Behind every thoughtful gift lies a unique story. At Cultivate, we partner with companies whose ethos centers around caring for people and the planet. In this week’s blog, we recognize our partners who acknowledge the profound responsibility of sourcing and creating intentional and aspirational products that make incredible gifts.

We strive to authentically represent each brand's story, highlight the qualities that make it truly special, and celebrate the people behind it all. These attributes serve as specific markers for our brand/gifting partners that embody eco-friendliness, support minority-owned businesses, and contribute to charitable causes. For a festive overview, our Gifting Experts have identified four overarching themes that guide our holiday gift selection and our collections year-round.

What matters to us during the season of giving and gratitude:

 

Sustainable gifting

We support organizations and businesses that use their earnings to help the environment. Whether it's planting a tree for every purchase or donating a portion of proceeds to seasonal causes, we seek out brands that go the extra mile to spread the season's warmth. Check out our list of brand partners who take sustainability to the next level.

 

Elevating voices

Fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion among our vendors is a cornerstone of our gift-sourcing process. Actively partnering with BIPOC, AAPI, LGBTQ+, and female business owners showcases beautifully crafted seasonal gifts and emphasizes the importance of representation in the spirit of giving and gratitude.

 

Gifts that give back

We work with companies that actively give back to their communities and support charitable causes. Whether they contribute a portion of their profits to local organizations or engage in other philanthropic efforts, these brands embody the true spirit of giving. Check out the list of our current brand partners who make giving back a part of their everyday lives. 

 

Sparking seasonal joy

Some gifts' sole purpose is to ignite playfulness, curiosity, and joy during the season of giving and gratitude. This is the pillar that Cultivate is built on: choice! When you offer a choice, the recipient can decide what area of their life they want to nourish. Whether it be some athleisure, a new piece of tech, or the opportunity to try something new - like picking up the guitar, choice feeds the senses! The moment you log in to our Platform, the magic of giving hits you in the face. Book a demo to learn more about the seasonal excitement that awaits!

Being mindful about where we source our products is a common consideration year-round. The materials and intentions behind products all come together to craft the story of the giver and the recipient. As the holidays quickly approach, it's our mission to empower you to embrace this season of giving and gratitude. 

When you partner with Cultivate, you can rest assured that together, we will celebrate the season of giving by sourcing thoughtfully and recognizing the power that gifting with choice gives a recipient.
