It’s that wonderful time of year where we scramble to find the perfect gift for our loves ones (or just buy gift cards and be done with it) while wearing ridiculous sweaters to parties, listening to THAT Mariah Carey classic over and over (and over) again, and watching Home Alone for the millionth time.
For many, it’s the most stressful time of year which is why we put together this (amazing) gift guide to make your shopping experience easier, especially online.This holiday season, we’re featuring a carefully curated collection of must-haves headlined by Brown Sugar Babe–the ‘internet’s favorite body oils’ that just might change your life–no, seriously.

Founded by Maekaeda Gibbons who started making her own versions of high-end fragrances as a self-care ritual, the multimillion-dollar empire exploded into one of the most bankable brands in the melanin-thin space.
“This desire in me is to make sure that the girls that look like me feel seen,” said Gibbons in an interview with ESSENCE.
“I don’t think that’s the case for regular fragrance brands. And I use the term regular, meaning their marketing strategy does not include Black women in a prominent way.”
With Black women as 85% of her loyal customer base, Gibbons is primed for an even bigger 2026 with her coveted collection of luxurious products that sell out just as fast as they’re restocked.
