Clever and Creative Black-Owned Holiday Gifts You Won’t Be Able to Resist

Ready, set…exhale. Though Black Friday and Cyber Monday have yet to arrive, I’m determined to get through it all in one piece. In other words, I want to avoid throwing all caution to the wind because the last thing I need this holiday season is a negative balance. It’s never too early to start manifesting luck, and markdowns, right? Gifting is a top priority—specifically for the black women in my life—and this year, I want to invest in Black-owned beauty brands and more that are made for and by us. Sure, our spending power is undoubtedly the strongest, but if “Black girl magic” is real, perhaps the presents we get this year should celebrate that undisputed and widespread fact.

And what better way to up the ante than by supporting small businesses made for and by women of color? We love shopping for more established brands in both beauty (SheaMoisture, Carol’s Daughter) and fashion (Pyer Moss, Omondi). At the same time, they are others who have been around just as long, but are overlooked, as well as newbies who are worth the hype. Whichever direction you choose, there are plenty of unique and creative finds waiting.

With that being said, if your goal is to steer clear of those routinely boring gift ideas, consider adding any of these melanin-powered finds to your shopping list. From a reimagined Daria pin to a handmade Assata Shakur-inspired journal, the options are affordable and just waiting to be Instagrammed. In the immortal words of Congresswoman Maxine Waters, reclaim your time, ahead.
