Sunday Edit Gift Guide: Black-Owned Brands

Authored by Grace Gallagher

The holidays are a great time to follow through on your promise to buy more frequently from Black-owned brands. Whether you’re shopping for a person who can’t stop losing their face mask, a jewelry lover, or someone who’s into one-of-a-kind items, you can find whatever you’re looking for on this list of Black-owned brands to shop this holiday season and beyond. And while there are a few splurge-worthy gifts on the list, most of the items come in under $50, a holiday miracle indeed.

Eye-catching but neutral enough for any space, these gorgeous velvet pillow covers pop. Designed by Atlanta-based artist, Rachelle Porter, in partnership with West Elm, these pillowcases are inspired by West African weaving patterns, and they’re designed and made in women-owned factories in Atlanta.

Necklace

For the friend who loves minimalistic and elegant gold jewelry, look no further than this snake chain necklace from Stella & Haas. The brand launched in October 2019 with the intention to bring cool accessories to everyone at an affordable price point. This necklace stands on its own, but it also looks chic stacked with other chains.

Reed diffuser

This reed diffuser fills a room with the luxe scent of cardamom, grapefruit, ginger, amber, cedar and more. It’s super easy to use (plus no one needs to remember to blow a candle out at the end of the night) and the white glass bottle with black reeds looks striking in any bathroom.

Mini Bag

These beautiful cloth bags will hold anything from makeup to a few credit cards, to loose change or pencils and pens. Kuba cloth is an intricate weaving, embroidery and applique technique done primarily by people of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and this set of two little bags is handmade in Zambia (though it ships from the US in 10-12 days). Each bag is a little different making this a one-of-a-kind gift no one will already have.

Elevate your cocktail with healthier mixers from Avec. This sampler pack includes three of each flavor: jalapeno & blood orange, ginger, hibiscus & pomegranate, grapefruit & pomelo, and yuzu & lime. Low in calories and sugar and made from real juices and natural botanicals, these bubbly drinks are full of flavor and can be paired with whatever spirit the giftee loves (and bonus points if you include a bottle of that, too).

Eyeshadow Palette

You can always have another eyeshadow palette, especially when it comes from makeup mastermind, Pat McGrath. This includes 10 richly-pigmented shades in earthy reds and rich metallics, and the mix of mattes and subtle shimmers means whoever receives this (no judgment if you gift it to yourself) will be serving up endless takes on the smoky eye (which will definitely be visible over Zoom).

Face Mask Chain

A face mask chain is a very on-trend gift for 2020, especially for the friend that can’t stop losing their mask. Made in the USA and dipped in 14K gold, the chain has a lobster clasp on each end that clips easily onto any mask and prevents it from dropping. You could pair this with a face mask from a Black-owned brand, like this pretty geometric one from Saint Ola.

Nail Polish

Habit nail polish is non-toxic and vegan, and the Santa Sangre is a beautiful burgundy fit for the holiday season. If red’s not their thing, there are tons (seriously, so many) colors from saturated brights to muted neutrals or shiny metallics. Good luck choosing just one shade to gift.
