It’s the most wonderful time of the year and this season (and every season) of gift-giving it’s great to go outside of the box and think of ways to support small and Black-owned businesses. So if you’re still on the hunt for the perfect gift for your friend, this Black owned gift guide should help you out and at the very least get the ideas flowing.
Black owned gift guide for the…
There are a TON of Black-owned businesses thriving in 2022 (but there can and should always be more.) But to narrow it down this list is broken down into four categories: gifts for the (1) luxe babe (2) self-care fanatic (3) foodie and (4) working woman.
For the Luxe Babe
For a receiver with expensive taste (and a giver with deep pockets) these gifts will be sure to bring a smile to their face. The Black luxury designers featured in this section have taken the world of social media by storm. Traditional designer bags, shoes, and jewelry are nice but these days the “it girls” are rocking Hanifa dresses with an Anima Iris or Brandon Blackwood purse and some Kendall Miles shoes to match.

Even though 2021 saw us “outside” a lot more, there is still plenty of room to get our rent money’s worth by staying at home, curling up with a good journal and cup of tea, in our softest robe and favorite candle lit. You can give and receive all of those things with the items included in this section of the Black owned gift guide which is meant for the person who loves to reflect and and enjoy their own company from time to time.
