Lucy Lou Organics Knotted Gown

The perfect baby shower gift (or treat yourself gift), these super soft knotted gowns come in the most gorgeous shades and make middle-of-the-night diaper changes a breeze. And, let's be real, who doesn't love a picture of a newborn all curled up in a knotted gown?!

Milky Mama Dairy Dutchess Drops

IYKYK. Making sure you're making enough milk for your baby is one of the biggest stressors of breastfeeding in those first few months. That's why we love these lactation drops filled with breastmilk-boosting ingredients like goat rue, alfalfa leaf, fennel seed and marshmallow root. The best part is how easy it is to add to your daily routine: simply add a few squeezes into whatever you're already drinking for the day (or take it directly) and you're good to go!

'Watch Me'

This empowering and moving new picture book was inspired by the story of the author Doyin Richard's dad who moved to from Africa to the US with nothing but big dreams and lots of hopes. Despite encountering many challenges and racism, he perservered and made his dreams come true. It's a beautiful story that teaches kids to see what it's like to be someone from a different place and also to notice that not everyone may look like them — and how that's a good thing.

Ecoslay Leave-In Conditioner

While this luxurious rice pudding conditioner will feel amazing on every hair type, it works wonders on curls to keep them moisturized, shiny and bouncy. Plus, it smells amazing. Like all of their other products, it's made of 100% organic and sustainable ingredients so you can feel good about knowing what's going in your hair. And unlike something you buy from a big box store, every EcoSlay product is still made and shipped from one of the founder's kitchen.

Pamoja 3-in-1 Nia Crossbody Bag

This gorgeously crafted crossbody bag is simultaneously a wallet, purse and clutch for whatever mood you're feeling. And for every purse purchased, a percentage goes towards the Kujuwa Initiative in Kenya whose mission it is to teach girls about their reproductive health so they are equipped and empowered to continue their education and make informed decisions about their lives.

Oui the People Featherweight Body Gloss

This crazy luxurious "body gloss" hydrates thirsty skin so deeply that it practically glows, yet never looks greasy. It's no wonder this gorgeously packaged product has a cult following.
