Veteran Owned Businesses Gift Guide

Each year Veterans Day comes around on November 11 to honor all the veterans for their service and sacrifices. Let's recognize them and thank the military service women and men who have given so much security to our nation.

Veteran Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship (V-WISE) was created to empower women veterans and military spouses/partners to find their passion and learn the business savvy skills necessary to turn an idea or start-up into a growing venture.

Plus! Smart&Sexy is helping this initiative by supporting them this month. For every bra or panty sold, Smart&Sexy will donate a $1* for every purchase in the month of November up to $15,000.

The winners of our #VWISEBeBoldContest were given to women #veteran and #militaryspouse business owners that posted on their Instagram account showing their business & you all voted for them by liking their post. The post with the most likes is our 1st prize winner and 2nd runner up! Congrats ladies.
