Shop Women-Owned: A Gift Guide
Mary Pat Abruzzo, Content Editor @ Media x Women
It’s the same story every year: you scramble to find gifts for family and friends a day before a birthday, Christmas, or Valentine’s Day, falling down the rabbit hole of Google searches and Youtube videos. You end up shipping yourself a back massager and three pairs of socks off Amazon. It’s the thought that counts, right?
This year, try giving something more meaningful. Supporting women-owned businesses with your holiday dollar is a way to directly impact the hard-working female entrepreneurs behind a small business. We have put together a list of women-owned businesses that should wow any friend, relative, or special someone.
