Is This Holiday Shopping in July
Every year Oprah does her favorite things and it’s a good idea. Why not share the things that we definitely love and have enjoyed this year? It’s also a great time because online shopping is at its heights with mid-year sales and celebrations from huge retailers like Amazon and Wal-Mart. Now, you will find that some of these brands have been on other lists, but that’s because they fit the occasion. This is just the list of things that our family and friends have enjoyed. Don’t forget to see all of the listings in the directory, and without further adieu, here are Buy Black Main Street’s Favorite Things.
If you follow us on social media you will see that we share a lot of content from this brand. It’s for a good reason, everything that we try from this brand is surprisingly better than expected. The salsa is tasty and great for those who aren’t cilantro fans, the seasonings are flavorful and not packed with salt and the sauces are tasty and unique. Take this as an opportunity for you to give some of their products a try for yourself.
When you’re looking for snacks that bring the flavor, look no further than Rebellion harvest. The snack seed market is not one where you expect to see a Black Owned Brand, but it also represented a true opportunity. This brand has its “Lemon pepper Wet” sunflower seeds and pistachios along with more great flavors. It is also know for its energetic ad campaigns as well.
There is a lot of attention on the sneaker market. We love our footwear. Ethics is different because a lot of brands are designed to be style forward, casual luxe fashion pieces. Ethics are ready for you to put in work. But they aren’t bad to look at either. The owner, Langston Galloway knows something about performance as a professional basketball player. What also stands out is the build quality and the price. For some emerging brands, price can be a barrier to entry. With Ethics, you don’t have that worry, and you have a brand that is all about the grind and doing it the right way.
Getting your fits together and buying Black might be one of the easiest things to do. There are a lot of great Black owned clothing brands out there, but not many like this one. Worldnvsn has unique cuts and styles of pants and shorts that are also stylish. They also have a regular selection of t-shirts you can get. Now, my family knows I love a deal and if you sign up for alerts, you can get some great deals on Tees. I’ve purchased several for 2.99 and they are simple but high quality. The price with shipping can go up but two or three tees for about $20 bucks is a deal you cannot beat.
SIA is a good brand because of the attention to detail and design. It is also one of the few Black Owned Fashion and Sneaker brands that has something new almost every week. While there can be a rush to get regular drops, there are also plenty of times when there are pre-order options and dozens of new designs for you. From outerwear to footwear this brand has a bit of everything.
Part of my Holiday shopping last year was to make sure everyone had something from a Black Owned Brand. Superb came in handy because they had a great sale a few months earlier so I was able to get everyone a pair of tennis shoes from this brand. These designs are simple, classic and lightweight. They are dropping new colorways regularly and also have great sales for those who love a good deal.
Vicky’s Cakes is one of the best tasting pancake mixes that you can find today. This isn’t your regular add water mix either so don’t count on that. This is a premium mix that brings the flavor texture with every bite. This brand also offers syrup that doesnt have artificial preservatives in it for your family too.
Mama Laverne’s makes it easy to get a brunch, lunch, or dinner meal of chicken and waffles going. This kit comes with a waffle mix- delicious, and a chicken breading that is flavorful for you as well. One of the places you can find this online is through Target.
Sienna Sauce became known to most people from their appearance on Shark tank. That’s where I first saw the brand as well, but being on Shark Tank doens’t mean that you’ve made it, it’s just a beginning. Sienna Sauce can be found now in some Target stores, and on the east coast at Wegmans. These sauces are great on wings, and the lemon pepper and original are two flavors in my regular rotation.
Pecandy is an awesome treat. These candied pecans are flavored well and have the perfect crunchy candy crust on them. These are great for charcuterie boards or you can use them as a special addition to brunch or dessert. You can use them for a snack of course, but once you get started, it’s so hard to stop, so buy three jars, not just one.
