Sustainable Brown Girl Holiday Gift Guide
Updated: Dec 21, 2020
As the holidays approach and many of us are thinking of purchasing gifts for our loved ones, here is a list of gift ideas from brands run by sustainable brown girls.
Factors taken in to consideration with the creation of the list include
- founder/creator/artist is a woman of color
- vegan, organic, recycled, handmade, fair trade, ethically sourced
- affordable ($50 or less)
- bonus: earth-friendly packaging
By no means is this list exhaustive of all sustainable WOC-owned businesses, but merely a starting point for a few gift ideas.
