Black Owned Gift Gift Guide: 2020 Holiday Season
2020 has been one heck of a year. One good thing that has happened, is an increase in the promotion of Black Owned Businesses 🤗. In an effort to keep the momentum going and to promote the growth of Black entrepreneurship, I wanted to highlight a few of my favorite Black Owned Brands for our 2020 Holiday Gift Guide (and all future gift guides 😉).
Clean Beauty & Skincare
Mrs 82
I love this brand because they specialize in organic skincare and feminine care products. They ethically source all of their ingredients and are leaping bunny certified. I love their commitment to trust and transparency. Their special Holiday Gift Set comes in either Mint or Sandalwood scents.
Mint box includes: Mint Obsession Body Butter, Black Bar, Lip Balm, 5OML Hand Sanitizer & 2020 Holiday Pouch.
Sandalwood Box: Sweet Sandalwood Body Butter, Gardenia Soap Bar, Lip Balm, 50ML Hand Sanitizer & 2020 Holiday Pouch.
Zan Zan Beauty
Zan Zan Beauty is a cosmetic brand that features liquid to matte lipsticks for all shades. I adore their Kumasi red shade! Their products are cruelty-free, vegan , and gluten-free products that are made in the USA.
Elysium Naturals Co
The Elysium Naturals body butters feel decadent on the skin. Their butters are whipped to perfection for a light and fluffy feel. Once applied to the skin, it melts into a lovely oil that will leave your skin glowing and feeling moisturized. The Lavender Vanilla smells like cake in a jar, it smells so good you’ll want to taste it! I also really enjoy the Sweet Mango scent for when I want something more subtle. They’re made with clean ingredients and natural Shea butter! Perfect for dry & sensitive skin.
Accessories & Fashion
Koko Harley Designer Masks
My favorite mask is by far my scarf mask from KoKo Harley. It’s the perfect way for me to dress up my outfit when I’m headed out. I’ve taken it on the road during my COVID vacations and I get tons of compliments wherever I go. The scarf element makes it super easy to adjust the mask to comfort. It’s also great for adding an extra layer of warmth during the Winter. They come in a variety of colors and styles. The perfect gift for the fashionable women in your life.
Tote & Carry
I am obsessed with all of the fun color options that their Apollo Travel Set comes in. The purple is my favorite but I low key would buy a set to go with every travel outfit. The set is the perfect carry on size and very well made. The perfect gift for your loved one who’s always on the go.
Fanny So Fab
If you want to support a young female entrepreneur, then I would recommend getting a custom Fanny Pack or Face Mask from Fanny So Fab. This lovely teenager had my custom fanny pack created and shipped within a week! I was super impressed and love the design she created. She asked me what color fanny pack I wanted as the base and then asked what sort of things I liked or any themes that I had in mind. I said that I’d like a workout themed pack that I could wear to the gym and she delivered! I love the design 💜. She can even do custom fanny packs for children. I plan to get my 6 year old niece a Minnie Mouse one.

Nubian Skin
Nubian Skin is one of my favorite lingerie brands. They’re based in the UK but ship to the US and Canada. They offer under garments that work for various shades of melanin. My skin tone pairs well with the Cinnamon collection. I love that thanks to them, I’m able to wear actual “nude” under garments when I’m modeling. They even have hosiery and shoes to match every beautiful shade of brown skin. Not only are the color options great, but the quality is also really good. The material is soft yet durable. I’ve had this set for almost 3 years now. Crazy right!?
Savvy Sox
If you follow @b_noellefitness, then you know that I love me some fun socks. Many of my socks come from Savvy Sox. They have some of the most unique socks that I’ve ever seen! I only wish they were knee high instead of crew, but oh well 🤷🏾♀️. The quality is really good and it’s a great gift for both men and women.
Wellness
Yoni & Beyond
If you know a lady who cares about her Yoni health, then I recommend visiting Yoni & Beyond! My favorite product is the Yoni Tea. It works wonders for easing period pain and PMS symptoms. In addition to tea, she has gift boxes that can include soaps, oils, wands, and pearls.
Fitness
Brickhouse Babe Official
Brickhouse Babe Official offers high quality fabric and mini resistance bands. They are small and light weight which makes them perfect for throwing in your luggage to ensure that you can workout effectively while on the road. The perfect gift for the fitness babes in your life.
Brittany Noelle Fitness
I had to include my own business of course. I’m offering a limited time 6 Week Holiday Habits program to help you or your loved ones develop healthy habits during the holidays. I”ll be providing you with strength training workouts that you can do any where and at any time. I’ll also be providing you with nutrition coaching to help you find balance between eating the fun holiday treats, but not sabotaging your body composition goals.
Kuredge
Kuredge is a woman owned activewear brand that makes excellent fitness apparel!
The brand focuses on strength, resilience and not giving up. The definition of Kuredge is “strength in the face of adversity.” They love to motivate, uplift and stress the idea of pushing through adverse circumstances. I definitely feel uplifted and motivated whenever I put on my Kuredge set.
Body Complete Rx
If you or your loved one is looking for a little help from supplements on your weight management journey, then try a kit from Body Complete RX. This female owned brand makes weight management easier and healthy living a lifestyle. Their products are top rated natural and plant based supplements that are clinically proven to curb appetite, increase energy, and boost metabolism without harsh side effects. I tried this system for a month and loved the results! The system integrated seamlessly into my lifestyle.
Liquor
Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey
Fun fact: Nathan “Nearest” Green taught Jack Daniels how to distill Whiskey! Therefore, if you know someone who loves Jack, then they’ll love Uncle Nearest. The 1856 Premium Whiskey is my favorite but the 1884 Small Batch is also good.
