As you may have heard, March 8th is International Women's Day. It's part of the month-long observation that occurs every March for Women's History Month, and it's the perfect time to show some love to not only the women in your life, but also other women, like those who paved the way for girls to succeed in male-dominated industries and those who are out here right now hustling to build brands and effect change. These 11 woman-owned businesses are led by people doing just that—and creating cool products to boot. Learn more about them and their brands and maybe take home one of their creations.

Mindy Tenenbaum, Founder, DNA My Dog

Mindy Tenenbaum is well-known for being a true animal lover, with her heart firmly planted in the world of animal rescue. She founded DNA My Dog back in 2008 after realizing that DNA testing could help rescue organizations continue their mission. Tenenbaum once told Natfluence, "My inspiration for the business was originally to help dog shelters and rescues raise money by offering DNA testing to their adopters." Her background includes serving as an expert witness in animal abuse cases, which is well-supported by her master's in veterinary science with a specialization in veterinary forensics. She's basically the perfect fit to run a canine DNA testing company.

DNA My Dog Breed Identification Test

The report offers insight into your dog's unique characteristics, including personality, breed mix, predisposition to disease, and more. You can use the data from the DNA test to make informed decisions with your vet about diet, exercise, and training, helping you give your pup their very best life, based on science. Support this woman-owned business and get your dog breed identification kit for $59.99 (reg. $79).

Christina Hawatmeh, Founder, Scopio

NY Finance named Christina Hawatmeh one of the Top Entrepreneurs to Follow, and for good reason. Hawatmeh founded Scopio to combat the lack of diversity that exists in stock photography. As she explained to Yahoo, "Art, photography, and images we are exposed to on a daily basis can shape the way we perceive the world around us. Many times, these art forms are highly filtered to show a very specific type of image that casts out minority groups, reserving the industry for few kinds of people and particularly excluding members of our youngest generation." Thanks to Hawatmeh's vision and know-how, this Forbes30under30 company is able to leverage AI in a more inclusive way that benefits content creators and consumers.

Elizabeth Grojean, Founder & CEO, Baloo Living

Elizabeth Grojean grew up with an entrepreneurial dad, graduated with a marketing degree, and solidified her desire to run her own business after working at a startup and feeling that excited, ambitious energy. What she didn't know was what, exactly, that business should be. After a transformative sabbatical in Bali that gave her the opportunity to find stillness and reset, she launched Baloo Living, a wellness company on a mission to support people in reconnecting mind and body for a deeper sense of peace. Baloo continues to grow and expand its sleep-related product line while in the process of phasing out all plastic packaging and swapping in reusable dust bags.

The Mini Weighted Blanket

One way to get better sleep is to upgrade your bedding, but if you'd rather not replace your entire set a fantastic option is this mini weighted blanket. Made from chemical-free 100% cotton, it's soft on your skin. Filled with glass microbeads, it's comforting as heck. All-natural dye and a breathable design gives you pure coziness without the night (or nap) sweats—InStyle called it the "best weighted blanket for hot sleepers." This 60" x 40" blanket makes a delightful gift for anyone looking to really relax, thanks to its 9-pound weight that provides deep pressure stimulation. Unsurprisingly, it would be a pretty nice treat for yourself, too. Support a woman-owned brand when you pick up a mini weighted blanket in your choice of colors for $126 (reg. $149).
