Our Women-Owned Holiday Gift Guide
Each year we proudly highlight incredible women-owned businesses to support while doing your holiday shopping (and all year round) in our Holiday Gift Guide.
Why? Because what we buy matters! How we spend money is a way to vote for more of what we want to see in the world.
Plus, the pandemic, inflation and supply-chain issues have made the last few years really challenging for small businesses. Our support will make a big difference.
We’ve compiled a list of your (and our) favorite brands. Thank you for sending in all of your new favorites this year.
P.S. If you are feeling strapped for cash this holiday season (cough: many of us!), head to the bottom of this article for ideas to stretch your gift budget!

get creative with your gift budget:
If you are feeling like your holiday budget is already bursting at the seams, I hear you. With inflation, things are more expensive all around. And that means less money available for the holidays (which will probably cost more money). If you are looking to get creative with some friends and family, here are some ideas:
Make a saving, investing or debt paydown swap. My sister and I made a pact a few years ago to save in each other's honor instead of getting each other gifts. We transfer a specific amount of money to our savings and celebrate it together.
Make a gift budget pact. If you’re not ready to pull the plug on gifts altogether, you can make a pact with said friend or family to tone down the gifts this year. You might be surprised how relieved others are when you bring this up. They’re feeling the pressure too!
Host a white elephant exchange. Hosting a gift exchange with a group where everyone buys one gift (and you can put a dollar limit on it) is a great way to add some fun while reducing the amount of gifts you need to buy.
