The Enchanted Under Eye oil is the cure to your dark circles, first fine lines and tired looking eyes. All you need is a few drops a day and a couple of weeks-give it some time, the results will thrill you.

How special would a gift like that feel?
6. FOR THE HUSTLING MOMPRENEUR
She's a mom hustling to get her business off the ground in between drop-off and pick-up.
She might feel lonely, and from time to time a litle lost. Entrepreneurship is not a journey for the faint at heart but she doesn't need to do it alone.
Is she your friend- or you?
Every mompreneur can have the gift of community, with Hustle Like A Mom.
Pamela Pekerman was awaken through motherhood to the realization that her lofty aspirations of her 20s were no longer serving her life goals in her 30s.
A mama of 2, loving wife, mentor, business coach, and messaging queen-Pamela realized that she could streamline her new passions and goals in a viable, sustainable system that allowed her to align her personal and professional aspirations, grow her business without burning out, and enjoy life with her family as her soul was calling her to.
She founded the HUSTLE LIKE A MOM INNER CIRCLE to help other mompreneurs do the same in a safe, supportive, non-judgemental micro-environment, a community where we could all learn, grow and flourish together.

7. FOR THE STYLISH MOM ON THE GO
She's stylish and chic, with an active lifestyle and a full schedule.
From the pilates session to a coffee with friends, she craves a capsule wardrobe that will fulfill her need to move without sacrificing her looks.
She's looking for that perfect pair of leggings she can wear with high heels and yoga socks all the same, that will flaunt her curves without revealing her underwear or suffocating her.
It's no longer elusive. This year, you can gift her that dreamy atheisure garment, designed and sewn by hand in NY with eco-conscious materials:

8. FOR THE BIG-HEARTED ONE
She's that woman with the kind smile and the big, loving heart you can't get enough of.
She's all about volunteering and fundraising and will raise her hand for every charity event she can attend.
For this special lady in your life, pick a gift that makes a differece:
Make a donation in her name to a not for profit. There's no better way to celebrate the light she brings into this world. And while there are so many amazing not for profit organizations out there, I can't help but suggest my favorite:
In Kind Boxes is a 501(c)3 volunteer run not for profit organization founded by Maria Berglund.
Maria is on a mission to help postpartum moms in need in the USA feel supported, by curating boxes of high quality postpartum care essentials for them and their babies.
It takes a village-so come join us in being the village of support for these moms who need to feel seen and valued in this challenging phase of their lives.
9. FOR THE SPIRITED TANGUERA
She's often seen around midnight in a gogeous dress and high heels holding a mysterious satin bag next to her normal one.
First thing she'll check out before she flies to a foreign city is the weather. The second one- if there is a milonga. Rumor has it she'll rent at the nearest hotel.
That little mystery bag carries a trophy-often acquired after of hours of research for the best shape, the most supportive heel, the most intricate design.
It carries a pair of her tango shoes.
Eye Dance Shoes is a small business founded in Plano, TX by an immigrant mom, Dilek Kaya.
Dee is a passionate tango dancer, and she knows the importance of the perfect pair of shoes: extra padding, supportive heel, exquisite design that stands out.
The brand carries shoes made by hand in Europe, by one of the most skilled shoe designer-makers in the world.
Many of the Eye Dance Shoes designs can be customised so that you can get your very own pair of tango shoes: custom heel, custom design and your color of preference.
Seeing something you love? Beware-leather styles are selling out fast, so don't wait too long!
Not a dancer? Not a problem. These shoes have (or can be made with) a leather sole, making them perfect to walk in. Next time you're out for a pair of high heels consider getting one meant for tango, the good quality tango shoes are way more comfortable than the average heels ;)

10. FOR THE UNFORGETTABLE SPEAKER ON STAGE
Charismatic. Vibrant. Passionate. She sets the stage on fire.
She's one of a kind-and so is her style.
Her perfect gift? A pair of earrings.
Now, this can't be any pair.
Her earrings need to frame her face beautifully- be bold, but not screaming. A touch of luxury, quality design, but not extravagant- so the main focus is on her words.
They need to be lightweight, and ideally a pair that can match many outfits, a perfect companion for those out of town events when she wants to pack light.
Our best-selling Olia earrings tick all these boxes, and then some.
They come in 2 colors- but we also take custom orders. And yes, there is a alternative with silver-tone posts.
They are inspired by Mediterranean lifestyle and landscape. Yours Truly is crocheting these beauties by hand in Plano TX with elements sourced by small businesses worldwide-and primarily in Greece.
Like all of our designs, Olia gives back to In Kind Boxes so that you-or your bestie-can enjoy that feel good sparkle we're so proud of.
