Father’s Day Gift Guide - Ft. Buy Women Built Brands

Welcome to my Father’s Day Gift Guide - Ft. (only) 'Buy Women Built' Brands

It's Father's Day just around the corner - on 15th June! Panicking?! No need! We’ve got you covered with some excellent gift ideas (if we do say so ourselves), all featuring brilliant Buy Women Built brands... But first, what is Buy Women Built?

BWB is a movement to support and champion female founded entrepreneurs - and RISE has been a member for a number of years now. Did you know that 81% of 11-18-year olds are unable to name one single female entrepreneur… Plus, There are 30% fewer female entrepreneurs in the UK compared to the US, and only 3% of funded British businesses are female founded. If women started businesses at the same rate as in other developed countries that would add an extra £200 billion to our economy.  Buy Women Built say “By shopping more women built brands, we can together unleash the powerful contribution these businesses can make to our economy, our future, and our communities” - and I couldn’t agree more!

So here’s my round up of BWB products that are perfect for this Father’s Day - from alcohol to chocolate and spicy sauces, I hope there is something for every Dad or Father Figure out there.

With love,

Alice
