In this post, I’m sharing my favorite women-owned and founded products and services from local and national brands. These products, items, services, and experiences are truly my favorite things. This holiday season, support women-owned businesses and put your money into the pockets of women who are working hard to make a living.
There’s something truly inspiring about supporting women-owned businesses. These brands represent bold dreams, creativity, and determination—and every product tells a story worth celebrating. Living in Philadelphia, I’m lucky to be surrounded by incredible women entrepreneurs whose businesses have become local treasures. But my appreciation extends beyond my city, as I’ve also fallen in love with some amazing women-owned brands from across the country. In this post, I’m sharing a mix of my favorites—some from right here in Philly and others that are making waves nationally. These products are more than just things—they’re a celebration of women who are leading the way. Enjoy!
