Pokoloko partners with a conscious subscription box company called The Gift Refinery (TGR)- who exclusively offers Canadian-made products from artisans + brands within our community.
TGR offers seasonal, annual and one-time subscriptions with a curated collection of Canadian products that hold meaning.
But that’s not the only reason they’re so great! Thanks to our brand partnership, here’s what else I’ve learned about this award-winning gift box with meaning.
The community-oriented aspect of this box makes it a staple for the socially conscious Canadian family. Shopping local has never been more important, and with our economy the way that it is, TGR serves our community best by introducing the fruits of our Canadian labour back into our own homes. Subscribing to this gift box allows you to support your fellow Canadian artisans + brands with products of meaning.
The meaning behind the premium goodies in each box is of special importance to our friends atThe Gift Refinery. Each feature is carefully selected to encourage a more conscious Canadian household. By promoting meaningful products that support the prospering of moral and ethical supply chains, you’re sure to find a useful array of Canadian-made lifestyle pieces that match up with your search for sustainable brands.
As part of their wellness initiative, a portion of proceeds from each box is donated to a Canadian charity. Currently, TGR has partnered with Noelle’s Gift- a charity for children in need, based out of Sarnia, Ontario. The true beauty of this meaningful box is that it creates a direct line for us Canadians to invest in our communities!
We are so happy to find our Canadian Poko family growing. And partnering withThe Gift Refinery has proven effective in introducing our sustainably-sourced home decor and lifestyle pieces to even more of our neighbours’ households. The meaning of this box, for us, really all does come back to our community- and the connection we have with our friends and family alike!
Of course, the beauty in our conscious-driven partnership is that it allows our ethically-sourced and environmentally friendly products to find a home with even more conscious households. While every subscription box has its own focus, The Gift Refinery proudly pairs homegrown craftsmanship with thoughtfully curated meaning. So, you can help save the planet simply by investing in a Canadian company that aligns with our pillar for environmental sustainability!
The Gift Refinery believes in conscious quality, and that’s why Pokoloko is honoured to be spotlighted in this year’s HelloWinter2020 box! Our fairly-traded, artisan-made Diamond Turkish Towel can be found in every box this season and is a perfect first item to dive into our authentic Turkish towel collection.
Just check out what one reviewer had to say about our Diamond Turkish Towel she received in her HelloWinter2020 box:
