LWL Go-To Gifts!
🎄 Happy Holidays 🎁
Some might say that this year has kind of been a dumpster 🔥🔥🔥 so we are taking every opportunity to seize joy! Since many of us are unable to spend time with family this holiday season, gift-giving is one of the few traditions that we can uphold from afar. You can still see the immense surprise (perhaps over Zoom this year) when your loved ones get the perfect gift chosen by you. Even better is when you let them know that it was sourced from a women-led business.
Below are some gifts that the LWL team has gifted to our loved ones (and to ourselves!). We all got through this year in one piece and deserve a Treat Yo’ Self moment.

Sarah’s Pick ✨
Kris Nations Earrings
“Kris Nations is a great female owned and run business! I love thinking about the recipient’s personality and try to match two studs to them. For my daughter (shhhhhh) I just bought “grit” and a “shooting star”. Sums her up perfectly!”
Kelly’s Pick ✨
M.M. LaFleur Cashmere Socks
“I'm currently obsessing over these M.M.LaFleur cashmere socks! With winter setting in and all of us lounging at home a bit more often these days, these are the *perfect* stocking stuffers for everyone on my list.
(And don't think I didn't purchase a pair for myself in hunter green, because duh!) Nothing feels better than gifting something you know the receiver wouldn't necessarily splurge on for themselves but you know they deserve, so it just doubles the goodness all around!”
Julie’s Picks ✨
Rebel Nell’s Taylor Bracelet
“First off, it looks great with everything and you can wear it solo or stack on a few for an extra glam look (provides a nice flash of color on Zoom too!). Second, it is a delicate but powerful reminder of strength. The graffiti makes me feel like a badass but also reminds me of the force of empowering women behind the bracelet.”
Backcountry Babes
“If you or the adventure gal in your life have ever thought about checking out backcountry touring, your first stop has to be with Backcountry Babes. They provide educational programs and courses for women pursuing Backcountry Skiing In Colorado, California, British Columbia, Japan, and beyond. Having been part of male groups and now experiencing an all-female group, I am only taking my certification and tours with Backcountry Babes. So fun and empowering to be with all babes, and you then get to meet new friends while learning how to be safe in the backcountry.” Win, win, win!
Allison’s Picks ✨
Re-Inc Source Notebook
“Over the last year, it has become more important than ever for me to check in with myself on paper. I snagged this journal a few weeks back and it has been just what I need to reconnect with myself as the year comes to a close. RE is continuing with their amazing partnerships and donating 7% of proceeds from this item to the Holistic Life Foundation, a Baltimore-based grassroots nonprofit organization committed to nurturing the wellness of children and adults in underserved communities.”
BARBARI Airplane Mode Herbal Blend
“This herbal blend is truly a 1,2,…3 punch with multiple uses (sip, smolder, smoke) to achieve the natural benefits of the blue lotus, rose petals, and lavender that help to melt away anxiety and soften the day's edges. As BARBARI notes: It is ideal for transitioning into nocturnal rhythms, the blend calms the senses and can support lucid dreams once asleep.”

Niamh’s Pick ✨
Sarah London
“The Green Clay Cleansing Balm from By Sarah London (or any of their products really) -
Founded by two sisters, I’ve got so much love for this brand and their products. All of their skincare products are made from totally natural ingredients with transparency at the core of what they create.
Their story started when one of the sisters was diagnosed with leukemia and struggled to find skincare products that weren’t full of complicated and intimidating ingredients that she worried were interfering with her health so together her and her sister started working on a skincare line with the mission of ‘bringing greater clarity, authenticity and simplicity to skincare.’”
Tish’s Picks ✨
KindLab CBD Wand
“Each member of my #girlcrew is getting one of these!'
I am currently based in Brooklyn, NY and I am preparing for a long, dark winter! One of the ways that I am going to beat the cold weather blues is to incorporate nourishing rituals throughout the day and KindLab’s Grace Wand is a perfect way to give my skin some TLC.
Their wands are packed with Omega-fatty acid and essential oils infused with hemp-derived raw (CBDa) & heated (CBD) cannabinoids! Plus, they are topped with a rose quartz crystal!”
Foodie Dice
“Winter is Coming! And we are stocking up on fun indoor activities to keep us entertained. I have a good amount of master chefs in my life (I really miss their cooking) and I know that they’re going to have fun switching things up with this foodie game!”
Rani’s Picks ✨
f.y.b.jewelry’s Crystal Wrap Bracelet
“Every lady I know is going through something different, whether it's a new opportunity or what seems like yet another setback, this bracelet is a constant reminder to do what we can: keep aiming.
Also: I love neutral tones!”
