GIFT IDEA #1: THE LINGLINGO COLLECTION



An ancestral amulet, the Linglingo is an ancient Philippine symbol for fertility and virility. Traditionally round, with an opening on one side, the shape resembles the female uterus and the negative space, the head of a penis—illustrating the perfect union of male and female energies. ‘Linglingo’ means “lingo that serves the act of creation”, “lingo that issues the thought of manifestation”, “lingo that conjures the power to bring forth”.

GIFT IDEA #8: THE ASTRO + MAMA HOOPIES



Healing with shell⁠—the black lip shell is believed to strengthen intuition, imagination and adaptability. The shell’s refraction of light color helps clear and open the mind to new insights. With everything that’s happened this year, the Astro Hoopies use the black lip shell to foster new perspectives and promote cohesive energy between the self and others. Because let’s face it, the only way for us to create real change is if we do it together.

The Mama Hoopies are classic hoopies with an iridescent twist.

Both the Astro and Mama Hoopies are made with variations of the mother of pearl—ethically sourced & made by Ethnic Ventures, an all-female community in Southern Cebu, Philippines.
