I’m excited to share some of the local and women-owned businesses that I support. I hope you can find some gifts for family, friends, or yourself!

Products

Featured

Knack is my go-to for gifting my in-laws and co-workers. The gift sets are expertly curated and feature small (often local) businesses. For business gifting Knack can print your logo into the unboxing experience! Knack is a Seattle-based ecommerce company based in Georgetown and run by Laura Jennings.

Le Petit Chose

Seattle-based Catherine Honoré Jones’ company Le Petit Chose is my go-to for baby gifts (in any season). Catherine just launched a new, organic collection which includes her flagship product, sleeping sacks. The sleeping sacks are high-quality and expandable for growing babies!

PS - Children’s sleeping bags are coming soon!

Yo Soy Candle

Yo Soy Candle is a handmade, eco-conscious, affirmation candle hand poured in small batches using a creamy 100% certified kosher soy wax. Find them online, at 8 Limbs Yoga in Capitol Hill, or at Smith Tower in Pioneer Square.

Leslie will donate $2 per candle to The Cupcake Girls, a non-profit that she partners will regularly.

Station 7 Seattle

The team at my favorite Capitol Hill gift shop will wrap your gift, too! Check them out on Small Business Saturday (11/30).

Persist the Game

Persist is a game that celebrates life from the female perspective. Let the frustrations of double standards and mansplaining give way to laughter. Developed by three Seattle women who met in the trenches of corporate America.

Proceeds will benefit Ada Developers Academy
