In a world where employers’ ethical practices and social responsibility are increasingly valued by employees – and where employee retention also means going above and beyond to show your team members how much you care – selecting gifts that contribute to corporate wellness and support positive change is a powerful way to express your true appreciation to those employees and team members – as well as clients and other stakeholders.
Why Choose Socially Conscious Gifts?
Gifting corporate wellness goes beyond body butters and lotions; it’s about the positive impact each of those gifts can have on on your employees and the world. You can choose gifts that not only promote personal well-being but also support meaningful work and second chances in the US and globally. By doing so, you contribute to a larger movement of empowerment, sustainability, and community support. Your actions align with your values.
About the Bag
Empowering Wellness Gifts for Her AND for Him
We know everyone deserves wellness, which is why we enjoy curating spa kits for both women and men, giving them the opportunity to luxuriate and relax – all while knowing they played a part in positively impacting someone’s life. The women’s bag is crafted by our partner, Anchal, in India, and is more than just a stylish accessory – it’s a testament to ethical fashion and social impact. Each bag is made by women who receive a verified living wage, validated by the Fair Trade Federation.
This fair wage not only ensures financial independence but also supports the artisans’ families, including their children’s education. Anchal’s holistic program extends its support to 180 artisans and 24 Project Assistants, providing them with valuable skills training in textile production, health services, and education workshops. This comprehensive approach fosters creativity and financial independence while championing sustainability through eco-friendly production methods.
The men’s bag is fashioned by another women-led organization in India, Jaggery, that upcycles used seatbelts into stunningly handcrafted bags of all kinds, diverting waste from landfills and providing both skills training and dignified employment to their artisans. Jaggery prides itself on sustainable employment for their makers, even being able to keep everyone on staff and paid throughout the COVID pandemic. Jaggery identifies and works with women’s groups locally to teach skills to women who might otherwise have no opportunities available.
You can also opt for the Safari Pouch, made by our partner maker in Kenya, Ubuntu, who employs Maasai women as their “Maker Mums,” sourcing materials locally and making their handcrafted products in their own studio in Maai Mahiu. Ubuntu also works with their non-profit partner, The Ubuntu Life Foundation, to provide education and therapy to children with special needs.
About the Contents
Within both bags you’ll find products – including a warsh bar, and a lotion bar – from the Hon’s Honey collection, handcrafted in Baltimore by women survivors of trauma. This program, run by the non-profit, The Well, offers women a holistic healing process including life development programs, free counseling, workshops, and community support. Every product is infused with the healing power of love, reflecting the transformative journey of the women behind them.
Hon’s Honey is not just a product; it’s a lifeline. 100% of the profits from these items go directly to employing women survivors of addiction, sex trafficking, generational poverty, and abuse. By gifting Hon’s Honey with Peace by Piece, you are directly contributing to the rebuilding of lives and supporting a transformative cause. And by the way – you might think that warsh bar is wrapped in plastic, but we’re thrilled to share the exterior wrapping is 100% biodegradable!
Also in both gift sets you’ll find Thistle Farms gifts, including body lotion, essential oils, and a cooling shave gel. This social enterprise, based in Tennessee, is dedicated to helping women survivors of prostitution, trafficking, and addiction. Thistle Farms provides a safe living space, meaningful employment, and a supportive community to help women heal and rebuild their lives.
