Most corporate gifts are forgotten within a week. A few stay. The ones that stay are not the most expensive. They are the ones with a story behind them. A reason to keep them on the desk.
10 Million Women gifts tell a story and support women-owned businesses. A leather laptop sleeve hand-stitched by women rebuilding their lives in India. A planter made from ocean plastic in Guatemala. A candle made in London contributing 1% of revenue to environmental and social causes. A water bottle made using 60% less energy than a standard bottle. Each one from a women-owned business. Each one with an environmental or social story worth telling.
This is a guide to five corporate gifts that support women-owned businesses while creating real impact.
1. A leather laptop sleeve hand-stitched by women in India
In a small workshop in India, women rebuilding their lives are making leather goods of remarkable quality. The Loyal Workshop reinvests 100% of profits into counselling, education and healthcare for the women who make these pieces. Seventeen women are now in stable employment and supporting their families.
The leather is full veg-tanned cow hide, eco-tanned to let the full grain show its character.

2. A planter made from ocean plastic by women in Guatemala
Plastic waste from oceans, rivers and landfills, upcycled into beautifully crafted homeware. Handmade in Guatemala from 97% post-consumer recycled HDPE. Every product supports jobs for 375 women in the region.
The Upcycled Mini Planter is a small object that carries a large story. A desk gift that started life as discarded plastic and now lives as something useful. Personalised with your logo.
3. A candle made in London that funds clean water projects
Made in London in small batches with responsibly sourced ingredients. A member of 1% for the Planet, contributing at least 1% of annual revenue to environmental and social causes including The Childhood Trust and charity: water clean water projects. The collection is inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and designed to encourage balance and connection with the seasons.
The Fire Candle is made in London in small batches and contributes to environmental and social causes through 1% for the Planet.
4. A cotton straw bag made by artisans in Ghana
Local artisans in Ghana working with natural fibres for bags and baskets, and recycled beads for jewellery. Transparent production costs, fair wages, community training and skill-building.
The Cotton Straw Bag brings traditional Ghanaian craft into a corporate gift.
5. A wooden bottle stopper that funds education in rural Guatemala
In the Petén region of Guatemala, breaking the cycle of poverty through employment and education. Every piece is handcrafted from FSC certified wood, protecting the jungle for future generations. Each purchase creates local jobs and funds education for young people in the region.
