Looking for gifts that feel personal, practical, and rooted in purpose? This year, we’re sharing gift ideas that go beyond the usual roundups. Every product, service, or experience featured here is from a woman-led business, many of whom have been part of our StitchCrew programming. These founders are building companies with values at the core that prioritize sustainability, creativity, wellness, and care for their communities.
We’ve organized this guide by category to make it easier to shop intentionally based on what you really want to prioritize, whether that’s a bold new piece of art, a membership that empowers them in work or wellness, or simply the gift of time. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find something meaningful to give and a founder worth supporting.
