Your Guide to Gifting Black-Owned Brands at Every Price Point

There’s an old adage around gifts that states, "It’s the thought that counts,” and I’d argue it’s both true and false. This year’s holiday season and gifts will (and should) be different because anything we buy at this moment in time will directly affect the businesses we’re buying from. And it’s more important than ever to support Black-owned fashion brands and beauty brands.

Over the past few years, the world has continued to grapple with systemic racism and police brutality, and that awareness has extended into every facet of life. The New York Times reported that only 12% of Black business owners received funding to help their businesses through this time. This fact doesn’t even remotely speak to how Black creatives struggle to break into and stay in the fashion industry. As individuals, we may not be able to reform industries or business financing, but we can support the brands that align with our values and practice conscious consumption.

So ahead, you’ll find a few gift ideas that reinvigorate thoughtful gift gifting. If you are lucky enough to be able to give gifts to your loved ones this year, why not show some love to one of these 72 Black-owned fashion, beauty, and wellness brands?
