Cause We Like to Party
We all know someone who is always ready to be the host of the party. They have the good snacks, the right vibes and don’t mind that you just don’t want to go home. That person deserves something for always being the host, and why not give them something that you know they will use. This list of Black Owned Gifts for Home Entertainers has a little bit of something for everyone no matter what type of gatherings they host. There is something for everything from game night to dinner, in fact you should come to Buy Black Main Street every month and plan a “Black Owned Night” where you try and share some of the great businesses you found right here. Thank me later.
For the sophisticated host, we have to get into the event with Trade Street Jam Co. . This Black owned brand of jams and hot sauces are great multi-use products for your party hosting friends. The first use is on your charcuterie board alongside your meat and cheese selections. The second is in mixed drinks, to bring a new spin to your favorites, or you can check out their recipes for something new.
If you have chips of any kind you need something to dip them in. Kyvan Foods Apple Salsas are flavorful without being overpowering. Spicy and Mild are both delicious blends of great ingredients. You can now find this in Target stores in the South Eastern US or order online from Kyvan themselves or the marketplaces on Walmart, Amazon, and Lowes.
Dipt Dips are another option if you want a dip that isn’t tomato based. Get these great dips with natural ingredients from Union Kitchen in DC.
If you want great flavors and plenty of options, then Flavor Addicts Popcorn should be on your list. This brand has enough flavor options that you can find something for everyone, and you can mix them together in your hand for your own personal blend.
E-40, real name Earl Stevens is a mogul. From fast food restaurants, to CPG brands, music and wine, this hip hop impresario is making his mark in a variety of fields. Earl Stevens Selections is his wine label and it offers a great selection of wine varieties for when you’re hosting an event. These bottles won’t break your pockets but are unique when compared to the average wine blend.
Love Corkscrew Wine was created by founder Chrishon Lampley to bring fun, fellowship and inclusivity to the wine market. The Chicago based brand offers half a dozen different blends with fun names that are buzzworthy. You can find this wine all over or, for your ease, get bottles shipped directly to you and try them all.
Until recently, wine lovers of color had few choices. While it has gotten better, it can still be somewhat difficult to find choices while you are shopping. This is what inspired Lashonda Fort-Modest to develop her own brand, Melanated Wine, for people of color. Melanated Wine is her way to make wine more accessible to people who look like us. These wine blends are another option for a nice gift for the home party host.
Estelle Colored Glass is a great black woman owned business that offers beautiful looking stemware, cake and pie trays and more. These make a great presentation so your friend or family member who hosts will love them. They also are great for the Aunties who bake too, getting a pie plate or cake stand will let that famous pound cake or cobbler be the center of attention at every family function.
Make your party hoster’s life much easier with the helpful non-alcoholic cocktails from Mocktail Club. These products are uniquely crafted with flavors that you don’t normally see in a product of this type. If you want to enjoy yourself without alcohol, these cocktail blends are perfect for the party. They also feature prebiotics and antioxidants so you can get a health benefit as well.
Blvck Spades
Game Night isn’t game night without the cards. Blvck Spades is a black owned brand of playing cards that offers up unique cards with gorgeous designs. Everything from the box to the cards itself make a statement and these cards make a great gift for the card player or the host.
Another option for your playing card needs is The Game of Spades. This brand has it’s own high quality playing cards for your Spades games. They also have a great kit that includes a scorepad, pen, and instructions (for beginners of course).
When it’s time to get the party going and people really up and moving, there is nothing like charades. But regular charades is missing a critical ingredient, the culture. That is where Just Play Entertainment and Hip Hop Charades comes in. You know how to play charades, act out the card and have your friends guess, with a hip hop twist.
Taboo is another great game that has traditionally not been one that really fits within the culture. That’s why Black Owned Games created Taboo for the Culture. This brings the traditional wordplay game into modern times with new categories and terms.
