I met the founders of Little Words Project® a few years ago and had to have one of their inspirational bracelets. Since then I’ve worn it every day since it’s so lightweight and I love the good vibes that come with it.

Their mission is to encourage women to both be kind to themselves and to others and part of their Nice Girl Gang.

The idea is to wear your Little Word® for as long you need it (strength, girl boss, etc. - mine says love) and then pass it along when you find someone who needs that reminder a little more.

Little Words Project Bracelets, $20.00 - $25.00

In love, soul sister, and strength at Nordstrom

Give the gift of Glennon! This is the ultimate self-love, endearing and entertaining memoir and will forever live on my book shelf. I read Glennon Doyle’s Untamed this past spring and think about it often. It’s a true wakeup call to the systems our genders have determined for us since we were born. Glennon feels like a best friend and confidant who will be both honest and sensitive at the same time. She is an entertaining storyteller and her and her wife (Olympian Abby Wambach) are champions of LGBTQIA+ rights and human rights activists who lead by example and make you think you can be a part of something bigger and make the world a better place. Their love for each other, humanity and positivity is infectious.

Untamed, $15.90 at Target

I’ve tried a few different plant delivery services and though The Sill tends to be a little pricier, I’ve found that they always arrive in peak condition, have faster shipping and it’s nice that they come already potted, especially when it’s a gift.

This easy to care for option is just enough to bring some life to your wannabe green thumb friend’s home but won’t stress her out.

Parlor Palm, $42.00 at The Sill

You can never have too many cozy throws and this one has almost 2k 5-star reviews! It comes in a bunch of different mellow hues and is easily washable. For each purchase, Nordstrom donates a portion of proceeds to Operation Warm, an organization that provides winter coats to kids in your local community.

Bliss plus throw, $28.00 in vanilla or grey and pink or red at Nordstrom

This sweet initial necklace à la Alexis Rose is a fun and trendy gift for your bestie who loves quoting Schitt’s Creek. I know I’m late to the party but the show was quarantine vieweing perfection for its humor and endearing characters. Her style was my favorite on show and I always dreamed of a chic boho closet with enough fashion blogger-esque hats and chunky booties to last me all year.

Initial Necklace, $26.60 at Anthropologie

Your activist friend will feel empowered by this tee featuring the words of Maya Angelou. Each purchase supports the critical women's rights works on the ground by fearless organizations such as Higher Heights, a non-profit focused on building a national infrastructure to harness Black women's political power and leadership, Native Voices Rising, which supports advocacy and civic engagement in American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities, TGI Justice working to end abuse against transgender, intersex, and gender-variant people, and many others.

It fits like a classic t-shirt and is available in XS - 3XL. I love this for around the house on days you need some strong woman energy and under a blazer with jeans (and maybe some Converse) for a Madame VP approved look that makes a statement of democracy.

Phenomenal Woman Tee, $35.00 at PhenomenalWoman.us

I love the idea of buying both of these Kate Spade signature classics and mix and matching and them with your bestie like old school bff necklaces. She’s the moon to your star! Cheesy but cute and super affordable for sparkly Pavé stones. The heart ones also come in black and pink.

Kate Spade Heritage Heart Studs, $48.00

Star & Moon Pavé Studs, $38.00

Another cozy idea, update her WFH footwear with a new pair of cloud-like slippers. I’ve been living in these this winter when my floor is just too cold and they make all those loungewear sets extra cute.

Sophie Plush Slipper, $29.95 at Nordstrom
