2016 Black-Owned Gift Guide!
It’s that time again! This Black Friday, try and support a Black-owned business for your gift-giving needs. For last years gift guide, click here.
I mixed in some of last year’s brands with a bunch of new labels this year, and I also kept every individual item listed under $100! Click on the links to be taken to the websites in order to peruse more yourselves. Also- new category! Scroll down to see a listing for the ‘Technologically Savvy.’
[And as always, this guide has been split into categories to make it easier to get through, but feel free to mix and match for the person in your life that fits all of (or none of!) these categories!]
