Holiday Presents: When Giving Comes Naturally -   
By: Macy Freeman -  

Holiday Gift Options With the holidays being right around the corner, many of us have undoubtedly begun searching our local malls and shops for our loved ones’ gifts. It’s often difficult to find products that cater to people with natural hair and those who love natural products unless you know where to look.  If your plan is to buy something for a fellow natural sister or brother, consider some of these products.  

For The Babies: The Princess & The Frog-Tiana Doll

The Princess Tiana doll, made by Mattel, was released during the summer. As a young girl, I would have loved to see Disney have a black princess. I’ve developed a soft spot for the Tiana doll, and I think girls will love it, too.  There are a couple of different versions to choose from, and it depends on the toy store. (Prices vary)

More doll ideas: Check out another article on TCR titled “The Real Black Barbie” by Lady Kinnks. While I’m in love with the message behind Mattel’s, “So In Style Dolls,” I’ll admit I was slightly disappointed to find that they don’t have diverse hair textures.
 

Something for Everyone: Carol’s Daughter

I am a devoted fan of Carol’s Daughter. If you’re searching for some great scents, hair or skin products, Carol’s Daughter is a great place to start. Products include something for men, women and children. If you’ve yet to try some of these products, I suggest you check out the website as a part of your holiday shopping.

F.Y.I.: Carol’s Daughter has a limited edition of products promoting “The Princess & The Frog,” which includes shampoo, conditioner, bubble bath, and detangler. The gift set would be cute to pair with Disney’s Tiana Doll for younger girls.

 

For Natural Sisters: Hair Accessories


Never underestimate the power of accessories. Hair jewelry can really make the beauty of natural hair pop. Find some cute accessories at the following websites:

www.tomokastwists.com


Some of these accessories are out of stock so try to catch them when you can. There are some fabulous pieces, and you can choose to make a custom order as well.

www.etsy.com


This is a website where people can sell handmade or vintage products.

www.andreasbeau.com


Very girly. Products include bows, ponytails and headbands with pretty embellishments, designs and flowers. There’s something for women and girls.


Holiday Gift Options

“Say It Loud!”: Fashion

If you know someone who likes to make a statement with fashion, you might want to consider something like this as a gift.

“Swarthy Daisy” - I love the message behind this handmade line. Products depict a daisy with the face of a black woman in the center. The design is feminine and unique, and you can find these products on www.etsy.com. Key in ‘Swarthy Daisy’ and you’ll find shirts, tank tops, totes and buttons.


“Light Up Their Life”: Candles

If you know someone who is into candles, Jocelyn Howard, the creator of Soul Scentz, makes some great ones. Her candles aren’t overpowering and have natural fragrances with interesting blends that really permeate a room whether a candle is lit or not.

UGG Bailey Button or not listing, the sale of those Ugg Classic Cardy shoes were broken from the factory out of a small amount of code of Ugg Boots Classic Mini shoes, if the yardage is complete, it is UGG Classic Tall, it is impossible to thing. See vamps, really UGG very bright and clean, car line is 9 per inch needle, uggs boots on sale margin is uniform, line moderately elastic, there will be no floating lines, break, jump pin. UGG Ultra Short shoe feel very good, but there is no rupture, breakage.There are many products on our shop for sale,and some now in discount, very cheap.Welcome to purchase!
