There’s nothing like watching everyone in your family light up when they unwrap the perfect gift. Whether you’re looking for unique toys for the kids, a special gift for a mom who needs a little self-care, or a gift that the special man in your life will never forget, there is a Black-owned business that’s got you covered. Here are my gift recommendations that have something for everyone on your list.
FOR HER
Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Divine Blush $38
Pat McGrath is not afraid to push beauty boundaries. This is unmistakable in her popular Mothership Eyeshadow Palettes, which are everything. McGrath’s Skin Fetish blush has an ultra-silky finish and comes in a range of flattering shades that compliment any skin tone.
This formula boasts no eye irritation and no acne breakouts. It layers well with my other skincare and dries completely sheer. It leaves your skin noticeably moisturized and never oily. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer.
Hopefully, you’ve already tapped into all of Honey Pot’s other feminine products (which are loudly loved by rapper Saweetie). These bath bombs smell so good and will elevate any bath routine with cocoa butter and honey. It’s a spa day at home.
Brown Girl Jane Discovery Set $30
Brown Girl Jane celebrates global culture through fine fragrances that uplift beauty and well-being. The perfect gift to explore the collection and find your favorite combination. The packaging is beautiful and they were named as Refinery 29’s Beauty Innovator of the Year.
Each product is a tribute to the wisdom of ancestors, offering a blend of heritage-inspired ingredients and modern skincare innovation. Yes, please!
