I think it goes with out saying that this year especially, small businesses are relying on the support of their customers to shop intimately this Holiday season. There is something extra special about small women owned, and family owned businesses. They truly put their heart into their work, as their livelihood directly supports themselves and their loved ones. I personally find that their products are almost always more unique, carefully designed, and better quality that commercial companies as they are curated and made with love. As I am planning to shop small (online) today, which is so important to do, I thought I would put together a quick list of all the shops and businesses that I love to shop, that offer amazing gifts for everyone on your holiday list.
This shop is woman owned & run and offers beautifully designed and handcrafted apparel and home accessories. If you love monograms, a stop at this site is a must. Their monogramed robe would make an amazing gift for sisters, Moms, and Mother in Laws.
My friend Charlotte hand makes the sweetest bows. Her holiday offerings this year are absolutely adorable, and she is amazing at customizing orders as well. Check her out at holamamabowtique.com
Gorgeous and fun needlepoint kits and more. A grandmillennial’s dream. I purchased my first kit from Jessica when I was a week overdue with my youngest daughter, and she took the time to sit down and teach me the art of needlepointing. She is so sweet and patient, and her canvas offerings are so fun!
The softest, coziest blankets for everyone on your shopping list. I just ordered my 5 year old daughter a mini sized heart blanket, as she is the snuggliest soul I know, and I feel like this may be one of her top, most utilized presents this year. They are offering 10% off everything today with code BLACKFRIDAY10 at checkout.
This shop is full of fun and festive home decor, entertaining must haves, and hand designed apparel. I love their custom cups, napkins, and fun seasonal items.

She is open and honest in sharing details about her amazing home and family, and she has the best taste. Just recently she launched a new instagram page, @shoppinkclutch where she sells fantastic vintage finds. If you appreciate a great find, then so many of her sale pieces would make amazing gifts for like-minded friends this this holiday season.
Ginger jar ornaments, pink staffordshire dogs, nutcracker sneakers….you will find all this and more on Kristel’s site. Her sneakers are so comfy and cute (I have a pink staffie pair, they run true to size), and her stickers and gift tags are perfectly sized for stocking stuffers or ornaments.

I really do think that the best, most heartfelt, and personal gifts come from small businesses. I will be shopping small businesses tonight and into the rest of the holiday season, and I urge you to do the same. Especially this year! Happy shopping, and good luck crossing off all those names on your list!
