June is typically a month representing a return to nostalgia. The start of summer. Family reunions. Father’s Day. Annual summer travel. And of course, Juneteenth.

While we have separate articles with gift inspiration that pair nicely with summer puns, Father’s Day, and even gifting someone BBQ if they missed the family reunion, we’d like to highlight ways for you to support your customers, prospects, and employees who celebrate Juneteenth. Or if you’d like to celebrate it for the time as well.

What is Juneteenth?

Falling on the 19th of every June, Juneteenth is now an official, federal holiday that honors the end of slavery in the United States. Many Americans of black or African-American descent attend celebrations that range as wide as readings of the works of African-American writers to attending food festivals or historical reenactments.

How can I celebrate Juneteenth?

If you’ve never celebrated Juneteenth before, it’s ok. You can still stand in support of prospects, clients, and employees who do. Whether you’d like to attend a historical reenactment for the first time, or you’d like to send a thoughtful gift – there is something about showing you are in support of a cause, versus merely stating it.

With that in mind, here are four Sendoso partners that you can support this month in honor of Juneteenth. Send them to folks who celebrate the important day, or just send them to your normal list of recipients and support a Black Owned business. And remember, if you’re already our client, we can send any of these gifts out for you in just a few clicks–no packing or shipping necessary!

2. The Sip

Started by two best friends who wanted to bring diversity to bubbles and the boardroom, Sip is a black owned and woman owned business that is all about putting the special in “special delivery.” By opening up sparkling wine to more people, their mission of bridging racial disparity in the industry can be aided by you choosing to gift one of their unique gift boxes to your customer, prospect, or employee. The quote on their website says it all:

“People will forget what you did and what you said but they will never forget how you made them feel. – Maya Angelou

Note: Due to state restrictions, some states cannot have alcohol shipped to them.

This gift box highlights two amazing sparkling wines and a fun sip shooter (the classy way to take a shot of champagne). The Celebration Box is essential for every celebration.

With crisp flavors and a smoky finish, this is the signature champagne of the Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin house.

Well, Elemental has created the Recess Can Cooler. Available in multiple sizes, simply slide your drink on in to let it keep your drink colder, longer, and without ice!

Bring it along for your next day at the beach, BBQ, bonfire, or picnic.

4. Blondery

After a decade-long career in fine dining, two goals became evident to the founder of the Blondery: she wanted to democratize fine dining, and create a workplace where people who were notoriously marginalized within the food industry could thrive. Today, the Blondery is a Woman-owned, Black owned business that is a one-of-a-kind, virtual bakery. It creates limited-release, seasonal blondie collections throughout the year.

4 Blondies Variety Box

If your recipient has a sweet tooth, then here is the perfect gift to send them that says “I was thinking about you.” The 4 Blondies Variety Box has three of the Blondery’s must-have signature flavors, Brooklyn Blackout (gluten-free), Cinnamon Sugar, and Pecan with Salted Caramel. The fourth flavor is a bonus, limited edition seasonal flavor. Part cookie, part brownie, blondie gifts can’t go wrong–especially when you’re sending one that someone literally took 10 years to perfect.

OG 11 Layer Cake

Send with Sendoso Direct

This is not “a” cake, this is “the” cake. From top to bottom, the OG 11 Layer cake is designed with every single layer made with intentionality–with each layer serving a purpose that complements the layer before it and after it. With chocolate and vanilla buttercreams, devil’s food cake, ganache, cocoa nibs, toasted pecans, Valrhona chocolate pearls, salted caramel ganache, and chocolate chip blondies, sending “the” cake will not disappoint. Not to mention, the cake is absolutely gorgeous to look at. Stacked sky-high while holding an impressive six-inch diameter, this chocolate and golden-hued cake will make a truly unforgettable centerpiece for any table. It is designed to be enjoyed by 6-12 people, but your recipient can always celebrate with it slowly by coming back to it in multiple sittings.
