For many of us, 2024 was a year. From rap rivalries to that disastrous election cycle, there were more culture catastrophes than today’s zeitgeist or, more importantly, our minds could handle. We’ll say this: If Doechii’s viral Denial Is A River lyric, “I can't even fucking cap no more, this is a really dark time for me,” is speaking to your soul this holiday season, we don’t blame you. In fact, the Unbothered team found TK gifts from Black-owned businesses to help you and your loved ones get calm, cozy, and collected asap.
The following holiday presents, whether they’re for you or your stressed-out friends, are perfect for finally pressing pause — especially because they’re made for us, by us. Perhaps you’re on an emergency social media break or picking up meditation. Whatever is protecting your peace this winter, these Black-owned wellness journals, body oils, onesies, and more are some excellent gateways to happy holidays, according to us.
