Something Splendid -- Inclusion Matters, Change is Here
When Something Splendid said we were committed to reflecting and learning, we meant it. Since our announcement about our Gift + Giveback initiative to benefit the National Coalition of 100 Black Women - Indianapolis, we’ve sought out ways to be more inclusive of black and minority-owned businesses throughout Indy and beyond. Today, we’re excited to share some more details!
We’re happy to report we have NEW products available for you to include in your Build Your Own boxes; products you can gift, while getting in on the fun of supporting other female, minority-owned businesses! Check out all the NEW options:
- Teaspressa — Teaspressa represents a lifestyle, a way of being. It stands for good health and the courageous, unflinching pursuit of big ideas. It stands for luxurious self-treatment and serves as a reminder of individual self-worth. It stands for slowing down a little and taking time to truly celebrate life. Of course it also stands for the big, bold, delicious flavors and high quality products that it offers. But most of all, it stands for the thriving community that it serves.
Allison DeVane, founder of TEASPRESSA™ and Tea & Toast Co. has been a coffee and tea lover long before her career started. Allison grew up around the world exploring niche coffee shops with her father, sparking her love for all things coffee. She saw an opportunity to create her own culture and brand of tea and decided to start Teaspressa.

- Oh Mazing Granola — Oh-Mazing passionately crafts small-batch granola snacks from our Washington, DC kitchen. Owner, Stephanie Williams, believes that snacks should be tasty, convenient and made from scratch, but she couldn’t find a brand that shared her values on the shelves at grocery stores. Over time, she developed her own granola recipe to provide an alternative to some of the unhealthy snacks found on grocery store shelves. The snack instantly became a hit among her family, friends, and community. After having two children, Stephanie resigned from her job to spend more precious time with them and to create an abundance of Oh-Mazing! Moments.
