35 Fiercely Feminist Gifts Starting at $6

Proverbs 31 describes a woman providing and caring for her family. That's where 31 Bits got its name. The “Bits” bit comes from the brand’s original, bestselling jewelry that uses beads created out of “bits” of paper. And, today, the brand makes a whole lot more — like this three-piece spoon set, handmade out of brass by artisans in Bali. Each have sayings at the bottom, too: "Eat Your Greens," "More Please" and "Dessert First."

Mata Traders partners with Fair Trade cooperatives to solve poverty and provide healthcare, paid maternity leave, retirement pensions and daycare services for women in India and Nepal. This brass and resin ring was handcrafted in India.

Pondichérie founder Devon Fisher's resort-wear line employs female artisans in India in partnership with a local women's empowerment organization. This one-size, maxi-length Veena Deep V-Back caftan is named after Veena, one of the weavers who crafts the textiles used in Pondichérie pieces. 

Sseko is a Uganda-based brand that produces shoes, handbags and accessories. And this Aida Tote in Black & Caramel is handcrafted in Ethiopia from pebbled black leather and contrasting caramel oil-tanned leather. It’s a two-tone tote for which any woman would find a use — and feel good knowing that they’re contributing to the fair wages and college tuitions of women in East Africa. To date, Sseko has helped 87 women go to college, and every woman who has graduated from Sseko has gone on to pursue higher education. But that’s not all; through the Sseko Fellows Program, Sseko also provides resources for women across the United States to sell Sseko products and launch their own social enterprises. They’re paired one-to-one with a woman in Uganda and her sales directly contribute to earning an additional scholarship for her Sole Sister.

This fig vegetable-tanned leather wallet was hand-cut by partners in Ethiopia. Each purchase helps to empower 1,500 artisan women with fair wages and access to healthcare and education. That's because Raven + Lily partners with artisan groups in Ethiopia, Kenya, Haiti, Cambodia and more to break the cycle of poverty for women. For example, every purchase funds microloans to female entrepreneurs.

Songa Designs is a jewelry and lifestyle brand that helps empower women in Rwanda and around the globe. Each piece in the Songa collection is hand-crafted by a skilled artisan in Rwanda and made from local, eco-friendly materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. These artisans are able to use their wages to afford health insurance, buy land or send their children to school for the first time. So grab a handbag like this one — they're all truly unique, as each handbag takes artisans three days to create.

VEERAH calls itself the “responsible heel” because of its VEERAH Warriors 1-10-100 Battle Plan. One percent of VEERAH’s profits are donated to social impact causes, 10 paid hours per month are given to employees to volunteer or take self-improvement courses and, for every 100 customer interviews, a girl receives a one-year scholarship to school through She’s the First. So go ahead and grab a pair like these Venus sandals made with cruelty-free uppers (aka sustainably recycled plastic bottles).

Fempower Beauty is the first-ever activist beauty brand that radically reclaims traditionally misogynistic, heteronormative historical narratives. The brand even allows customers to purchase lipsticks as gifts for femme refugees, in partnership with Dignity Not Dispair. This Adam lipstick is touted as "a symbol of strength, civil rights and self-love."

These satirical retro homemaker stone coasters will give the feminist in your life a good laugh — especially when she's putting down her coffee before she "does the things." 

There's no such thing as too many throw pillows — especially feminist throw pillows.

This 10-by-10-inch Guerrilla Girls poster that reads "Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?" is perfect for any feminist. The Guerrilla Girls were a radical group of intersectional feminist female artists who wore guerilla masks when they were out in public. They wanted the focus to be on their art and not their individual identities. Their motto: "Reinventing the 'F' Word: Feminism."

This feminist flair pack includes six 1.5-inch, distressed vintage buttons with all sorts of progressive sayings like "girl power" and "impolite arrogant woman."

How about this cotton canvas tote bag with a screen-printed "People of quality don't fear equality," line?
