15 Thoughtful Gift Ideas For Every Character In Your Life
We can’t believe it either, but the holidays are looming, peeking around the proverbial corner and ready to hit our pockets.
Taking the guesswork out of shopping Black for your loved ones this season has never been more important because when it comes to struggling to find a great gift the immortal words of Sweet Brown ring true — ain’t nobody got time for that!
You know we’re in the business of doing the hard part and scouring the internet for the Black-owned brands and products that will enhance every facet of your life and holiday season 2021 is no different.
From the ultra woke parent who’s making sure that their children know their history and the prayer warrior who has your name on their roster when they take it to the Lord, all the way to the beauty junkie who’s always catching a flight and the friend whose closet is stacked to the brim with sneakers, we’ve compiled a list of gifts perfect for the unique characters in your world.
They’ll appreciate the extra thought you put into gifting them something that reflects who they are.

The Woke Parent
$11.98 | Target
One thing their kids won’t be? Uninformed. The woke parent is doing all they can to make sure their little ones know their worth and the stories of their ancestors. Grab them this adorable book by Vashtie Harrison & they’ll love you for it.
The On-The-Go Beauty Junkie
$24 | Fenty Beauty
She’s a runner, she’s a track star! And she’s stunning no matter what. Give your jetsetting beauty queen a travel-friendly gift that she’ll actually use again and again. This limited edition FENTY Beauty eye and lip set will help her effortlessly refresh.
The Prayer Warrior
$25 | Godly Gorgeous
We all have that one person in our lives whose relationship with God is top tier (hey Grandma!). If you have someone whose prayers you just know have covered you, show them your appreciation with this thoughtful gift.
The One With A Master Plan
$35 | Garden24
She’s focused, she’s ambitious and a manifestation queen. She believes in writing it down to get it done and she’ll absolutely love a beautiful and unique way to keep her dreams and goals in one place.
That One Spicy Friend
$40 | JNCT
The mug reads: ‘Not everyone’s cup of tea’ and she owns that like no other. We love how grounded she is in herself and how little she pays attention to the opinions of others. If she’s a little spicy (but lovable nonetheless) she might appreciate this chic tea set that’ll let ‘em know what’s up.
The New Mama
$76 | Melanie Marie
What better way to commemorate a new life than to wear a symbol of your love everywhere you go? That new mom may be a little (or extremely) tired and adjusting to her new lifestyle but she’ll love a token that celebrates the bond between herself and her bundle of joy.
The Newlyweds
$22.50 | LouLou Art Studio
We adore how this stunning portrait celebrates Black love. Gift your favorite couple this art that represents their one-of-a-kind devotion to each other. And because beautiful couples come in all different forms, there are equally fabulous representations of interracial and same-sex unions.
The Babe That Loves To Make-Believe
$28 | Le Petit Organic
SACRD love the kids! And we’re always here for cultivating imagination and purposeful play for their little minds. This super chic kitchen set will let them create a world where they’re the top chef that gets to feed you whatever 5-star meal they conjur up.
The Jewelry Junkie
$87 | L'ENCHANTEUR
If she can’t get enough of stand-out, Black-owned jewelry, she’ll be talking about how much she loves these earrings for years to come. L’ENCHANTEUR’s ‘Face Your Fears’ earrings are the perfect, abstract way to tickle anyone’s jewelry-obsessed fancy.
The One With A New Place
$118 | 54 Kibo
Every time you call her you hear ‘New Apartment’ by Ari Lennox bumping in the background, so you can be sure that she’ll adore you for encouraging and aiding in the chokehold that home decor currently has her in. This ‘Black Woman Magic’ pillow will add a unique and empowering touch to her new space.
The One Everybody Leans On
$23 | Bookshop
She’s everyone’s go-to, the person they call on for triumphs, break-downs, emergencies and everything in between. If she has a listening ear that is unmatched and a heart of gold if you’ve ever seen one, give her the gift of soul-nourishing stories with Oprah’s ‘What I Know For Sure’. Also, it never hurts to throw in a great bottle of wine.
The One With A Slight Beard Obsession
$23 | Scotch Porter
Whether he’s already been blessed with an immaculate, perfectly moisturized beard, or is just trying to get those patches to connect, he’ll be overjoyed to tap into this elite beard health kit by Scotch Porter.
The Self-Care Queen
$65 | Thirteen Lune
Her bubble bath game is like no other, she has a 12-step skincare routine, her robe collection is always growing and she’s proud of it. Give your indulgent queen this gorgeous jade eye mask and the next time you’ll see it is when she posts her latest self-care must-haves.
The Sneaker Head
$220 | Brandblack
The only caveat to being an elite sneakerhead is that there aren’t many Black-owned options. The kick-obsessed person in your life will truly appreciate being able to add to their collection while supporting their own.
The One Whose House Smells Great
$72 | FORVR Mood
If every time you step into her space you find yourself asking, “Sis, what is that?” in response to her top-notch home fragrance collection, add to her array of aromas with this highly-rated candle set that users say smells “soooo great.”
