PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Christina Marie Noel for Better Made Easy

[RALEIGH, NC (2024)] — Better Made Easy is excited to announce the launch of a limited-edition gift box to support Western North Carolina (WNC) artists impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Each box features items crafted locally in WNC and an exclusive print from Asheville-based artist, Anna Bryant, whose studio was wiped out in the hurricane.

100% of profits from sales from this box will go to Western North Carolina-based Artists through the NC Arts Foundation Disaster Relief Fund.

Thanks to the matching donations of the Carlyle Adams Foundation and Mary Duke Biddle Foundation, at least $75 will be donated for each of these gifts sold.

Inside the Western NC Artists Box, you’ll find:

Original 5×7 Screenprint, signed by artist Anna Bryant

Hot Chocolate from French Broad Chocolate (featured in Oprah’s Favorite Things)

Appalachian Mountain Honey from Wehrloom Honey

OG Chocolate Covered Saltines from Legally Addictive

“The River” Firelight Candle in a White Matte Ceramic with Bamboo Lid

Sarilla Spiced Apple Tea, sourced from a regenerative farm in Rwanda

Handwritten note, fulfillment, and a recyclable gift box, compostable packing tape that matches the art

This box is more than just a collection of local products—it’s a taste of the community and values of Western North Carolina.

By pre-ordering, supporters can ensure their access to this limited edition gift box, as only 100 will be available for purchase. Ordering by Dec. 12th will ensure shipping in time for Christmas.
