Girl Power Gift Ideas that Aren't Just a Mug with a Slogan
- by Natalie Wood
Girl power is having a real moment right now, and rightly so, but the shops don’t seem to be keeping up! Empowering gifts for women shouldn’t just be a mug with ‘girl boss’ slapped on the front of it in a metallic print that she can’t even put in the dishwasher- am I right? Tired slogans on cheap products don’t celebrate the strength and value of strong women. Let us give you some bold, personality-filled feminist gift ideas to really make her smile!
P.S. high-quality doesn’t have to be expensive, keep reading to see our best girl power gifts for under £5!
Girl Power Gifts That Actually Mean Something
It can be challenging to buy for a strong, independent woman, but the perfect gift will make an impact when words aren’t enough. It should be useful, so it doesn’t sit gathering dust, bold like her personality and funny to take the pressure off. The right gift should make people say ‘ha that’s SO you!’ when she opens it. Predictable is boring, set yourself apart!

FAQs
Should empowerment gifts be funny or serious?
Female empowerment gifts can be anything you like as long as it speaks to the woman who’s receiving it! Make it personal and useful as a starting point. However, a lot is expected of a strong woman, a few laughs can go a long way!
How to pick a girl power gift that feels authentic?
Start with what you know about the woman you’re buying for. Focus on her hobbies or strongest personality traits and quirks then buy a gift that really leans into it!
What’s a good gift for someone who loves girl power?
Try something useful, educational or empowering and pair it with something a little bit daft and fun. Cover both bases and you can’t go wrong! If you want some inspiration, try our Badass Women Book plus F*ck This Sh*t Eco Ballpoint Pen.
What’s the difference between a feminist gift and a girl power gift?
There isn’t one! Girl power is the feminism of the 90s (remember the Spice Girls!?) and nostalgia is bringing it back! Feminism can be thought of as the more serious political version of girl power, but really it’s all about women raising each other up and fighting for / celebrating having the power of choice and equal opportunity.
