Working Momkind’s 2022 Holiday Gift Guide
The holiday season is upon us, and as you get ready to start crossing names off your list, we encourage you to shop small! This year, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite women/mom-owned businesses. Because if we are going to support the economy, we might as well support businesses that keep us moms in mind by creating products that cater to our wants and needs.
Happy shopping! Don’t forget to get something for yourself; you deserve it!

The softest silk crib sheets, silk pillowcases, and bamboo jammies you will ever touch! Seriously.

When she started sleeping on their first silk crib sheet prototypes, the results were almost immediate and Cora was waking up with way fewer tangles.
