UK Black Owned Christmas Gift Guide

I have spent the last couple of years making a conscious effort to support the black community through supporting black owned businesses.

 

With just under a month till Christmas I thought it would be a great idea to put together a black owned Christmas gift guide. I wanted to keep it short and sweet so I have highlighted 27 gift ideas from black owned businesses.

Skincare

Looking to glow all year round? Yeah me too. Which is why I had to include some businesses that can contribute to the glow.

Love Rems make some beautiful bath salts and I love the packaging. Afro Hair & Skin Co has been working hard to expand their already amazing range of skin care and hair care products. I have been eyeing up Narloa lemon and aloe face wash for so long, I think it’s time to give myself a little Christmas gift.

Children

I thought I would suggest some alternative gifts for children, instead of toys.

Cherish Me is a family run business that do the sweetest affirmation cards. Some books that were created with us in mind, great representation. Tiny Blings is the spot for some personalised gifts, they also do some african print hair clips for mini curlies.
