With the Holidays upon us we’re all wondering what to buy our friends, family and everyone in-between! After the crazy couple of years we’ve had, connectivity and love are even more centered in gift-giving this year, but what do you get the girl who has everything? Cash and gift-cards won’t cut it for this little one, she really wants something that speaks to her goals, interests, and identity! Don’t worry, the #CorageCrew has you covered.

Something She’s Never Had Before - A Black Doll by a Black Company

How many little girls do you know that have a doll that represents them? Not only a Black doll, but a beautiful doll who has her own story and is from a Black Women owned and operated business. Play is one of the very crucial development pieces for youth and providing them with empowering images, stories, and toys that can reflect the world they see (or don’t) around them is important to their empathy and self-image development. Get her an Aaliyah Doll Bundle! This perfect pack comes with Aaliyah herself, a “Don’t Give Up, Aaliyah!” entrepreneur story, and her very own #BecauseRepresentationMatters pin.

A Matching Fit for Her and Aaliyah

This holiday season the little fashionista in your life will fall in love with a whole new fit for Aaliyah, her very own Lounge Set! This super soft, jersey knit, sweatshirt + leggings + headband set comes with a matching scrunchie just for your little one. Make a statement in her bright patterned leggings and matching headband that is perfectly complemented with a dazzling, trendy, blue crewneck sweatshirt that’s easy to put on with its velcro back to not mess up Aaliyah’s cute curls. Speaking of curls, the scrunchie is a perfect pop of color for any outfit while being soft on your luscious crown. The soft fabric helps by not pulling so hard on the hair and lets the curls be curly (which is really healthy for hair roots).

A Gift That Gives Back

Did you know that we have a philanthropic line called Cultivate Courage that gives back to the Black community through donating 50% of proceeds from the sale to organizations whose missions are to empower, and uplift Black communities across America. For your fashion forward folks grab them a crewneck sweatshirt or a t-shirt to rock a purpose with any outfit. Have a little entrepreneur like Aaliyah, get her a little green notebook to write down all of her brilliant ideas. You know you can never have too many mugs, with the cool weather that comes with the holiday season sip with significance! Fill your #CultivateCourage mug to the brim with hot cocoa, eggnog, apple cider, and for the grown ups a nice cup of coffee or tea.

The Perfect Stocking Stuffers

Make a goal to fill your stockings with all Black Owned Businesses this year. Sometimes the best gifts aren’t huge! Corage Dolls carries some really great stocking stuffers that speak volumes without breaking the bank. Our #BecauseRepresentationMatters pin is a great accessory to tell it how it is. Add this pin to a backpack, purse, jacket, scarf, hat, the list goes on! Not big on pins? We’ve got notebooks to doodle, mugs that aren't meant just for warm beverages (Aaliyah likes to eat her ice cream out of her #CultivateCourage mug), and scrunchies for when you feel the need to tame your mane.

We’re making it a goal to not only shop small this year but to shop Black. One purchase from a small, Black owned business could make all the difference in your gift giving. Happy Holidays from the #CorageCrew 💜
