It is crazy to think the Holidays are just a couple of months away. I am putting together my gift list for this year and I noticed, there are not nearly enough women-owned businesses at the front of this year’s “gifts for her” conversations.

Aaaand that is why I’m here! I want to buy things for women, from women. That is why I compiled a list of the women-owned businesses I am definitely buying from this year! From clothing to skincare, these are just a few of the women-owned businesses you should support this holiday season:

Effie’s Paper

You already know I love a good journal. Effie’s Paper is a Black woman owned business selling everything from stationary and coffee mugs to apparel and wall art. Their belief is that The Future is Female and their cute and trendy products reflect that!

Effie’s Paper’s best sellers make such a cute gift box. Empower all of the ladies in your life with a Live Life Notebook, Get Shit Done Coffee Mug, Hi & Bye Stationary Set and The Future is Female Rollerball Pen!

WhisperedJune

Yes, I know it’s a giant cliche to give a candle as a gift, but WhisperedJune is changing the game! Their Dough Bowl Candles are handmade from soy wax and essential oils in a wooden dough bowl. The dough bowl is my favorite part because each vary in color and shape, so it’s more personal and unique

It gives off the perfect amount of fragrance to fill your home, apartment or office! Not to mention, you get an adorable bowl to decorate once the candle is gone! WhisperedJune’s Dough Bowl Candles are definitely on my gift list this year.

The Vintage Royalty

I fell in love with these earrings as soon as I saw them. It is all vintage inspired – hint the name – and make for adorable staples to any outfit. Each earring set is handmade, made to order and based on the reviews, super high quality!

Every piece is different from the next and there are so many to choose from. I am confident that you’re going to have a hard time choosing the perfect pair for your friends… and yourself 😉 

I mean look at The Jean Earrings! Adorable.

Kindred Essence

Definitely gifting their Organic Lavender Body Butter this season but might mess around and grab one for myself too. This New Jersey based, Black woman owned business is full of products you’ll not only want to gift, but fall in love with yourself!

No chemicals, no artificial scents, only natural and organic ingredients! Based on their reviews alone, you can already tell these products are high quality and perfect aromatherapy without even having to try them yourself. But that’s not to say you shouldn’t treat yourself! 

Queen Bean Coffee Company

Who doesn’t love a good sampler pack of new beans? Queen Bean Coffee Company is female-led and has been family owned and operated for four generations! Their coffee sample set is the perfect gift for both casual and intense coffee lovers!

Queen Bean takes personalizing your gift a step further. Tell them a bit about what kind of coffee you’re looking for – dark roasts, light roasts, sustainable single origins, decaf, sweetness level, etc. They use their high level expertise to find the perfect sampler pack for you. Choose from grounds or whole beans and give the gift of comfy, cozy coffee this Holiday season!

These are only a few of the many female-owned and led Etsy shops out there. Give the gift of handmade, natural and organic products from amazing women-led businesses this holiday season! I’m sure every woman in your life will adore these as much as I do!
