Use your holiday money for the culture
Support your community and shield your pocketbook this holiday season by shopping smart and shopping Black! Now, more than ever Black-women entrepreneurs need your support amid economic instability and roars from the highest levels of government and commerce about diversity, equity and exclusion!
So, hunni pie, I’m going to give you five fabulous gift ideas that support the culture and make you look like the best gift-giver ever! Take a look below and get to shopping!
- Beauty & Self-Care Boxes – Brands like The Lip Bar and Mented Cosmetics deliver melanin magic in every shade.
- Wellness Journals – Try the Therapy for Black Girls guided journal or Therapy Is Sexy for intentional healing.
- Home Fragrances – Light up that Secret Santa gift exchange with bougie (that’s French for candle) from Harlem Candle Co. or Isabis Candle Co. Both you and your gift selection will be an instant vibe.
- For the Children – Gift the littles in your life inspirational reads like What Is Light? and My Rainy Day Rocket Ship written by the original Glow Girl (moi), Markette Sheppard.
- Small Luxuries – Beautiful satin hair wraps or locally made jewelry go a long way.
These gifts carry heart, heritage, and holiday cheer, without the financial hangover.
