GiftSuite Supports a Dozen New BIPOC Businesses with Creative, Socially-Conscious Gift Boxes During current pandemic and societal upheaval, Company supports Black Lives Matter and adds products from Black, Indigenous and People of Color-owned businesses to popular gift boxes

GiftSuite, provider of uniquely curated, elegantly packaged gift boxes featuring highly-desired, tech-forward and socially conscious products, today announces it has added over 25 new products from BIPOC business partners in its curated marketplace and signature gift boxes. Additionally, it has added newly featured “Rise Up!” box. Ten percent of the proceeds made from that box go directly to the Black Lives Matter Global Network to contribute to bringing justice, healing, and freedom to Black people across the globe. The BIPOC and female-led companies and products supported in the Rise Up! box includes Nu Rule notebooks, The Art of Caramel popcorn, Marvy Uchida pens, and Touchland hand sanitizer. In addition to Black Lives Matter, GiftSuite and its partners also support a variety of women empowerment programs, homeless programs, public schools and green causes. Customers can purchase a ready-made signature box from the GiftSuite lineup or create their own gift box filled with beauty, artisan food, work-from-home and tech products, to share in a positive gift-giving experience.



“GiftSuite believes in intentional gift-giving and offering products with a purpose,” says Sangita Verma, GiftSuite, CEO. “Because GiftSuite is BIPOC-owned and female-led, we understand first-hand the need to support innovative small businesses that care about making the world a better place for everyone and may be suffering due to the pandemic and societal unrest. Like many consumers and companies, we are committed to supporting BIPOC-owned businesses that offer high-quality, well-designed, easy-to-use, amazing products that contribute to a positive gift-giving experience. People have been sheltering in place and lack the interpersonal contact we’re used to in a pre-COVID world. We believe gift-giving can be used to do good and show appreciation. We are all under trying circumstances, and it’s nice, especially now, to be reminded that there are good, caring humans out there in the world who care specifically about us.”



GiftSuite is the epitome of the “gift that keeps on giving.” When customers purchase a GiftSuite box, they are also supporting GiftSuite’s purpose-driven business partners, many of which are in turn supporting charitable causes. Many of GiftSuite’s partner companies make charitable donations based on every purchase made, supporting several US and international organizations.



“I am honored to share our products through GiftSuite. We manufacture our soap and skin care products in the USA, in Portland, OR, said Teju Owoye, CEO of Clean Rebellion. “We are focused on delivering high-quality products with ingredients that you can trust. Because, let’s face it, your skin deserves the best. GiftSuite shares a similar point of view with its personally meaningful and impactful products that create connections and bring the gift giver and recipient into an even larger giving cycle.”
