It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas feels like it came SO quick. I know, I know. Buying gifts for your loved ones, coworkers, and friends can be really daunting. Every year it seems like our lists get longer and longer. And coming up with great gift ideas can be pretty overwhelming. Don’t fret! Here is a list of gift ideas from some fantastic black owned businesses. From stationary, to jewelry, and curated boxes, there’s no low vibration gifts here!
Onyx Gifts and Books
Onyx Gifts and Books is a beautiful website of black owned goods such as greeting cards, ornaments, children’s books and more, curated by Akili Phillips (she created the website too!) and Carol Watson. So often it’s hard to find cards, books and other goods that look like us in one shop. Akili and Carol are filling that void by crafting the Onyx Gifts and Books site.
For your favorite notetaker! This notepad is perfect for a coworker who loves to stay organized.
This monstera enamel bookmark is super chic. Great for someone in your life that loves to read and also has a green thumb.
The Truth About Mrs. Claus is a whimsical book that will teach a child not only about the magic of Christmas, but it will also teach them about following their heart.
Looking for a way to add some opulence to someone’s tree? This gold Black Excellence ornament will do the trick.
Need to send a quick card to the fam? This family greeting card is so sweet.
Go Girl, Grow Girl!
Created by Christy, Go Girl,Grow Girl came from her love of subscription boxes and struggling to find ones that catered to her. So often subscription boxes don’t cater to black people and other minorties. Go Girl, Grow Girl covers a lot of bases and even comes with a plant that will grow with you!
The Go Girl Grow Girl box is a gift box that contains five handmade items created by black or minority makers. Perfect for the introvert in your life who likes to chill at home.
CTOAN Co
CTOAN Co. candles are hand poured and designed by Jodyann Morgan. Her body candles are made from a gender neutral perspective and celebrates different plus size bodies. You’ll also find her on our LGBTQ+ gift guide!
The booty candle comes in white, light brown, and dark brown. You can get it unscented or you can get it in one of four different scents. (Lemongrass is my personal fav!) Yes, you can burn this candle but it is truly meant to be decor.
The Angel 3D candle is another beautiful choice. It also comes in the same shades and scents as the booty candle.
Distillmatic
Distillmatic™ Whiskey Mixology Kits is the perfect gift for a friendsmas or intimate dinner. It comes with all the tools you need to make cocktail bar level drinks and a cocktail course with Eli. You can get it with or without bourbon (but if you’re located outside of New York State, it will be sent booze free as alcohol can’t be shipped.)

The mini progression hoop revolution-6 disk is a limited edition hoop. It represents six of the eight phases of the moon and is inspired by nature. It comes in 14k Gold Vermeil and 925 Sterling Silver. It is also lightweight!
