The Female Founded Gift Guide 2025 ✷

I am beyond excited to share this year’s Female Founded Gift Guide with you! Nothing brings me more joy than hunting down something that feels personal and unique whilst also being able to champion a fellow Female Founder!

This year’s edit feels especially joyful to me. I’ve spent months discovering new makers, revisiting long-time favourites and generally getting far too enthusiastic about beautiful, clever, brilliant things. A few of these creators are people I know in real life, which means I’ve also had the privilege of watching the behind-the-scenes effort that goes into building such a brand, which only ever makes me love their work more.

I’ve included notes throughout on the things I actually use, wear or display at home, partly because I’m nosy and because it’s always interesting to hear which items you actually reach for again and again.

I could have easily added multiple items from various shops, but I’ve tried to stop myself, as I know how much I love being introduced to an amazing brand, but enjoy scouring their site myself, so please click through!

We hope you’ll find a mix of new discoveries, timeless pieces, small indulgences and one-of-a-kind finds. Most things can be shipped internationally but we’ve included them in their home currency so you have an idea of location.

I hope you find things to gift, and perhaps a few to add to your own list too!
