I know it’s not even November yet but I’m starting to write Christmas lists early thanks to anticipation of COVID-chaos. I would love to support as many brave feminists as possible with my purchasing power.

So far I have:
The Ickabog/ Strike books by J.K. Rowling
Difficult Women by Helen Lewis
Embroidery patches by Jess de Wahls

Any more suggestions for Christmas gifts that will support the fearless women (or men) who’ve stuck their heads above the parapet?

And Angela C Wild includes quite a few lovely links to more shops in her blogpost about supporting women-owned businesses:

These look great Need, thanks. Excellent thread OP. I've already bought wildwomyn witchy badges and am planning to get some posters/mugs for my feminist friends (and a couple who haven't realised it yet ).

Those cards look great

Ooooh! This is a fun thread!
For anyone looking for "My Body is Me" you can get it here:
www.transgendertrend.com/shop/

Book-wise I'd also recommend anything from the excellent feminist publishers Spinifex Press. Dr Heather Brunskell-Evans has her new one out with them:

Oh, that reminds me! We have Rachel Rooney's A Kid in My Class, which is great.

Thanks for all the wonderful ideas, keep them coming please.

I’ve also found that Rachel Rooney has a book of children’s poetry published called My Life as a Goldfish. We already have her book My Body is Me, bought from Transgender Trend a while back.
I might buy a Melissa Harrison book for someone.

Oh yes, didn't FPFW have merch before. I wonder if they still do it?

OhHolyJesus · 24/10/2020 14:17

I'm getting the 'floweries' postcards from Jess Dewahls as they donate a fiver to FPFW

Also Standing for Women is considering a Christmas jumper and they have cool pens that identify as a sword or a quill 😆

Also my daughter (7) has these "Wonder Women" cards and loves them. Like happy families but all accomplished women - scientists, artists, activists, explorers aeronauts etc. I highly recommend them!
