90 Gifts From Black-Owned Businesses to Give This Holiday Season

‘Tis the season for giving. And what’s a better feeling than finding the perfect gift for your friends and family? Giving back to the Black community while doing so.

By shopping from Black-owned stores this holiday season, not only will you sprinkle a little joy into a loved one’s world during a particularly lonelier festive season, but you’ll also be helping to keep Black businesses running. Many have been forced to shut down at disproportionate rates over the course of the pandemic.

Here–90 gifts from Black-owned businesses to give during the holidays and beyond. From a one-of-a-kind Sean Brown rug for the homebody in your life, to an it-girl handbag from EDAS for your fashion forward friend—there is something for everyone on your nice list.

For the Homebody

We all have that one friend who will pick a night in over anything else. And whether we like it or not, we’re forced to be homebound as much as possible during the pandemic. So why not help someone in your life bring new energy into their space during an otherwise difficult time? Add a pop of color to their kitchen with a Sincerely Tommy home chair, and keep the wine flowing with these colored glasses from Estelle. A cozy set from Tier with warm Brother Vellies socks never hurt anyone either.

For the Foodie

When in doubt, give the gift of good eats. Have a girlfriend with a sweet tooth? Grab the Ginger Snap cookies from Partake or CBD-enriched honey. Perhaps you know someone who’s trying to sharpen their baking skills in general. The Black Girl Baking cookbook and a funky apron from Royal Jelly will steer them in the right direction.
