| | Celebrate the Winter Solstice with Rest & Relaxation | |
| ESSIES,
The Winter Solstice invites us to slow down, reflect, and celebrate the beauty of rest, renewal, and warmth. It's a moment to honor the women who create light in every season—who hold space, pour love into others, and move through life with intention.
Welcome to WeLoveUs.shop powered by ESSENCE, your destination for Winter Solstice gifts that feel grounded, meaningful, and lasting. These are thoughtful finds designed to nourish the spirit and elevate everyday rituals—from cozy wellness essentials to intentional self-care pieces made for quiet moments and deep restoration. Each gift is an offering of warmth, presence, and care—long after the longest night has passed.
Because Winter Solstice is about choosing something that says I honor you, I see your light, and I support your rest.
And when you shop WeLoveUs.shop, your intention goes even further. Every purchase directly supports a Black woman founder, helping her sustain and grow her business while strengthening our collective community.
Here are two founders you can invest in right now.
