6 Unconventional Gifts for this Christmas
Does looking for a gift stress you out? Does it drain your festive spirits? Stop there, breathe and get inspired by our top gifts for this Christmas.We're not if fans of Christmas being a male centred festivity and all, but this can be another occasion to turn it around. This year let's reclaim the representation of the clitoris and the vagina by wearing, exchanging and gifting them. There is no better way to say "I love you and respect you"!
Marry this with artisanal making and young talents. To wear and to own are actions dangerously connected to capitalism. However, history teaches us that they are also vehicles for reclaiming, sharing and handing down what is most dear to us and our identity as individuals and a community, while making visible what is hidden, beautified or manipulated in mainstream culture.
A Cool Pin by Hammer Chen
Hammer Chen's selection of pins and necklaces is not wide but the few she has on offer on her Etsy page are so cute. Choose between A Vagina Planet, a Man & Man cuddling or a Girl and Girl Cuddling. $8-12
A Vagina Charm Necklace by Tuza Jewellery
Produced in Mexico these necklaces are only for the sisters with a bigger wallet as they are made of real gold plate (either yellow or pink). Initially spotted on my yoga teacher, I then found out that also Adwoa Aboah, model, activist and founder of GURLS TALK, has one. $155
Vagina Rubber Stamp by Crass Stamp
Want to mark the world with millions of vaginas? You well need Crass Stamp's vagina rubber stamp. Mix it also with a poo, vibrator or weed stamp. £7.75
A Brooch by Woolloom
Just like real vaginas all over the world, Woolloom's brooches are wonderfully different in their shape and colour. £20-30
Do It Yourself Clitoris
To support the legal cost of a law suit against a sexual abuse case the International Festival of Contemporary Art City of Women in Ljubljana has made small reproductions of clitorises with a 3D printer. As these are no longer available why get inspired by this and make your own clitoris to give away? If you own a 3D printer then you're sorted but if not why not a giant clitoris to decorate your room?
An AKA Patate Bollenti T-Shirt
We all know the T-shirt is the item of the year. Add a cool print that you are proud to show off and you have the perfect gift. Above the print: choose between a black, white or pink T-shirt, decide where the print goes and order with us asap! €20
