Feminist themed gifts

Brefugee · 2025-11-26T13:59:55+00:00

I'm after one of those lovely green/white/puple fluffy tartan scarves for my mum but no idea where to get one. so if anyone has any hints for me? But then it occurred to me that here might be a good place to share resources or places to buy feminist themed gifts? extra points if small feminist owned businesses. Or is that too - meh?

I've just ordered 3 bracelets - Connemara marble, amethyst and white jade.
I got the idea from NotInMyyName so it's all your fault that I now have even more bracelets😁
But I think I'll wear these, unlike a lot of the others🙄 and maybe somebody will spot them and recognise the symbolism.

@MarieDeGournayoh the white marble sounds niiice. My wimin friends notice the symbolism 🥰! I may need to buy a few more.

Edit. I started with tennis bracelets, In crystal, amethyst and fake emerald.

Depending on how you feel about M & S, this could be an option. Suffragette colours but muted. I’ve seen it in store and it’s quite large and very soft. It’s on my wish list.

I have 3 bracelets in birthstones that are clear, purple and green. Phillip Jones from Amazon. I've had them on permanently since last Christmas and they haven't tarnished.

There’s a t-shirt I really like but at the bottom of their homepage..

OURS IS

INCLUSIVE FEMINISM

Hand on our heart, we promise to fight for equality for EVERYONE - no exceptions.
To get some frequently asked questions out of the way: Yes, we love our trans community. Yes, cis men are welcome to wear our stuff too.

And they posted on April 16th that it was ‘a sad day in the UK’

Quite. They also donate money to the dreadful mermaids ‘charity’ so they are not a company I would purchase from again.

Just looking at the V&A shop and OMG isnt this nice-

I am tempted, I'd have to find a kimono and a baseball bat as well, of course.

Not a solution for OP but there is an online shop linked to the Witches Tartan. (Though any gift would probably need a little historical not with it.) https://www.witchesofscotland.com/tartan

Seems pricely to me, and think it is purely commercial. But nice to honour the witches than men killed.

Edited to add I have just seen they support the M.O.D. & BENEVOLENT FUNDS

So maybe not where some would want part of their money to go to.

The maiden, the mother and the crone? New, full and old moon?

Probably not suitable for your mum, OP, but others on this thread might like to have a look at The Spark Company:

Etsy sell vintage suffragette jewellery, depending on your spend and the V&A shop have a little suffragette tree decoration. (image attached I hope)

also thank you for this, i have been looking for this tartan. Was beginning to think i dreamt it.

My mum claims to be a scottish witch so there may be something there...

ETA: we are both ex-forces so not an issue, i think (with the benevolent fund)

Well it was more I felt I should point it out, because at that point most were about helping variou sex based rights groups raise money.

When I went to the page I was a bit surprised. I had a memory of the tartan being a bit spooky. Looks quite upbeat really.

FleurDeFleur · 26/11/2025 21:38

Amazon have a great selection of feminist gifts!

Edit. I meant to write. One of each. In the three different colours.

You've given me the idea of getting 3 separate gemstone bracelets, white green and purple..
as if I didn't have enough bracelets🙄
of which I only actually wear a tiny proportion🙄🙄
But that doesn't matter, does it?😁

The Witches of Scotland tartan story is fascinating, IwantToRetire, thank you for the link.

I’d be interested in feminist gifts too.
Not a scarf but I got the braided bracelet engraved with my tiny everyday act of rebellion.
But I do wear my sex matters pin when a bit more courageous .
I was going to get a white, green and purple beaded bracelet. It might suit your mum?
