FOR HER

ButterTree Blankets

Give moms, grandmas, besties, sisters, daughters, and more a reason to feel your love daily. ButterTree Blankets is a holiday gift essential that keeps on giving year-round. One touch and family and friends will be enveloped in softness and warmth. This is how I say “love” to those women most important in my life.

Nothing says fall and the holidays like a favorite soft blanket. When it’s time to pull out a blanket, ButterTree has microfleece, sustainable options, including blanket hoodies, that always feel rich and fluffy even after tossing them in the washing machine.

With over 15,000 reviews with a 4.9 rating, the brand embraces the cozy side of life. It can’t be overstated how super soft these blankets feel! Perfect for those hard-to-shop-for folks, ButterTree Blankets is a premium gift with inspirational messaging in 14 designs and various vibrant colors. Spanish versions are also offered.

Steven Singer

No need for an icebreaker, Steven Singer Jewelers Frozen 24kt gold dipped rose is guaranteed to melt her heart. Part of our sparkle collection, this color means cool and sparkly. This real rose dipped in gold has tiny sparkles throughout the petals that make it glisten and shine like freshly fallen snow. Just like a snowflake, each rose is one-of-a-kind and unique just like your love. What’s more romantic than that?

Flowers are the perfect gift for loved ones, but they are dead and gone in under a week. Steven Singer Jewelers has hand crafted, real roses that are preserved and dipped in real 24 karat gold to last a lifetime. They are perfect as a gift on their own, as a stocking stuffer, but best in a bouquet. The best part is that you can build a bouquet over time as you add roses for different occasions. At the end, they have something stunning that reminds them every day of each special occasion and how much they are loved.

Want it even easier? Steven Singer offers his exclusive subscription to build a bouquet. You can pick the dates, the messages, the colors, the metals and the amount of roses in your bouquet. Then sit back and look like a hero. You won’t be charged until they shipped and it’s easy to cancel. They even come with a lifetime guarantee.

Real Essentials

It’s time to start shopping for Holiday gifts for friends and family. One of the best universal gifts to receive is soft, warm clothes, especially in colder weather. Real Essentials is the go-to brand for all things cozy and comfortable. Shop their hoodies, sweatpants, joggers, long sleeves, and more this Holiday season.

Petunia Pickle Bottom

Tis the season to sleigh your gift-giving game — and there’s no present more perfect (and versatile) than a Petunia Pickle Bottom Criss-Cross Sling. Light and compact with cleverly placed pockets and a design that leaves room for all your must-haves, it’s the one bag that’s essential for your essentials. Whether you’re running errands or rushing to a holiday party, the Petunia Pickle Bottom Criss-Cross Sling is the perfect stylish sidekick this holiday season.

MyChelle

MyCHELLE’s Refining Sugar Cleanser is a natural, multi-tasking cleanser that gently exfoliates surface impurities. It transforms into a creamy, foaming lather that leaves skin feeling smoother, softer and hydrated. This cleanser is boosted with Peptides and plant extracts to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is made without parabens, petroleum, phthalates, silicones, sulfates, ureas, artificial fragrances, and artificial colors.

Susan’s Own

Susan’s Own Full Spectrum CBD Bath Bombs, from the Colorado-based CBD lifestyle company that brought us Blazy Susan, are amazing! They have lush floral scents to create a wonderful aromatherapy experience. And they’re flecked with biodegradable glitter and real rose and lavender flakes. But they don’t just smell good and look pretty — they contain 100mg of fast-absorbing full-spectrum CBD to melt away the stress and strain of the day. Choose Lavender for soothing and calming and Rose for an uplifting, energizing bath.

Regelica

Regelica is a brand new Korean-made skin care line that harnesses the powers of bakuchiol and other botanical ingredients to achieve the same results as ingredients like retinol but without the irritation, photosensitivity or other contraindications. Their Mandelic & Edelweiss Renewal Serum exfoliates, stimulates collagen and balances the skin with a combination of 8% mandelic acid, edelweiss extract (a strong but gentle free radical scavenger that is much more stable and less irritating than vitamin C) and resveratrol. It visibly corrects wrinkles, pores and pigmentation which makes it the secret of age-resilient skin!

Didi Beauty Co.

The bride will obsess over this Shimmer Lip Gloss With Hyaluronic Acid ($9.99) from Didi Beauty Co. This high shine feels as good as it looks — in six shimmer shades and a clear gloss. One luscious swipe gives lips more to love while hydrating hyaluronic acid enriches from within. Features a non-sticky, super shiny formula with an addictive chocolate scent. Soak your lips in the shade you choose — it’s the perfect finishing touch to every look. Didi Beauty Co. was founded in 2018 to be the most preferred cosmetic brand out of Africa, providing global standard cosmetic products that are both user and eco-friendly. With over 200 distributors covering three continents, thousands of products sold, and several products in development, Didi Beauty Co. is one of the fastest-growing brands in Africa. The first of many, pushing boundaries and redefining the makeup industry.

Crystal

CRYSTAL’s Magnesium Enriched Deodorant Sticks are vegan, and feature Magnesium (a naturally occurring element used in their deodorants to create an easy transition from conventional anti-perspirants). They also offer 24-HOUR odor protection without the downsides of aluminum or drying irritants like baking soda. NO WHITE MARKS! They are also the first and only natural deodorant brand to receive the prestigious Clean Label Project® Purity Award for every product in the company’s line.

J’s Natural Beauty

Made with real ingredients, this Black, woman-owned business supports women, men, and even our pets to achieve just that — natural beauty! The founder has studied natural, organic, and authentic skin and health care for over a decade and uses her expertise to craft loving products that put you first. J’s Natural Beauty’s products are carefully crafted from hand-selected 100% natural ingredients.
