At New Horizons Downtown, we are gearing up for Women’s History Month in March. From our founder, co-owner, general manager, website whiz, store managers, and employees- women have been an integral part of New Horizons’ success from the beginning. That’s why we get excited when March comes around! Use this post as an excuse to learn more about Women's History Month, how women are celebrating internationally, or to simply tell the women in your life how much you appreciate them. 

If you’re looking for a little something special to give to the special women in your life, here are some ideas:

Celebrate and inspire the future generation of women with our Kamala Harris Shopper from Blue Q. Or, if you’re searching for a small, cute gift to give to your friends, look no further than the  Fight Like A Girl Zipper Pouch. Want to remind those around you that you’re in charge? Slip on these I'm the Boss socks. Made of recycled materials and with 1% of Blue Q’s sales going to support environmental initiatives around the globe, you can feel good about your purchase!

Looking to connect more with the women of your family? Explore Peter Pauper’s  Like Mother, Like Daughter as a way to discover more special memories about each other. Though it is intended for mothers and daughters, any female relative in your life would surely appreciate this journal.

Is there a woman in your life who loves crystals? Look no further than SoulKu. These beautiful necklaces and bracelets feature different crystals or stones to help you achieve various states of mind. Handcrafted by mothers in Asheville, NC , this local brand is made by women, for women. Their Friendship Necklace is the perfect present for your besties. Made from turquoise blue crystal, this necklace “honors love, compassion, support, and friendship” while also looking lovely around your neck.  Pair that with the fuchsia Happiness bracelet, made with magnetic hematite to promote grounding, to let your friends know how happy they make you.

Looking for something to give to the light of your life? Scout, a company led and founded by women, offers suncatchers that will throw rainbows around the room in a dazzling display. Made with brass, amethyst, and crystal, the Evil Eye Suncatcher is as protective as it is gorgeous. As an extra gift to you, Scout donates 10% of net profits to causes that support women.
