Welcome to the 2022 Holiday Gift Ideas and Buying Guide – FOR HER
Kayleigh May
About
“Kayleigh-May, the designer and founder of Kayleigh May L.L.C. always dreamed of mermaid-length hair. However, for years she struggled with constant breakage and brittle hair due to damaging elastics and harsh chemical products. Determined to finally grow her mermaid locks, Kayleigh-May sought out a better way to take care of her hair.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she began sewing scrunchies and experimenting with different fabrics. That’s when she came across Mulberry Silk. Not only did the scrunchie style allow for less “tug” on her hair, the benefits of Mulberry Silk allowed her to grow her hair with ease! The Mulberry silk provided a smooth finish to her scrunchies that allowed for natural hair movement which resulted in less breakage, less natural healthy oils removed from her locks, and locked in hydration!
With her hair now long and thriving, Kayleigh-May wants to help other women and men achieve their hair goals while still looking super fashionable.”

Sprout
About
“The Original Plantable Sprout Pencil.
Yes, you read that right. Sprout’s pencils can be planted after you’ve used them and they grow into herbs, flowers, vegetables and even spruce trees.
The idea behind this unique item is that if you can upgrade a pencil so it has a second life as a plant, what other small changes can you make in your everyday life to be more sustainable?
Planting a pencil is not just about celebrating the glory of plants and making the unusual possible, it’s also a step on the path to zero waste living, and considering the full life cycle of anything you use.
This innovative idea is making a big impact, with over 40 million pencils sold across 80 countries.
We’re proud to be the inventors of the only plantable eyeliner and browliner in the world. Instead of throwing your makeup pencils in the trash after use, where they could contribute to pollution, Sprout makeup pencils can be planted to grow into bee-friendly wildflowers.
We made the makeup pencils because we want to prove that a sustainable makeup pencil can be effective, easy to use and be good for both nature and humans.
Sprout makeup pencils are made in collaboration with a leading European vendor within the beauty industry. They took up our challenge to make a makeup pencil made with an allergy-free vegan formula that doesn’t compromise on quality. They achieved everything we asked for and more. The result is a rich, color intense eyeliner that is easy to apply.
Using a Sprout eyeliner or browliner, you’ll look good and feel great. Our makeup pencils are made from certified wood with a vegan formula that uses natural ingredients. Most importantly, you know the makeup you’re using gives back to nature.”

Sugar Scents Scented Hair Spray
About
“Kimberly Hebert
Founder & Creator of Sugar Scents
Kimberly Hebert has a major obsession with hairspray! She grew up in the 80’s when it was all about big hair and big dreams, this is where she developed her life-long passion to create a multi-functional styling product that smells as great as it performs.
As a department manager of SAFEWAY in Washington State, Hebert did not let her ‘day-to-day responsibilities’ of managing a day job, farm and family get in the way. Fully self-funded, she took to the labs with her Hair-Criteria and business acumen to develop a customizable spray which holds, protects, moisturizes, and maintains shine.
Kimberly believes that hair products that smell good are hair products that every woman deserves. It’s a misconception that good styling sprays have to have a strong alcohol smell to them. Hebert wanted to create a formula that would not only make your hair look great, but also smell great!”
