Let’s Jingle, Belles!
Read our sciencey/feminist gift guide and weep.
Fed up of Body Shop sets, generic Amazon vouchers and cringey faux-Famous Five books on lame husbands? We hear you. Here are some quirky, nerdy, feminist and/or sciencey gift ideas – why not give them to someone you love and help them avoid the sense of crushing despair that characterises the 2020 festive season? HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
For eating
(left to right):
Biscuits that are sweet in more than one way. Though could YOU eat an icing-covered Malala without a qualm?
Sistas. All the nagging, screeching and being hysterical really screws over your vocal chords, amirite? Suck on these babies to keep your throat shrill-ready at all times.
Don’t pretend you’ve never wanted to eat a heart, Daenerys-style. Well now you can look badass with no danger of vomming blood and sinew all over your rug/cat.
For the home
(left to right):
Let’s guess – you’ve been told your whole life you need a man to complete you? Fuck that. This giant cuddly antibody will always be there for you.
Plant murder is on the up, so we’re told. Women are nurturing, my arse. Give someone a decent chance of keeping a plant alive with one of these ‘Unkillables’.
Let’s be honest, people think feminists spend their time drinking man tears anyway. Might as well own it with this mug..
For womankind
(left to right):
Most people can only name a couple of female scientists. Change that now with this book.
Save yourself a whole load of time by playing the feminist card every time you meet some misogynistic dickhead. We’ve bought 37 packs.
"No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself." PREACH, Virginia Woolf bag.
For wearing
(left to right):
Yes, this jumper is everywhere, and no we don’t care. We’d be perfectly happy if it became an unofficial lockdown uniform.
Who wants to stick their socked feet in the air and pretend they’re female astronauts? Us, that’s who.
Show your solidarity and support women’s safety at work with this beanie – subtle, but profits go to the Time’s Up legal fund.
For sparkling
(left to right):
Let’s be honest, many of us are at the mercy of our hormones. But the oestrogen molecule makes a cracking necklace charm.
Space fans, space fans, lend me your ears! I want to hang a tiny astronaut on them.
We got chills when Kamala Harris said this at the debate. Wear this bracelet to remind yourself you too are worth listening to.
Honourable mention:
This perfectly named lipstick has sold out. I mean, we’ll be saying “fuck Trump” ’til the day we die, but it would’ve been great to back it up with a bit of slap.
