Share the Love for Gender Equality this Valentine’s Day

Although the history of Valentine’s Day is shrouded in mystery, it is now celebrated the world over from Australia to Korea to Denmark. Most of us buy for our loved ones, but increasingly people are using Valentine’s Day to celebrate different types of affection for friends, family, work colleagues or our furry friends who keep us company. Some are using it as a day to show some self-love by purchasing a special something for ourselves. This Valentine’s Day choose a female-led brand, so you can shop for gender equality whilst sharing the love. We’ve featured some fabulous Femeconomy approved brands this Valentine’s Day including hardtofind, Mary + Marie, ettitude and Wholesome Hub.

Some wear red lipstick to make a statement, others carry an eye-popping clutch! This luscious colour will be the cherry on the cake when paired with a little black number on a Valentine’s night out. Mary + Marie wallets are favourites thanks to their sleek construction. Featuring a removable party strap and signature inside compartments storing your numerous cards, smart phone and passport when travelling. A sleek choice for those who appreciate style and need for organisation.

ettitude sleepwear

Stay wrapped in ettitude’s signature bamboo lyocell fabric all day and night with their sleepwear collection. They’re so silky soft, you’ll never want to take them off. Celebrate Valentine’s Day with lazy days in his and her pyjamas.

ettitude’s bamboo lyocell is one of the most sustainable textile materials of the 21st century. The fibre yield per acre from bamboo is up to 10 times higher than cotton. It requires less than 1/10 of the water to grow. Bamboo lyocell is fabricated with high eco-standards, using a closed-loop system that recycles and reuses water to minimise waste.

Two of my faves from ettitude’s bamboo lyocell sleepwear range are the sleep shirt for her, the men’s short sleeve pj shirt and shorts.

Wholesome Hub Chocolates

Chocolate triggers the release of endorphins and serotonin, which make us feel good. Wholesome Hub’s chocolate selection will make you feel even better with plenty of organic, dairy, egg and gluten free options that are all vegan friendly. Plus, most are raw and made by hand. From minty chocolates, to nutty versions and beyond, all tastes are catered for. Buy them as gifts this Valentine’s Day, or keep them for yourself, we promise we won’t tell a soul.

For him, the Loving Earth Dark Chocolate Trio Gift Pack caught my eye. Classic and intense, this is the gift box for the one who loves the real taste of un-roasted cacao. Whether after dinner, as a coffee companion, or over a late night whiskey, these flavours are made for sharing – or not! And for her, the Pana Chocolate in Rose. 60% raw cacao with pure essential rose oil. Elevates the mind and spirit. Restores well-being and balance. For lovers of chocolate. Or lovers.
