The holidays are one of the best times to gift your friends and loved ones with body-acceptance and fat-positive resources — especially when I’ve collected lots of great options for you. Or, add to your own collection any time of year!
December is also a great time to reinforce your own body-positivity arsenal, because New Year’s is coming — and with it, the usual avalanche of diet culture. All the “New Year, New Me” messaging can have people feeling “less than” for the bodies that they have.
This holiday season, remind yourself and your loved ones that their bodies are perfect the way they are and that they (and you) do not need to change in order to be worthy. Put one of these fun body-positive products in their stocking to give the gift of Body Love this holiday season and have your friends and family going into the New Year feeling proud and ready to take on the new year without feeling that they need to change who they are! (And in this year of social distancing, these little gifts are easy to send directly to your lucky giftee directly from the Body Love Shop.)
Here are 15 body-positive and fat-positive goodies under $10, including stickers, zines, art prints, books, and more.
1. Unfuck Your Boundaries: Build Better Relationships through Consent, Communication, and Expressing Your Needs
Boundaries are the ways we communicate our needs. They are what allow us to feel safe among strangers, in everyday interactions, and in our closest relationships. When we have healthy boundaries, we have a strong foundation in an uncertain world. And when someone crosses your boundaries, or you cross someone else’s, the results range from unsettling to catastrophic.
In this zine, bestselling author Dr. Faith Harper offers a full understanding of issues of boundaries and consent, how we can communicate and listen more effectively, and how to survive and move on from situations where our boundaries are violated.
Along the way, you’ll learn when and how to effectively say “no” (and “yes”), troubleshoot conflict, recognize abuse, and respect your own and others’ boundaries like a pro. You’ll be amazed at how much these skills improve your relationships with friends, strangers, coworkers, and loved ones.

11. Rose Quartz Confidence Stone
Rose quartz is the stone of unconditional love. Like this stone, your body is a perfect creation of nature, and it’s always worthy and valuable. When you hold this stone, let that unconditional love wash across your whole precious body. Remember: When life gets rough, you don’t always have to show up polished.
There are good secrets, and there are bad secrets. So often as adults, our secrets can be sad, or even dangerous. Bring back the days of passing notes in class and silly, happy secrets with the Rose Quartz Confidence Stone. Keep it with you and let it remind you of your inherent value, dignity, and worth each time you touch it. May contain one larger stone (great for your purse or bag) or several smaller stones (great for tucking away as reminders).
