Thembi Mawema (Director of TSR, Social Media), Voova Small Jewelry Box/Organizer: This jewelry box/case is a travel must-have if you’re a jewelry girl! It keeps your rings, necklaces, and things organized, tangle-free, and easy to carry when you’re on the go.
Aiesha Letman (Editing Manager), Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil: I try to get as many people using this conditioner as possible, especially if they use heat on their hair. It also makes hair naturally soft, shiny and manageable. It’s worth 30 dollars.
Taylor Bickham (Director of Social Content, TSR Teens), Custom Name Neon Sign: At $79, this neon sign is the perfect gift for content creators looking to make a name for themselves in the digital space. It can be hung in a bedroom or dorm, ideal for any college or high school student.

jade white face (Social media content producer), Pay someone’s bill on vacation (no link for that): Times are tough for a lot of people, so I’m sure having someone help by paying the holiday bill will help put a smile on the face of someone who is receiving relief.
Cassandra Santiago (Editor), Self-love Affirmations Deck: Love Affirmations Deck from SaySoSoul got me through a lot of bad days! Everyone deserves a reminder of their greatness by their side and I keep these ON ME!

Saran Tarawaley (Social Media Content Producer), Newmowa 60 LED High Power LED: This gives your photos the perfect light no matter where you are. It’s a small lamp that fits in your pocket. You can take it anywhere! Do you try to get perfect pictures like IG baddie? This is the best light to invest in.
Nick Fenely (Scriptwriter), Hip Hop Vinyl Record Label Coaster: If you need to track down an archive for an OG rap fan, look no further. These fun coasters are made to look like old favorite album covers, so everyone can protect their coffee table in style.
Jadriena Solomon (Sr. Editor), Fenty Skin Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Lotion: didn’t play any games when she created this limited edition Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream. Does it moisturize my skin better than any other product I’ve used? Right. Does it leave me smelling like a rich Biscotti? Right. Will I buy 10 more before the product disappears from the shelves? Right!!!
Maya (Social Media Content Producer), Luxome Luxury Sheet Set: Going to bed is not playing, just staying here is the best! So I’m always on the hunt for high-quality bedding. I highly recommend this plush bamboo bed sheet, they are super soft and cool.
