FANTI Holiday Gift Guide Recommendations

Meredith in Scotland recommends:

I’m from the US, but I live in Edinburgh, Scotland, so these recs are Scotland-based.  I’m not sure how many of them ship worldwide, but would definitely be some good options for other UK-based listeners.  (I know I’m not the only one!)  

Black-Owned Businesses:  

Rafiki Coffee 

Delicious coffee!  Definitely recommend!  

Matugga Rum  

Theirs is my go-to spiced rum these days.  Love.  It.  

Perf United 

I’ve loved their Go Bananas Babe Butter and Go Bananas Babe Bar, but my fave is their Sauce Pot Babe Butter.  Smooth and silky skin, yes please.  

Queer-Owned Business:  

Natalie J Wood

Ceramics!  Beautiful bowls, vases, plates, clocks, and other things to beautify your home.  I’ve got like 7 or 8 pieces of hers and always want more even though I don’t know where to put them.  

Kari recommends:

Kobi Co.

I bought my niece in law a candle from Kobi Co. a Black owned women’s company from Minneapolis. They sell beautiful items that come with Spotify playlists.

 

Miiriya

Also there’s an app called Miiriya. It’s a store front that sells items from black businesses and they also have a section for people in need that you can give to. 

Mel in Australia:

Trading Blak

Australia has a violent and shameful history, since invasion, in how white Europeans (especially the British) have treated Aboriginal people. One of the ways this oppression has continued is in the appropriation of Aboriginal art by non-Aboriginal businesses. Non-Aboriginal people have profited significantly from commodifying Aboriginal art without working as equal partners with artists, without understanding the stories embedded in the art, and certainly without sharing profits fairly. Trading Blak is one attempt to redress this, and is self-determination in action.
