Did I mention Valentine’s Day is right around the corner? Just in case you haven’t set foot in a store in ages,the chocolate-and-bear-hug-kisses holiday is back (and has been for the past month or so). For a change, instead of catering to the partners in our lives, how about treating the ambitious, career-oriented, uber-busy women in your life. Here are a few ideas I’ve picked out from the buzz around (please feel free to send any of these my way):
- Send her a Galentine’s Day e-card: Why wait for February 14th when you can be a lady celebrating other ladies on February 13th, also dubbed as “Galentine’s Day” by Parks & Recreation’s Leslie Knopp? Ivanka Trump’s design team designed some fun, special and downright empowering Galentine’s Day digital cards you can share with your favorite girl crushes;
- Speaking of cards, I had featured MEABbyBianca stationery last year, an Etsy line of greeting cards dedicated to women of color. Send this thank you card to the career woman who inspired you the most this year!
- In honor of Black History Month and to salute the courageous women and men who fought for all of us, offer the ambitious and driven women in your life The Dream journal. This may be the start of their own dreams;
- I love mantras, I write them down everywhere, repeat them everywhere out loud. No wonder I fell in love with these made-to-order necklaces from Speakable. How about engraving one with #girlboss and sending it out to the girl bosses in your life;
- And because I’d pick coffee over flowers (or anything else) any day, this Valentine’s Day mug and coffee gift set will make any coffee-addicted career woman in your life consider you their new girl crush.
Notice this list does not feature any flowers, whatsoever…
Anything else you’d like to add to the list?
