THE MOST WONDERFUL WELLNESS GIFTS
Gifts that promote wellness are the most beautiful gifts of all, because they have a ripple effect -- the promote even more beauty.
For this year’s BN GIft Guide, we focused on gifts designed and created by women artists, designers, and entrepreneurs. We found delightful puzzle art, by JIGGY (Kaylin Marcotte, founder), organic beauty products by LOLI Beauty (Tina Hedges, founder), and we found a collection of especially beautiful sexual wellness and stress management gifts on The Helm, a brand platform and fund that is committed to elevating and investing in female entrepreneurs (Lindsey Taylor Wood, founder).
JIGGY makes puzzles that highlight art by emerging female artists from around the world. Each one is a work of art in and of itself. Founded by Kaylin Marcotte, a tech startup exec who became a puzzle junkie as a way to destress in a beautiful tech-free way, JIGGY puzzles are made with specially formulated puzzle glue so completely puzzles can be framed and hung for posterity. The puzzles come in sustainable packaging. And a percentage of every sale goes directly to the artist.
Released in November, 2019, the JIGGY debut collection features “Flamingo Playground,” by Karen Lynch, “Bathing with Flowers,” by Slovenia’s Alja Horvat, “BerlinMagalog,” by Diana Ejaita, “The Astronaut,” by Emma Repp, “Theater District,” by Susan Lerner, and “Boobs,” by Julia Hefferman.
The collection includes three 450-piece puzzles and three 800-piece puzzles. Each comes stylishly packaged in a reusable glass container that includes a toolkit for preserving your finished masterpiece — a metallic tube of puzzle glue, and custom precision tool for ensuring a smooth, even application.
JIGGY puzzles make the perfect gift for creative souls of all ages.
LOLI Beauty makes beautiful faces and beautiful gifts.
While most beauty brands are 80-95% water, LOLI Beauty is the first that is completely waterless because it is completely packed with beautiful organic botanicals.
Short for “Living Organic Loving Ingredients,” LOLI is also the first Zero Waste beauty brand. While 192 billion beauty packages end up in landfills a year, ZOLI uses food grade reusable containers and compostable plastic to package their products.
LOLI Pank Plum Elixir — “the ultimate multitasker” — replaces your moisturizer, and your serum. Plus you can use it on your face and your hair, your lips, your neck, and your nails.
LOLI Chamomile Lavender Water is a micellar water and toner sub that is positively sublime.
LOLI Matcha Coconut Paste makes beautiful masks when mixed with plum elixir + chamomile lavender water.
LOLI founder Tina Hedges spent decades in the beauty industry launching products for L'Oreal, Estee Lauder and many others. This year LOLI Beauty won the CEW Sustainability Excellence Award, which is the Oscars of the beauty industry, beating out L'Oreal's own nature-conscious brand.
Palma is jewelry that makes you feel even more beautiful than it makes you look. That’s because it’s actually a sex toy, by Unbound Babes, a sexual wellness startup founded by Polly Rodriguez. Made from gold or silver-plated surgical grade stainless steel, Palma is essentially a tapered faceted vibrator attached to a band so that it can be worn as a discrete ring.
The motor is concealed and the wearer can change the speed and pattern of vibrations by moving their hand or tapping the ring. It can swivel between horizontal and vertical positions. And it’s waterproof.
Order Palma from The Helm, a brand platform and fund that is committed to elevating and investing in female entrepreneurs.
Get rid of headaches and stress with this beautiful Mudra, designed by Kali Zoe. This handcrafted piece of wellness jewelry applies pressure to the space between your thumb and forefinger to alleviate headaches, reduce pain, and increase body circulation for a healthier you. Made of sterling silver and turquoise, it promotes compassion and healing.
