that I often take a nap on Sunday afternoons. As entrepreneurs, my husband and I get to share a lot of our work life with our daughter. She helps pack some of your personal and corporate gift boxes. She knows we work hard, and I love that [...]

How Client Gifts Build Relationships

Odds are, you can’t name most of the gifts you got last holiday. But what’s interesting is that doesn’t mean those gifts aren’t still impacting your life. Each gift you received made you feel a certain way toward the person who gave you the gift. If it was a very personal gift, perhaps you felt the gift giver was very sensitive. If it was expensive, perhaps you thought they were generous. If it was obviously something they picked up at the grocery store on their way to your event, you might have thought they are, well...you know. Over time, these [...]

Products to Rejuvenate Your Routine

Summer is by far my favorite season of the year. I spend too many hours in the water to count – in boats, cold springs, and lots of outdoor pools. I spend a fortune on sunscreen. And I also spend lots of quality time with my kiddos. But, like many people I know, specifically parents of elementary and middle-school aged kids, I find myself ready to go back to my “real life” of early morning runs, a consistent work schedule, and my other daily routines, when the kids’ school year resumes. If you’re like me and ready to get back [...]

A Guide to Virtual Event Gifts

When it comes to virtual conferences, the feedback we’ve heard on the street is that they’re usually underwhelming. Instead of connecting with your co-workers and the higher ups at your company, you’re sitting on Zoom all day, and multitasking with your normal daily duties. However, with pandemics, budgetary constraints, and the accelerating speed of technology, it looks like virtual events are here to stay. If that’s the case, it’s worth putting in some effort to avoid the virtual doldrums. One way to do this is to kick off the week with a non-virtual gift, tailored just for your event. Send [...]

Why We’re Not a Subscription Service

“Oh, I already have one of those subscription boxes.” I cringe a little when I hear tradeshow attendees say this. I explain, we are not a subscription service. We offer high quality personal and corporate gift boxes that you can purchase when you need a gift for someone who values self-care and making a positive impact on the world. It’s so, so different than the subscription model. Sometimes fellow entrepreneurs will challenge our business model. They explain that subscription models make more money. This is usually true. Why? Because sometimes you mean to cancel your membership but forget. How many [...]

The Key to Gift Buying for Those Who Speak “Receiving Gifts”

I make my husband’s life so hard. Not in all ways – but in gift buying specifically, I make things incredibly difficult for him. Admitting is the first step, right? I don’t want him to get anything off my list (and often I don’t even make one). I don’t want any gift that gives me something to do because I already can’t get in everything I have on my plate. Why do I make it so difficult for him? Because one of my top 2 love languages is receiving gifts. At first glance, you’re probably thinking, “of course, everyone likes [...]
