1. Millie Savage Ruby Heart Ring
These wonderous finger blings are made to order, so you won’t get it before Christmas. Order anyway and stare at a screen shot whenever you’re in need of a holiday pick me up. Sitting at Christmas lunch surrounded by Aunty Sharon and Uncle What’s his face who want to know why you’re still single?
Instead of explaining you’re not willing to settle for an emotionally draining douche, stare at the ring. It’s great. I’ve tried it.
Also. Millie Savage is our Goddess to be worshipped. Also. Marry your fucking self and buy the ring. It’s your time bebe.

4. What a Time to be Alone: The Slumflower’s guide to why you are already enough by Chidera Eggerue
In a world that seems to value long term relationships above all else, it can feel like there’s something wrong with you for being alone. Guess what. You’re perfectly amazing and wonderful and this book by Chidera Eggerue wholly affirms this. The Slumflower celebrates you. Your self-worth, and the healing power of choosing yourself.
Chidera shares her wisdom through her own art, and Igbo proverbs passed on by her Nigerian mother. As Chidera says in the opening of Slumflower, “I’m here to remind you that no matter where you find yourself in life, you will always have to face your truth. All of it. You’re not alone, you’re not crazy. Your feelings are valid and it’s time to make peace with them.”
We agree.
5. Womanizer by Lilly Allen
Not only did Lily Allen coin the phrase, ‘fuck you, fuck you very, very much’, she collaborated with the legends at Womanizer to ensure we do in fact, fuck ourselves – very, very much.
The Womanizer is an incredibly effective orgasm inducing device. I bought one after a bunch of friends stared at me without blinking saying things like, ‘orgasm guaranteed’.
Lily knows what’s up.
6. Lush “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” Bath Bomb
Watch a hippo dissolve into relaxing goodness while you soak the horrors of Christmas or Hanukkah or whatever other holiday madness your being confronted with right now.
These bath bombs are fucking cute. Watch them happily float around before they start to disappear. But not before a bunch of popping candy explodes and raspberry and almond essential oils invade your nostrils.
Turns out Hippos smell good. Even while having an existential crisis in the bath.
7. Kester Black Natural Nail Polish
Coating my nails in splendid colour then biting it off mid anxiety-attack is my favourite holiday tradition. Especially if the colour is this good. Buy it for your nails and stare in awe at how vibrant and cool your hands look.
Draw attention to them by wildly gesticulating during holiday conversations. It’s okay if you slap someone in the face by accident. Your hands are so fancy they’ll thank you for it.
8. Fuck off and die mirror decal
You deserve to be told you’re sexy as fuck every goddamn day, and now you can have a mirror decal that does this exact job. It comes in gold or white and smooths onto your mirror like the enabling friend you always wanted. We made them for you because you are fucking awesome.
Also, liking how you look is a political act, in a world where women are told their value lies in their appearance, then are criticised for wearing makeup or getting botox or whatever.
Feminism is about choice, and you get to choose what you do to your own body. That’s what I call sexy as fuck.
