It’s no secret that small businesses have been struggling during the pandemic. Find the perfect holiday gift for everyone on your list – all while diverting your purchasing power to help keep small female-owned businesses afloat – with The Pangea Dreams 2020 Holiday Gift Guide.

For the frequent flier

The perfect gift for the travel lovers in your life!

Curated boxes are so much fun to receive. These are great for people that you may not see this holiday season, but want to send them something right to their house.

Munwa Boxes are designed by Bali Alumni Caroline aka @carolinevoyages. Each box is highly curated and features lifestyle products from around the world, allowing you to have a luxurious, cultural experience from the comfort of your living room.

For the fashionista

This full-color nail art workbook by NYC celebrity manicurist (and Pangea Alumni!) Julie Kandalec is an educational sketchbook for nail art lovers at every level.

Printed on heavy paper, it features color palettes inspired by global travels, color theory, plus 27 pages of blank nail shapes to make your nail looks come to life! Fun for all ages.

Another find for the fashionista on your list are these one-of-a-kind polymer clay earrings! Each Vacay + Clay small-batch collection is inspired by Bali Alumni Lindsay‘s travels. Denpasar from the Bali collection will transport anyone straight to Indonesia – exactly what your travel-obsessed friend needs in 2020.

This set it bold and made to stand out! Made from polymer clay, sometimes brass, and nickel-free earring backs, all Vacay + Clay earrings are intentionally designed to be lightweight and uniquely designed so no one pair is exactly the same. Find more from the Bali collection, as well as a Guanajuato and Nomad Collection here.

For the health fanatic on your list

For your BFF

This thoughtful gift is perfect for your long-distance bestie or travel-loving sisters (both biological and not).

The Go The Distance necklace is the perfect simple piece to wear while traveling, or at home…(when you’re planning your next adventure!) Perfect for that wanderlust girl at heart.

For your creative friends (or the family member who has everything)

This gift idea is perfect for anyone in your life who values experiences more than things! Pangea Dreams go-to photog Samanta Katz aka @Samkat has created the only Lightroom class you will ever need.

With two courses to choose from this gift will level up anyones photography/blogging/Instagram game in no time!

For the self-care advocate

2020 has given us plenty of reasons to feel anxious, stressed, and depressed— which is exactly why self-care has never been more important.

Alumni Laura aka @bylauraabate created Oh Cocoon to empower entrepreneurs to create balance, not burnout!

Oh Cocoon‘s soy candles smell like a sweet blend of florals and fruits designed to elevate your cocooning moment. Each one is 10 oz of natural wax that burns for 55+ hours with a wooden wick that adds a relaxing crackling sound. The perfect gift for ANYONE on your list.

Another gift idea for the self-care enthusiast comes from Greece Alumni Linda @linda_bogdanov.

Perfect for removing makeup, face masks, and putting toner on, @tayvada.life‘s reusable bamboo face pad set comes with 14 pads – 7 terry bamboo, 7 grey bamboo fleece. It even includes a mesh washing bag and comes in a tropical-inspired box.

Tayvada is a self-care brand with a focus on creating high quality, eco-conscious products. In addition to creating eco-conscious products, every purchase contributes to a carbon offset initiative through our partner Cool Effects. A gift you can feel good giving!

For the little ones in your life

Ignite a curiosity about the world and its many cultures by inspiring future wanderers with this next gift idea.

Written by our own Lauren Mae Pelkey Wally The Wandering Wallaby’s Around The World Adventure is more than just a picture book.

Wally The Wandering Wallaby is a curious creature who wanders the globe in search of new experiences and new friends with a wide-open heart and mind.
