Festive female power: introducing the Beyonce and Hillary Clinton Christmas tree toppers
Christmas decor just got a feminist revamp, with a new kind of angel adorning living room tree tops.
A British non-profit has created figurines of the world’s leading ladies in entertainment, politics and sport to perch atop our Christmas trees, including wing-clad miniature Beyoncé, Hillary Clinton, and Serena Williams.
The 3-D printed tree-topper range is the creation of Women To Look Up To, a brand that wants to “shine a light on modern female role models” through empowerment programmes and products, starting with their unique Christmas range.
Your Instagram-worthy mini Beyonce, Hillary or Serena will set you back £80, with proceeds going towards the non-profit’s 2018 projects, including Leading Ladies, a mentoring scheme aimed at getting young people access to leading female figures in the arts.
In the year that saw a worldwide women’s protest and a complete resurgence in the feminist movement, there seems to be no better time to have a powerful woman take the starring role in your front room this Christmas.
If the tree topper is set slightly too high for your holiday season budget, fear not, you can still get your fix of woke female festive cheer. Their Christmas card range features a host of women leaders in the spotlight, including Michelle Obama, Adele and Angelina Jolie, with a pack of six retailing at £8.
If there was ever a perfect way to say Merry Christmas to the feminists in your life, this is it.
