A Gift Guide Full of Only Women Owned Brands
The holiday season is upon us (yay) and as someone who considers gifting my favourite Olympic sport, I have taken it upon myself to help you shop for your loved ones or co-workers or Secret Santa parties.
Everything you will see below is from a woman owned brand because now, more than ever it’s important to support and champion women who are doing amazing things!
Plus I truly believe that where you make your purchases helps shape the world you end up living in.
Opening spiel over, let’s get to the good [read: great], stuff.
Gift Ideas For The Corporate/ 9-5 Baddie
This scent is not only incredibly priced, it’s the perfect office friendly signature scent.
It’s whispy jasmine florals and slightly sweet amber all with a gorgeous creamy base.
This smells like you’re sitting on cloud 9 and it has that same crystalline sweetness that Baccarat Rouge has but with a twist [and at a much more reasonable price].
2. Vani-T Lip Glaze Sheer Gloss
This is a slightly plumping, sheerly coloured lip gloss.
It’s perfect for throwing into a work bag and reapplying and the colour is sheer enough that it won’t ruffle any feathers or look out of place no matter the environment
3. Kirstin Ash Glow Huggies
I have owned a pair of these (in gold, but they come in silver as well) for over a year now and I am not exaggerating when I say I’ve worn them almost every day since.
They are the perfect non-boring mini hoop for every occasion and they would perfectly accent anyone’s daily ensemble
4. Wispy Hair Wax/ Pomade Stick
If the person you’re buying for has a signature slicked-down hairstyle, this is the product for them. They won’t even remember what a flyaway is after using this.
5. Holme Beauty Stay Glazes - in any of those gorgeous shades
This is the lip product you apply in the morning and don’t need to top the colour up throughout the day.
Trust me, I’ve tested this first hand.
This will last. You may need to go over it with a lip balm for moisture after you have your packed lunch, but that colour will still be there. It’s divine.
Gift Ideas For The Person Who Has Everything
This discovery set literally comes wrapped up in a bow. It’s a luxury experience from the get-go.
The brand has a scent for all tastes and I love the little info cards that each scent comes with.
2. Conserving Beauty InstaMelt™ Day Dissolver Wipes
Did someone say individually packaged dissolving makeup wipes? Yes they did.
These are ideal for packing for holidays or even keeping in a handbag because you never know when you’ll need them.
They let you maintain your double cleanse with almost no fuss.
3. By Me & Crew Get Started Pack
I know you’ve probably seen the at home gel nail polish kits but have you seen these gel nail sticker kits?
Imagine being able to do super detailed nail art by yourself at home. How chic!
4. Surf & Body Summer Glow Shimmer Body Oil
This is like a glowy highlight but for your body. Plus it smells like summer in a bottle.
I have never looked healthier or more like I’m on holiday [even when I wasn’t] than when I had this product on.
And one of my current favourite games is figuring out perfumes to layer with it.
5. Phos Studio Reviving Copper Massager
Who doesn’t want a super luxurious scalp massager?
It’s a gorgeous item that would look gorgeous on any vanity, but it’s also functional.
Scalp massaging helps boost blood circulation, collagen production and it’s the ultimate de-stressor.
6. Tidha Detangleer Hair Comb
You know what this person probably doesn’t have?
A super luxe hair comb. Not only are combs better for curly or wavy hair; using a hair comb is better for parting hair, creating slick hairstyles and reducing hair static.
This luxe comb would also look super gorgeous on anyone’s vanity just like in all those pinterest photos I can’t seem to escape.
Gift Ideas For Secret Santa/ Kris Kringle/ Co-Worker Safe Options
This would also be a fabulous stocking stuffer because it’s so cute and tiny but the lip balm itself is very moisturizing.
I have been using it mostly as a lip sleeping mask but it fits into most pockets and bags meaning they could take it with them anywhere they go.
2. Ovev Wellness Scalp Renewal Brush
I bought myself one of these to use in the shower when I wash my hair and immediately my partner claimed it for himself.
This is an easily-likable gift which seems pretty basic but will add so much luxury and bliss to everyone’s shower experience.
