As Good Housekeeping’s senior home editor, I come across tons of home-related products, both good and bad. But there are some special finds that are just too great to keep to myself. That’s why I’m sharing my favorite home items with you — our readers — here on our website every month in the hope that you’ll appreciate them as much as I do.
This month's "What's In My Cart" roundup is a special one. I find great joy in supporting Black-owned brands — and not just during the 28 days that are allotted for Black History Month. As a Black woman, it's always been important to purchase from business owners who look like me. I have a deep appreciation for Black entrepreneurs who possess the level of grit and creativity that's required to manage a thriving business in a competitive marketplace. It comes with its own set of unique challenges, so putting my money where my mouth is happens to be just one small act to acknowledge their efforts. Take a look below to shop a small selection of home products from Black-owned companies and make your space chicer while you're at it. These brands (and many others) deserve to be championed now and always.
If you haven't tested the macrame trend, now's your chance. Add texture to your table with these crafty-looking, earth-toned coasters that your family and friends will think you made yourself.
If there's one candle jar that's meant to be reused, it's this one. Tal & Bert's soy candle features a red concrete container with a striking geode accent that's sure to pop on any coffee table, shelf or nightstand. Plus, the wooden wick and warm scent — a blend of fruits, spice and rum — make it a must-have.
Functional pieces don't have to be boring. This colorful storage basket, which was handwoven by Ghanian hat weavers, can help corral small items like sunglasses or jewelry.
Set the foundation for your room with this handwoven geometric rug that's a mix of wool and polyester. It comes in six sizes, so you're sure to find the right option for your home.
