As the holidays rapidly approach, I’ve compiled a list of some of the coolest gifts for a good cause for all of the Hot Grrrls in your life.
For the one that’s always busy
Slingshot Organizer
The Slingshot Collective is a radical newspaper based in the Bay Area. Aside from being super cute and convenient for planning, their organizers have a ton of extra cool resources like book lists, period trackers, abortion access resources, tips on dealing with cops, and more. The organizers come in three sizes and tons of fun colors. Slingshot also has this super sick list of local bookstores you can support by purchasing the planner in-store!
For the self-care lover
Cavo Candles
Cavo is a black-owned candle brand that sells vegan, 100% soy organic wax. Every candle comes with a custom playlist for you to listen to while you unwind. I recommend the After a Good Cry candle, because, as a certified crybaby, I know that nothing feels better than a good cry.
For the band tee wearer
Tees for Togo
Founded by Kathleen Hannah, each Tees 4 Togo t-shirt proceeds go to Peace Sister, a charity founded by Tina Kampor. 100% of the profits from each t-shirt send a girl in Togo, Africa to school for a whole year. All of the shirts feature counter-cultural icons and art from your favorite artists.
For the coffee snob
Boon Boona Coffee subscription
Boon Boona is an Ethopian-owned Seattle coffee shop that combines Eritrean and Seattle coffee culture. All of Boon Boonas coffee beans are sustainably produced in Africa. For $34, you can subscribe to receive two 12 oz bags of coffee on a weekly or monthly basis. As a born-and-raised Seattle coffee snob, I can say Boon Boona is my go-to local coffee shop, and their coffee doesn’t disappoint.
For the Skater
SkatePal Merch
SkatePal is a non-profit organization that helps build communities for young people in Palestine through skateboarding. SkatePal is responsible for “Rosa Park, Palestine’s largest skatepark. All US orders must be submitted by December 12th, and all UK orders must be submitted by the 15th.
For the best-dressed cool girl
Nayf AND Wavey
Nayf AND Wavey is a woman-owned and woman-operated skate/streetwear fashion brand. All of their pieces are handmade in Brooklyn and unisex. All of Nayf AND Waveys pieces are the perfect combination of trendy and unique and are sure to impress your coolest friends.
For the book worm
ThriftBooks Gift Card
Thriftbooks is the largest independent online retailer of used books. A ThriftBooks E-Gift Card will allow the reader in your life to not only reduce book waste but buy more books for less without shelling out money to Jeff Bezos.
For the film buff
Girls on Tops
Girls on Tops has the coolest film merch out there. All of their T-shirts have simple black text with the names of your favorite female filmmakers and actresses. Their mission is to make women in film like rockstars, by making band tees for them. You might have seen their shirts on people like Timothee Chalamet, or Greta Gerwig, and who wouldn’t want to twin with them?