3. Go-To Skincare Overnight Success Holiday Kit
You will instantly become your giftee’s favourite person after they unwrap this.
It’s an adorable little set containing a mini eye cream and the cutest sleep mask you have ever seen.
It’s the perfect blend of practical enough that you know they’ll use it but also a luxe item they may not think to purchase for themselves.
4. Good Living Only ZEN Bio Cellulose Sheet Masks 3 Pack
Sheet masks are a super safe bet for a secret santa or for gifting someone you don’t know all that well.
If they love skincare already; great these are right within their wheelhouse, if they aren’t a skincare connoisseur already; this could become their new fancy, self-care thing that they do.
It’s a win-win.
5. Ultraviolette Lil Glow Givers Set
Show them you really care by gifting them the gift of future-proofed skin.
Ultraviolette makes some of my favourite sunscreen formulas of all time and this little set lets your person experience 2 of them in the cutest way possible.
6. Spring Street Style Teddy Travel Bag
I don’t know about you, but I looooove a cute little makeup bag. This one is in that very trendy teddy fabric and it’s the perfect size to hold a few bits and bobs.
It could be a makeup bag, pencil case or snack container. The possibilities are endless.
Gift Ideas For The Self-Care Queen
*queen here is gender neutral
These come in multiple designs and they are the ultimate self-care hack.
With these, your loved one can turn any eye cream into a eye mask.
Did someone say accessible luxury?
2. Muse by Gaia Hair and Lash Growth Bundle
Show me 1 self-care icon who doesn’t want longer lashes or fuller hair, I’ll wait.
The thing is, there isn’t one. Get them this bundle that addresses both desires. You’re welcome.
3. Tidha Gua Sha Massage Stone
Gua sha is a traditional Chinese medicine practice used to help with healing, stiff muscles, oxygen flow and lymphatic drainage.
Help them recreate Face Gym at home with this super affordable, lux-looking tool.
4. Oat Body Body Scrubs
Available in 3 mouth-watering scents; chocolate, coffee and peach, these are perfect for a luxury, self-care moment at home and I promise you they will love the experience of using these
5. Phos Studio Turmeric & Neem Face Mask
This is a clay mask in the most refined way it can be.
It’s gold in colour which is just super fun but it contains incredible ingredients like turmeric, witch hazel, neem and glycerin.
It’s brightening, anti-inflammatory and not at all drying.
6. Bondi Blades Dermaplaning At Home Starter Kit
Face shaving is like the number 1 hack for helping your skincare absorb better and your makeup lay smoother.
This kit [especially this gel] has changed the face shaving game for me.
Highly recommend if the person you’re buying for already shaves their face and you want to add a little more luxury to that experience for them.
Gift Ideas For The Home Body
This is not only a fun read from two incredible women, it’s also one of the cutest coffee table books you can get your hands on.
She’s a multi-functional slay!
2. SWIISH Limited Edition Desk Set
Let me paint you a picture; imagine this super cute little set-up sitting right next to the kettle in someone’s kitchen.
SWIISH genuinely has a supplement for every desire and this kit comes with a greens powder, gut fibre powder, collagen powder and a collagen coffee which could very easily be their new staple drink.
3. Plush Cleansing Set
One of my favourite things to do on days at home, is sit in front of the TV with my cup of coffee whilst doing a face mask.
These two products help elevate that experience by keeping hair out of my face and stopping the sensory nightmare of water dripping down my arms when I wash the mask off.
Yes please.
4. Hayle + Shine 2025 Still Life Calendar
This will be my 3rd year in a row purchasing this calendar and I will never stop.
It’s got the most gorgeous, vibrant prints that after the year is over, you can frame and hang around your house. I cannot say enough good things about this.
It’s one of my favourite purchases of all time and I guarantee you whoever you’re shopping for will love this too.
5. Holme Beauty A Sunday Clean Candle
This candle not only looks gorgeous, the vessel is stunning and it would make the perfect home for your makeup brushes after you’ve finished burning it.
The sage and cedar scent is beautifully green and fresh and dare I say, very easily likeable for a home scent.
Happy gifting friends!
