On June 19th 1865 Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas to inform enslaved African Americans that the Civil War had ended and they were free. This important holiday, also known as “America’s second Independence Day” is celebrated annually. To celebrate, red food and drinks are prepared, including Red Velvet cupcakes and strawberries as discussing the importance of the day and gathering with friends and family. Educating ourselves around this historic day and highlighting the achievements of Black owned businesses and individuals are another couple of ways to celebrate Juneteenth.
To celebrate, Giftagram is proud to announce their partnership with renowned cognac producer Hennessy to create an exclusive, specially curated Hennessy Juneteenth Kit in collaboration with Black owned businesses for a memorable experience.
Why Hennessy?
The leader in Cognac, the Maison Hennessy has shone around the world with its exceptional know-how for more than 250 years. Built on founder Richard Hennessy’s spirit of conquest, the brand is present in more than 160 countries. Based in the heart of the Charente region, Hennessy is also a steadfast pillar of the regional economy. The House’s success and longevity are rooted in the excellence of its cognacs, each of which is born of a unique process of transmission of know-how from generation to generation. As a crown jewel of the LVMH Group, Hennessy is a major contributor to French international trade, with 99% of production sold in export, and a worldwide ambassador for the French art de vivre.
With Giftagram’s expertise in creating custom programs with premium gifts and brands, with tailored dashboards and packaging and production, it was a natural fit for Hennessy to approach Giftagram to partner together once again. Hennessy had conceptualized the kit in support of Black owned businesses to celebrate this monumental holiday. The Juneteenth Kit includes hand-picked products along with a cocktail recipe book.

Memorable Unboxing Moments
Hennessy along with Giftagram has created a one of a kind gift box that draws inspiration from the Hennessy Cognac color, touching on hues of rich brown, cognac, and cream with gold accents for the outer shell of the kit. The attention to detail is also continued in the booklet finished with the outer box with Black excellence, elegance and luxury.
In addition to the products themselves, the Hennessy Cocktail kit also includes a bespoke booklet that introduces the Hennessy Juneteenth program, drink recipes, information about the featured Black-owned businesses and Never Stop Never Settle Society. The Never Stop, Never Settle Society invests and empowers Black entrepreneurs who continue to make a lasting impact on their community, through the Never Stop Never Settle Society Acceleration Fund.
