The Inspiration Behind beCAUSE minded Gift Boxes

beCAUSE minded was founded when Jessica couldn’t find any luxury branded corporate gifts that gave back. She wanted to give meaningful gifts, but it seemed like she had to choose between typical branded gifts like shirts, coolers, and koozies (yawn), luxurious gifts, and gifts that give back. But, Jessica didn’t want to choose and knew it was possible to have all the good & quality items in a gift box. So Jessica created a team of like-minded change-makers and they started searching for high-quality products making a positive social impact. beCAUSE minded has been changing the gift giving game ever since.

beCAUSE minded: Social Impact

beCAUSE minded sources their products for the gift boxes from companies who create employment opportunities for survivors of sex trafficking, refugees on the Syrian/Turkish border, people who are differently-abled, the transitioning homeless as well as companies that donate 50% or more of their profits to a non-profit or cause. Some of these causes include researching a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, providing lights to children in Uganda, supporting orphanages, and educating girls and women in developing countries.

Curated Gift Boxes by beCAUSE minded

Each beCAUSE minded box features a unique theme. The products within the box are thoughtfully curated for each theme. A few of their boxes feature themes such as beCOZY, beRELAXED, beCALMED, beGROOMED, beUNPLUGGED, and many more making it easy for consumers to give thoughtful gifts that are beautifully and sustainably packaged. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

beCAUSE minded: Sustainability & Giving Back

beCAUSE minded strives to keep their packaging as eco-friendly as possible which is why all their boxes are beautifully packaged in a wooden keepsake box made of FSC certified birch. These boxes are durable and reusable. Their packaging for shipping the gift boxes features 100% post-recycled cardboard boxes with water-based ink.

Along with sourcing products responsibly and valuing sustainability, beCAUSE minded gives back. While beCAUSE minded is a for-profit company, they choose to give 100% of their net profits to nonprofits including Red Oak Hope, Foster Village, and Emancipet to further their impact. 

beCAUSE minded Gift Box Review

With so many amazing boxes, how do you choose? I’m sharing two of my favorite boxes!

beCALMED Box

I’ve been loving my gifted beCALMED box which features so many meaningful items for relaxing. 

  • The hand-loomed Pebbles Pestemal Turkish Towel is ethically made by Syrian refugees. This towel is soft and I’ve been using it as a light weight beach towel. It’s great because it isn’t too thick, so it is easy to fold up and take with you anywhere. 

  • The Lavender Sprig Soy Wax Candle empowers young moms and their families. The scent features herbal lavender flowers interlaced with unexpected accents of fresh-cut grass. As someone who uses candles everyday this was one of my favorite items in the box. The scent was light and refreshing, perfect for ending the day. 

  • The Calming Lavender Lotion features a similar lavender scent to the candle and the proceeds support survivors of trafficking. I love putting this lotion on right before bed to help start the relaxation process. With the weather cooling down and the air becoming drier, I’m sure I’ll be using this daily. 

  • The Calming Lavender Bath Bombs are an amazing way to end the day. Enjoy the scent and calming effects of this lavender bath bomb before bedtime and drift off into a sweet sleep. The proceeds from these ethically made bath bombs support women survivors of trafficking.

  • The Chamomile Tea is something I’ve been using as part of my nightly routine. This organic tea is ethically made by Teatulia. The Teatulia co-op teaches organic farming, providing families with food and a way to strengthen their socio-economic condition by selling crops to local markets.

I’ve been really impressed with how well these items go together and think the beCALMED gift box would be great for any mindful friends in need of a relaxation night.

beCOZY Box

With the holiday season coming up, the beCOZY Box is a great ready-to-go gift for any of your friends. This box is perfect for a cozy night by the fire. 

  • The White Loom Woven Chevron Blanket is ethically made in partnership with Mitscoots. Mitscoots provides employment to the transitioning homeless, who package up every order. This soft and thick blanket is a neutral color which means it’s great for gift giving and will go with any room!

  • The Sugared Grapefruit Candle features an uplifting scent of sweet citrus and tropical fruit floods. This candle is ethically made in the USA and empowers young moms and their families.

  • The Black & White Polka Dot Socks feature a fun polka dot pattern, so the recipient can stay warm and fashionable this holiday season. These socks also provide jobs to the transitioning homeless.

One of the highlights of these gift boxes is they come in a beautiful wooden box made of FSC certified birch. I’ve been reusing my box to organize all my different flavors of coffee and tea. 

With options for corporate gifting, holiday gift boxes for consumers, and their online marketplace, beCAUSE minded is a great place to find impactful gifts as we head into the holiday season. I highly recommend checking out their gift boxes to make your holiday season less stressful.
