CAUSEBOX Spoiler #5 Winter 2020
CAUSEBOX is a quarterly curation of socially conscious lifestyle products for women. Every box is filled with products that have a story and make a difference! Inside of CAUSEBOX you’ll find the best jewelry, homewares, skincare products, accessories and more each season. And they tell you the stories behind each brand. Many of the products are exclusive CAUSEBOX collaborations that you can’t get anywhere else!
Here’s a peek at the 1st spoiler for the Winter 2020 CAUSEBOX….
SPOILER NO. 1 – Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference — in your home *and* around the world!
Serve over 5,000 small farming families → To date, @truemoringa has planted over two million moringa trees in Ghana, one for every purchase made on their website. These trees not only combat deforestation and malnutrition, but they also create working opportunities, providing a luxurious and deeply moisturizing oil often referred to as ‘the new argan.’ The Rejuvenating Body Polish in the Winter Box is made with fresh Nicaraguan coffee beans from @vegacoffeehq to exfoliate and sponge away dry skin, while the oil replenishes and moisturizes. It’s the perfect treat for winter skin!
Sustainably employ over 9,000 artisans in 17 African countries → @zealliving began as a way to connect consumers to Africa’s most incredible artisans, designers, and makers, investing in handmade, one-of-a-kind home goods and jewelry that create jobs, sustain ancient techniques, and preserve cultural traditions. Though Zeal Living does most of their production in Africa, the custom-for-CAUSEBOX set of Marble Geo Coasters was made in collaboration with our artisan team in Rajasthan, India, where this project helped to empower and employ 274 artisans. Pair these coasters with a coffee or a cocktail, and cozy up!
Provide meaningful employment to survivors of trafficking, violence, and addiction → @sanctuary_project is a survivor-run, nonprofit social enterprise jewelry brand that offers a safe community for women in transition to grow in practical skills while restoring their lives and hearts. Their jewelry is designed and packaged by the women they employ, and 100% of our sales go directly to providing more job opportunity and job training to survivors! The Thick Gold Hoops were made custom-for-CAUSEBOX, and perfect for sprucing up your Zoom call look.
Which one will you go for?
Here’s a peek at the 2nd spoiler for the Winter 2020 CAUSEBOX….
SPOILER NO. 2 – Our second spoiler is a snuggly selection arriving just in time for the cold months ahead! Will it be…
The soft-as-silk pillowcase from @ettitudestore? → The bamboo-based Travel Beauty Pillowcase in the Winter Box *might* just feel more silky than silk itself — and, made from their signature CleanBamboo fabric, those who’ve been sleeping like royalty in their Sheet Set know it! Minimal, sophisticated, and intentionally designed, ettitude elevates sustainable living with a dash of luxury. Using a closed loop system, this @1percentftp company reuses 98% of its water in future production cycles.
Or…
The walking-on-clouds cozy socks from @maggiesorganics? → You’ve probably heard of Fair Trade, but Maggie’s Organics takes it to a whole new level. Made with organic cotton grown by family farmers in Texas and small scale producers in Tanzania, these Heathered Slouchy Socks fit like an honest hug for your feet. Soft, yet snug, with incredible elasticity, they’ll comfortably fit a women’s size 6-11.

Here’s a peek at the 3rd spoiler for the Winter CAUSEBOX….
SPOILER NO. 3 – Good taste alert! This winter, let’s make less plastic and more deliciousness. Our third spoiler is a choice between two sustainable swaps in the kitchen. Which one are you?
The baker → Make cleanup easy with these Activated Eco Reusable Silicone Baking Sheets and say good by to single-use aluminum foil or parchment paper! Made from 100% food grade and BPA free silicone, this set of 2 pastel green and light grey sheets save 18 rolls of baking paper each year on average. Plus, they’re fridge, freezer, oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe!
The snacker → Take a little for the road with these Boon Supply Reusable (and translucent, for easy viewing) Zip Pouches in 5 different sizes, and replace more than 300 single-use bags each year! Not only are these an excellent sustainable swap, but Boon Supply also gives back big time with their unique business model. 40% of every order with Boon Supply supports a fundraiser of your choice. At CAUSEBOX, we chose to support Teach for America. For this product, a portion of profits will go towards providing TFA’s teachers with the training, tools, and resources needed to best support their students in a distance learning environment.
Here’s a peek at the 4th spoiler for the Winter CAUSEBOX….
SPOILER NO. 4 – And it’s sweater weather approved!
Stovetop statement → Wake up to the whistle of this Rose & Fitzgerald Brushed Gold Kettle, ethically and thoughtfully made in Moradabad, India. Rose & Fitzgerald blends age-old craft with a simplistic, contemporary aesthetic, creating authentic, quality pieces with handmade charm. Not only does their Brushed Gold Kettle make the best pour-over coffee you’ve ever had, boil up a wonderful pot of afternoon tea, and look absolutely radiant in any kitchen, it also fairly employed more than 300+ artisans.
Sustainable sweater → With its downright cashmere feel, you would probably never guess that this Thread & Supply Cozy Cloud Wrap is made from recycled plastic water bottles, diverting 4,690,000 water bottles from landfills — but it is! Thread & Supply is taking “good threads” to the next level, working solely with low impact fibers sourced from recycled materials, organically grown cotton, and sustainably managed forests. This two-tone grey cardigan wrap (with pockets!) was designed with sustainability and comfort in mind, but also versatility. Dress it up for socially distant dinner dates, or dress it down for a cozy night in!
Which one are you warming up to?
Here’s a peek at the 5th spoiler for the Winter CAUSEBOX….
SPOILER NO. 5 – Whether you’re making plans or making the most of not having any, our fifth spoiler (and last choice category in the Winter Box!) has just the thing to help you kick off the new year right.
How will you be putting your best foot forward in 2021?
“I’ve got the whole thing planned out! Just ask me where I’ll be April 21st at 4:32 pm, I dare you.” → For those who’ve written in asking whether they should hold off on buying a planner this year, your call has been answered! The *highly* requested 2021 Yearly Planner from Idlewild Co has finally arrived. Get organized in style thanks to Idlewild Co. Founder and Artist Katie Gastley, the designer of this vibrant, jungle-inspired, and year-long agenda. With essentials like daily, monthly, and yearly calendars, and thoughtful extras like sticker sheets, inspirational quotes, note pages, goal trackers, and gratitude boxes, this is arguably the most beautiful and useful planner of all time. It even has a few lines of extra defense to (quite literally) protect your 2021 — a nearly indestructible paperboard hardcover, spiral binding for maximum paper security, and brass corner protectors to prevent any frayed edges. Your year is safe with us!
“You know, I’ve learned to really lean into this whole ‘uncertainty’ thing. Wherever this year takes me, I’ll be making the most of it!” → Kick off your shoes and relax with the Peony Foot Masks from Soon Skincare. This set of 5 easy-to-use booties is here to alleviate foot fatigue and leave you with healthier, happier feet. The best part? You don’t even have to stop what you’re doing to step into a moment of self care. While the inside of these sock masks treat your tootsies with de-stressing licorice, healing ginger root, and moisturizing peony, the outside allows for a jaunt around the house. Phone a friend, perhaps, and pace around telling them how much you’re loving your introduction to Korean skincare!
