As someone born and raised in the Caribbean, I’ve been a student of rum, and its place within a myriad of settings, my entire life. With this has come a deep sense of appreciation for both the heritage of rum, as well as the broader role that it plays in contemporary Caribbean culture. In the US, I believe that there is an enormous opportunity to further elevate the conversation around rum – not only by introducing a high-quality spirit to market but by broadening and challenging the current perception around rum and the occasions for which it might be considered the spirit of choice for today’s consumer. For us, this means embracing a mission to create a contemporary and elevated blend, designed to challenge expectations, and reinvigorate the way people taste, experience, and talk about rum. And so we’re here to bring you something different… and we invite you to join us on that journey. Marc Farrell, Founder of Ten To One

Sh*t That I Knit is a knitwear company based out of Boston, MA. Founder and CKO (Chief Knitting Officer), Christina Pardy, learned how to knit as a 10 year old from the CMO (Chief Mom Officer) in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. After years of knitting gifts for her friends, Christina decided to leave her 9-5 job to pursue her passion for knitting, bringing people together, and having a good laugh. STIK was born. Since that time, STIK has become more than just a knitwear company that creates beautiful, high-quality products. The brand is the backbone of a community made up of people from around the world and is committed to making a positive social impact. When order volume grew beyond the capacity of Christina and the “CMO”, they turned to a talented team of women in Peru to bring the products to life. Working with companies like STIK allows these women the option to knit from home, enabling them to take care of their children while earning an income to support their families. All of STIK’s products are made in Lima, Peru using high-quality, sustainable materials. The line has expanded to include handmade beanies, versatile wraps, and cozy ponchos. STIK has been featured in several prominent publications, most notably on the cover of The Boston Globe, Forbes, NBC Nightly News, Boston Magazine, Bostinno, The Improper Bostonian, Refinery29, Real Simple, Inc., A-Plus ad many more.
