Gift Ideas for the Feminist in Your Life

2018 Update: We are still not over Hillary’s loss and we stand by these gift ideas, so we’ve updated selections and links below where it was needed.

Shopping for your fave feminist friend? Trying to think of what to tell your less-than-hip fam what to buy you? Luckily for you, I channeled my sadness at Hillary’s loss (I’m still not over it, but who is?) into rounding up a list of the most fabulously feminist gifts money can buy.

You can’t be a woke feminist unless you’re woke, amirite? Feminist Fight Club is on my night stand right now and Good Girls Revolt is about to be my next obsession (I’ve been watching the show—it’s so worth signing up for Amazon Prime).

I don’t know about you, but the results of this election has me wanting to shout “I’m a feminist” from the rooftops. Loud and proud, all that jazz. Shouting is frowned upon, so let your clothes do it for you.

Tote

I never understood the point of tote bags until I just started carrying one around—and they are so damn handy! They are small when you’re not using them, but are big enough to carry planners, books, your lunch, and anything else you need.

Coffee Mugs

“Smash the Patriarchy” Mug, $16 on RedBubble
“Such as Nasty Woman” Mug, $15 on RedBubble
Smart Girls Coffee Mug, $15 at Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls

Because we haven’t innovated a solution to deliver coffee in an IV, we’ve got to drink it out of a cup. On the bright side, at least there are some seriously great coffee cups out there.
