Handmade Gifts for Her

A recent google searched highlighted ‘handmade gifts for her’ was a popular search term… really?
I get that a large majority will be used to this search term but at The Emporium, we try not to put people in boxes. Take Lee from Tuff E Nuff leather works, he makes the most gorgeous handmade leather belts, all finished off with a solid brass buckle. He makes them in a full range of sizes and both lighter and darker shades of brown and well as tones of black. So with old school thinking, this is obviously a gift for him - or is it? Females generally prefer a slightly narrower design so as Lee makes belts to order, he can create something to suit any form, any gender, including neutral.
The shop is laid out following the same mantra, we don’t have specific gifts except maybe for pets! Even then, if you want to revisit your punk days with one of our vegan friendly biothane dog collars, then we have you covered.
It’s gonna take time but slowly even the big sites like Etsy and notonthehighstreet are moving away from the stereotypes and this is a good thing for you because it’s widens the range as far as your choice of gifts is concerned.
Just for the record, as someone who recognises themselves as a male, I’d be delighted at receiving a wax melt gift set, something traditionally the reserve of ‘gifts for her’
