Gifts for the phenomenal women in your life 

This holiday season, give the women in your life more than just their flowers as a token of appreciation.

Whether you’re shopping for your sister, mother, aunties, friend, or partner, gifting the woman who gives you the most love may feel like the most challenging task. While the saying “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” is often true, women also often appreciate the intention behind a gift more than the price tag. Every woman deserves to feel appreciated, so here’s a list of Black-owned holiday gift ideas that will make her feel like the queen she is.

For an experience she won’t forget 

Serenade your queen with musical royalty by gifting her concert tickets. 2023 is expected to be a massive year for live performances—Beyoncé, Jill Scott, SZA, Anita Baker, Masego, Janet Jackson, Usher, New Edition and Keith Sweat, and more of the industry’s top artists are expected to host live performances throughout the upcoming year. Most tickets are already available for purchase, but for those that haven’t been released yet, consider buying a gift card to their favorite concert platform, so your leading lady is first in line when they drop. 

A fun, creative idea: Consider teasing the gift with a clue related to the artist they will be seeing. It could be the artist’s merchandise, a vinyl album, a t-shirt emblazoned with a famous lyric, etc. 

If concert tickets are out of your budget, there are other thoughtful ways to give experiential gifts: 

  • Tickets to a local theater show 
  • Museum memberships or passes
  • Alvin Ailey performance tickets or virtual dance lessons
