Marimo moss balls, whiskey stones and truffles
With giving season so near, it’s time to shop for dear ones. Here’s a list of nine affordable gifts that are either made by women or from women-owned companies. And they’re all just a click and send away.
Custom address stamp
Cost: $27
Typo Boutique’s custom address stamp will hit a soft spot with snail-mail fans. Bring it as a gift to a holiday party, housewarming or wedding.
Marimo moss balls
Cost: $28
These miniature, bright green moss balls make the perfect pet: They’re low-maintenance and hard-to-kill. All they require is a lot of patience. These aquatic plants only grow five millimeters per year.
Ritual multivitamins
Cost: $30 per month
Buy the women in your family good health with multivitamins from Ritual, a company that prides itself on ingredient transparency. Each subscribed month, you’ll get 30 days’ worth of vitamins for $30.
Away x Tile luggage tag
Cost: $30
For that friend who’s always traveling, this luggage tag is a serious lifesaver. Tile’s Bluetooth tracker, paired with an app, makes it easy to find your belongings anywhere. It’s a little peace of mind you can give them for the holidays.
Whiskey stones
Cost: $35
Made out of soapstone and marble, these rocks — designed by Runa Klock — replace your everyday ice cubes. Freeze these pieces before you add them to a cocktail for extra style.
Elements Truffles
Cost: $30 for box of 24 truffles
Founder Alak Vasa left her Wall Street life to become a chocolate maker. Try four of her flavors (i.e. raspberry with beet root infusion, rose with cardamom infusion) in one impressive gift box, where each truffle is only sweetened with raw honey.
Fem bodysuit
Cost: $40
Nothing is worse than being stuck in an uncomfortable bodysuit all day, so this one from Yatir Clothing is a breath of fresh air. It’s soft, velvety and — best of all — stretchy.
Mokuyobi dopp pouch
Cost: $45
Keep all your toiletries inside this travel pouch, printed in Mokuyobi’s signature bright colors and whimsical print.
Goldbely’s monthly pie subscription
Cost: $49
Imagine a world where a box of pie comes to your door once a month, every month. Goldbely, a food mail order service, can make that happen. This New York-based start up has popular pies from cities all over America, and it ships out pies expertly packaged — with ice packs and a cardboard pie box.
