When we have the few warm days of Spring in Boston, you can expect to find us sitting on our front steps with a glass of white wine toasting to yet another New England winter behind us. As the lingering afternoon sun soaks into our skin and we watch the sun go down, at 7pm instead of 5pm, we are in full denial that there will inevitably be a snow flurry in the forecast in April...

Regardless, we can't help but to get excited for temperatures that reach above 50 degrees, longer days, and sunshine. In anticipation of brighter days ahead and in honor of the end of Women's History Month we've put together a Sailormade Spring Wish List. Check out our curated spring shopping guide of must-have items from female-founded businesses in Massachusetts and the Sailormade accessories that compliment them.

Nothing says Spring like a fresh ocean breeze with wafts of seagrass and budding flowers. Farm + Sea offers a beautiful selection of fragrances to compliment each season. We keep one of Farm + Sea's reed diffusers in the Boat House studio at all times. When we look out our window we don't see Boston traffic going South, we see blue water lapping against pristine sandy beaches.

3. Joy Street Kids

Quarantine pregnancies means springtime babies. So, we are stocking up on the adorable clothes and accessories from Joy Street Kids. The hand drawn Boston print is of course our go-to for expecting families. The soft 100% Pima Cotton has us wondering when adult sizes will be available 😆.

The parents of the little one have a lot of work ahead of them! If they can't make it to the beach this Spring, give them the gift that will remind them a beach vacation is right around the corner. 

 

4. Organic Bath Co.

That salt air and sunshine feel magnificent against your skin. However,  the long New England winter spent bundled up indoors may leave your skin feeling extra dehydrated after a day spent outdoors under the sun. That's why we love Organic Bath Co's super hydrating bath products that work to repair and replenish your skin. Our favorite products: Nourish Night Face Balm and Drenched Organic Body Body with Argan & Jojoba.

5. Proud Pour

Female founder: Berlin Crystal Kelley
Find her on a map: Boston, MA

Follow on Instagram: @ProudPour

Proud Pour says it all in the name, a wine you are proud to pour. Each wine is yes, delicious, and stands for an amazing cause. Sip Pinot for Bees, Rose for Reefs, and, our favorite, Sauvignon Blanc for the Oysters. Each individual bottle of the crisp, Mendocino County wine restores 100 wild oysters to estuary ecosystems. They sponsor a non-profit very close to our hearts here at Sailormade, the Mass Oyster Project.

6. Chappy Wrap

When the temperature changes from numbers below freezing to 50F+ it feels like a tropical paradise in Boston. However, we all know that chilly is chilly when you're sitting out on beach and the sun starts to go down. That's where Chappy Wrap blankets come in. Wrap this oversized, soft to the touch, cotton blend blanket around you and cozy up on the beach until morning.
