Feminist themed gifts

[Brefugee]

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?

Violet Vend, Let Women Speak, Women's Rights Network online merch.

The Famous Artist Birdy Rose
Not only great merch, but an opportunity to show support -
False Allegations Against Doozer McDooze | Mumsnet

it's for my very elderly mum in a town where there have been many issues with the trans lobby. I'm really only after something in sufragette colours. (i'm guessing all the really good WRN merch is for members only)

I will continue the hunt.

I don't think WRN limit sales to members. Violet Vend has all sorts and I think they have scarves which are worth looking at.

https://theministryoftartan.co.uk/product/other-suffragette-tartan-scarf/ I think this is what you are looking for?

This one looks good, Brefugee - lovely soft lambswool mmmmm snuggly
Not made by feminists, but I think a company making a scarf with such obvious and proud feminist links merits support.

Disclaimer: Not dissing anyone else's suffragette scarf!

i looked at WRN and it was just a few cards and t-shirts with a note that there are more items available to members

Violet Vend isn't really what i'm looking for for my mum, for me maybe.

I just want something nice in suffragette colours for a gift, not something that will attract adverse attention from the huge bunch of bullies in her city.

that's lovely, thank you!

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.

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?

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.

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)

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

love your username @GlitteringCBeams btw
thanks for that link, i love so much of that, and my DDs will too

I have this one, it's beautiful

Amazon have a great selection of feminist gifts!

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.

I create small hand painted gifts. Would she like something like this?

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

People Too jewellery has discreet options.

that is lovely - I will think about it for her birthday :)

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

The Radical Tea Towel company have some good suffragette patterns
