Period Undies
Period undies have got to be the most iconic thing to come out of the early 2020s. I mean, no more pads, tampons or unfortunate leakage? Count us in! Period underwear design allows you to free-bleed while the fabric absorbs menstrual blood and prevents leakage onto your skin and clothes. Most importantly, it is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional single-use products such as pads and tampons that have a massive impact on landfills. Swapping tampons and pads for period undies can help save up to 200 single-use period products per year! For some of our favourite brands, check out this link.
Fine Jewelery & Other Accessories
All strong women deserve some jewellery and other accessories that make them feel like a genuine princess (or a queen!). The past two years have brought about a bit of a renaissance for wearing fine jewellery and eclectic accessorising, with many jewellery trends providing consumers with plenty of options. Fine jewellery has also become more accessible than ever, with designers from across the globe opening online stores so that global audiences can browse their intricate wares.
Of course, everyone has different tastes when it comes to jewellery, so it’s definitely worth having a peek around your gift recipient’s vanity or taking notice of jewellery designs and styles that they may wear fondly or have piqued their interest in the past when finding the perfect accessory to gift wrap for them.
Scented Candles For Rest & Relaxation
Strong women deserve TLC more than anybody, but busy work schedules or taking care of their families may really cut right into their ‘me time’. Alongside this, it always seems to be people with strict work ethics who fail to invest in their own wellness, simply because they may consider wellness resources to be luxuries in themselves.
This is precisely why your intended gift recipient may be more than happy to receive some wellness items like scented candles, bath bombs, essential oil diffusers, and other treats to creat the perfect at–home spa day. Providing your everyday queen with these luxurious wellness essentials will ensure that she prioritises rest and recovery on her weekends, and experiences all the benefits that accompany destressing.

Good Night Stories For Rebel Girls is packed with 100 bedtime stories about the life of 100 extraordinary women from the past and the present, illustrated by 60 female artists from all over the world. What if the princess didn’t marry Prince Charming but instead went on to be an astronaut? A New York Times bestseller, this is a book that is sure to keep any young feminist up at night.
