Meet the Winners

Cecil and Lou: Best Overall

Cecil and Lou have mastered the art of blending timeless tradition with a fresh, modern flair. Known for their hand-smocked, embroidered, and monogrammed children’s clothing, they bring charm and elegance to every little wardrobe. But what truly sets them apart is their heartfelt story. Founded by lifelong friends and sister-in-laws Ashley and Blythe McCain (who share not just birthdays but a shared love for classic southern style), the brand was born from a desire to balance meaningful work with family life.

Inspired by their own children, they’ve built a brand rooted in community, connection, and excellence. Cecil and Lou’s commitment to making high-quality, affordable clothing for kids has captured the hearts of parents everywhere, and it’s easy to see why they’ve earned the top spot this year.

AnaOno: Best Social Enterprise Ecommerce

AnaOno was created to fill a gap that so many people experience but rarely talk about. After her own breast cancer diagnosis and surgery, founder Dana Donofree realized how hard it was to find lingerie that properly fit and felt good. She channelled that experience into designing pieces that meet the unique needs of those navigating life after surgery, whether they have one breast, no breasts, or reconstructed breasts.

Through thoughtful design and a drive to support others, AnaOno empowers people to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. Plus, with AO Heals, AnaOno offers resources and guidance for those navigating breast surgeries and recovery. From free bras to post-surgery guides, they ensure no one feels alone during this journey, providing care and compassion every step of the way.

If you’re a coffee lover, Luminous Coffee is the kind of brand that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled upon something special (and you have!). Founded by Mason Salisbury and Lexus Quirante, two coffee enthusiasts with over 20 years of experience, this brand celebrates the art of great coffee. Everything they do, from sourcing the finest beans to crafting instant and cold brew options, is driven by quality and passion.

What really sets Luminous Coffee apart is its unique sales model where they sell their coffee just 24 hours a week, every Friday. They focus on creating a coffee service that feels thoughtful, personal, and unforgettable with every sip. Their motto, “Always Be Extra,” says it all! They go above and beyond to make every cup extraordinary.

The Plug Drink: Best Ecommerce Product

Taking care of your liver probably isn’t something you think about every day, but The Plug Drink is changing that. Founded by brothers Ray and Justin Kim, the brand started with a simple idea to create a natural, effective way to support liver health. Inspired by South Korea’s innovative recovery products, they introduced a plant-based drink to tackle issues like fatigue and fatty liver disease, which affects millions of Americans.

What’s amazing about The Plug Drink is how they’re helping people prioritize their health in a way that feels accessible and achievable. With a growing presence online and in retail stores, The Plug Drink is making wellness something you can sip on, one bottle at a time.

The Patch Brand: Best Ecommerce Storefront

Imagine taking charge of your wellness without adding one more pill to your routine; that’s the beauty of The Patch Brand. Their easy-to-use adhesive patches are designed to fit seamlessly into busy lives, delivering nutrients for everything from energy to sleep. It’s wellness, simplified, so you can focus on what matters most to you.

What’s just as impressive as their products is the experience they’ve developed for their customers. Their online store feels like it was crafted with you in mind! It’s clean, simple, and easy to navigate. Plus, their commitment to sustainability and value shines through every step of the way, making it clear they care as much about the planet as they do about your health.

Meat N’ Bone: Best Reviews

Meat N’ Bone is proof that premium quality and care make all the difference. Founded by Luis E.

Their dedication to rigorous sourcing standards shines through in every cut, ensuring customers get the best quality for anything from a cozy weeknight meal to a memorable celebration.

HatLaunch: Best Social Media Campaign

HatLaunch knows how to have fun while building a brand that people love. Their social media campaigns are a perfect mix of humour, ingenuity, and personality, making it impossible not to smile when you see their posts. They’ve built a strong connection with their audience through clever memes and engaging videos, keeping things light and relatable.

Behind the laughs is an impressive story of hard work and success. What started as a side hustle in 2018 has grown into a business that’s shipped over 1 million hats! It’s a milestone that speaks to their dedication and the trust they’ve earned from customers. HatLaunch creates something meaningful and memorable for their community.

Alchemize Fightwear: Rising Star Award

Alchemize Fightwear was invented for women who refuse to back down, whether on the mat or in life. Founded by Maya Nazareth, a jiu-jitsu athlete who couldn’t find gear made for women, the brand is on a mission to change the game in combat sports. With functional, comfortable designs that are made to move, Alchemize Fightwear gives women the confidence to step into traditionally male-dominated spaces and make them their own.

Their luxury candles combine striking designs with unforgettable fragrances, turning an everyday ritual into something one-of-a-kind. Each candle is crafted with care, blending high-end aesthetics and evocative scents that instantly elevate your surroundings.
