Help me gift!

In an effort to live my values, looking for a snack/gift box that I can put together... details below!
This would kind of be in the vain of corporate gifting, except it is for about 15 or so board members. I would like to send them a small gift/snack box to thank them for joining a 2-day, virtual board retreat. It would ideally be:
- full of fun snacks/teas/chocolate that they can consume during the retreat
- have those things be produced by BIPOC and/or women owned companies/businesses
Any recommendations?

It sounds like you are putting these together yourself. I don't know if this is more work than you want to put into this, but you could buy snacks from some of these 11 Black-owned vegan businesses that ship nationwide. There are baked goods, popcorn, and chips.
I can personally vouch for Southern Roots Vegan Bakery, but their shipping was quite slow (they were overwhelmed with orders when this list first came out, so it may be better now).

You could reach out to Jeddah's Tearoom in Durham, NC - they have lovely and unique teas, candles made by the owner's daughter, and some other snacky delights. They aren't advertising gift-packages on the website, but I bet they could pull them together for you.

Sailor's Brew coffee is the best coffee I've ever had. Heritage Teas also sound amazing.

This is the kind of thing the Intentionalist specializes in.

Try looking local. I had great success making gift boxes this past holiday season with MadeHere, and they clearly call out Black owned businesses on the site. Other makers were easy enough to look up as well. Perhaps there's something near you that's similar?
