Political gifts from some of our favorite shops over the years, and some new ones I just had to share
The truth is, it took me so long to get this post up this year because every day I found something new and amazing I wanted to highlight. At some point I had to just stopโฆand acknowledge that this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of cool political gifts for women.
If you canโt get them in time, find something similar from a local shop (please shop local!) or hey, give her an IOU with a donation in her name to an organization thatโs important to her. For some of us, thatโs all we really want or need this year.
