Some women seem to have everything. She’s successful. She’s stylish. If she wants something, she buys it.
So what do you get her?
Things that celebrate her
Art by a Black woman artist. A print, a painting, a sculpture. Something that reflects her.
A book by a Black woman author she hasn’t read yet. Poetry, a novel, a memoir.
A custom portrait of her, or of her family.
A piece of jewelry with meaning. Her initials, a birthstone, a symbol important to her.
Things that take care of her
A spa day. Massage, facial, the full thing.
A silk pillowcase and bonnet set in a beautiful print.
A meal delivery service for a few weeks, so she doesn’t have to cook.
A house cleaning service.
A professional hair appointment at the salon she loves.
Things from Black-owned businesses
Supporting Black-owned businesses is a meaningful choice. Candles, skincare, hair products, jewelry, fashion, stationery. Many are small companies with beautiful products.
Experiences
A class. Cooking, dance, painting, wine tasting.
Tickets. A concert, a play, a comedy show.
A weekend away. Somewhere she can rest.
A dinner at a restaurant she’s been wanting to try, fully planned by you.
Things that are personal
A handwritten letter. About what she means to you.
A photo book of memories.
Something she mentioned months ago and forgot she mentioned.
Time. A whole day planned around her, with nothing she has to do.
What not to give
- Products that suggest she should change her hair, skin or body.
- Generic gifts with no thought.
- Something for the house she didn’t ask for.
Why this matters
Women who “have everything” often have everything except rest, being cared for, and being celebrated. Give her that.
From Aria
Black women give so much. Get her something that says: I see you, and I want to take care of you for once.
