Show Your Support when You Shop From our Community of Diverse Makers

Here at Batch, we’re passionate about our makers and their stories. Everything you buy from Batch has soul, purpose, meaning, and the power to build connections. 

Why we are who we are

We're passionate about supporting diverse business owners and want to make it easy for you to find gifts that support your values. You can align your gifting with your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals and commitments while celebrating diversity in your own workforce.

According to the 2020 Annual Business Survey from the U.S. Census Bureau:

  • 18.7% of U.S. businesses are minority-owned
  • 5.7% of companies are veteran-owned
  • 20.9% of businesses are women-owned

In addition:

At Batch, we believe that representation matters so we seek out makers that are part of these communities. Here’s a look at some of our favorite gift sets and products that you can buy to join us in supporting these businesses and bringing them to the nation’s attention.

Some of our favorite gift sets from BIPOC-owned businesses

Afternoon Tea Gift Set

Our Afternoon Tea Gift Set is a beautiful gift for individuals and teams who spend their days being pulled in all directions and barely get time to sit and relax. This set helps them do just that in one of the simplest and most thoughtful ways possible – with a cup of tea accompanied by shortbread cookies and honey sticks.

Tea Drops Wooden Tea Sampler

Sticking with the tea theme, have you ever tried tea drops?

Our Tea Drops Tea Sampler is a fantastic small gift for anyone who always has a cup of tea with them or enjoys sampling the tastes and fragrances of different herbal teas. Contact our gift consultants to add this or any individual product to a curated gift set or customized gift box.

Popular products from veteran-owned businesses

Veteran Roasters Coffee

This Veteran Roasters Coffee pack is a staple of our Decked Out Desk Gift Set but is fantastic as an individual buy or an addition to a customized corporate gift.

Veteran Roasters was founded in 2017 to give struggling veterans a place to work and regain their lives, so your purchase will make a difference far beyond the gift recipients' morning coffee kick.

Flying G Jerky

Flying G Jerky comes to Batch courtesy of the Geisingers, a husband and wife team of U.S. Army Veterans who founded the brand in 2018. True to our ethos of providing local handmade produce, Paul Geisinger continues to make this beef jerky in small batches at a USDA-approved facility.

A tasty and nutritious snack containing nothing but beef and spices – precisely as it should be.
