Female Founded Holiday Gifts on Studio 512
The holidays are around the corner and coming up sooner than you think! Do you know what you’re buying yet for everyone on your list? Now, more than ever, is the time to support female founded and minority owned small businesses.
Last week I unveiled 85+ female founded gift ideas for my first ever Dear FoundHer… holiday gift guide. This week I showed up on Studio 512 KXAN Austin sharing some of my favorites. The big bonus for their live viewers? All of these founders were based in Texas—making shopping local a cinch.
Dessert Gallery (based in Houston but ships nationally), Cupcakes-In-A-Jar, $27.50: Owned by a Houston mom, this is one of my many Dessert Gallery Favorites! Cupcakes-In-A-Jar make the perfect holiday gift due to their easy to transport containers. The 4-packs come with 2 of their famous Tres Leches and two of our Holiday Reserve Chocolate Tres Leches.
TwelveLittle Luxe Clutch, $72 and Pouch Charms, $21: From Dallas-based mom, Julia Min, Twelve Little has long been one of my favorite gift for moms. This diaper clutch looks anything but—its sleek and stylish and holds everything you need for baby. PLUS, you can kick up the cuteness factor a notch with these tiny, trendy charms that can be hung onto your TWELVElittle diaper bag or accessory. Useful for storing 2 pacifiers, your lip balm, AirPods, or even your mask, you can also use it as a traditional keychain instead if preferred.
Bright Littles Convo Cards, $28: Founded by an Austin based mom, Bright Littles was built when she realized she didn’t have the age-appropriate tools to navigate challenging conversations with her daughter. From social and racial injustices, to a global pandemic, health, safety and more. Bright Littles Convo Cards are the perfect way to spark a meaningful conversation with your bright little ones.
There are 100 question cards and 25 activity cards for kids ages 4 and up across the 5 topics of diversity, health, safety, nature, and self. Whether you’re at the dinner table or on a road trip, each card is designed to start an ongoing conversation that will encourage confidence, kindness, compassion, and more!
House of Shan Live What You Love Pullover, $68: Shannon Buth recently transplanted from Chicago to Austin, making her a new Austin Mom! I am a long time fan of her line, House of Shan. The Live What You Love Pullover Hoodie Sweatshirt has an imperfect heart stitched over your heart as a daily reminder to … Live your passion, laugh everyday, love deeply, lift others up, and don’t ever quit your daydream.
Camp For All / Giving Thanks E-Cards and Digital Holiday Cards: When I heard about this I fell in love with this cause. Camp For All provides summer camp to ANYONE. This is a barrier-free camp experience to children and adults with special needs and challenging illnesses. And while those who attend the camp benefit from the experience, their care-givers also get a much needed break. For just $5, you can spread some holiday cheer to your loved ones by sending a Camp For All virtual card. Each card can be sent up to 5 people.
All proceeds will go to providing a barrier-free camp experience to children and adults with special needs and challenging illnesses. Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, Kwanzaa and Holiday cards will launch on November 29th
