Small Business Gift Guide 2020
Remember when I did these every year? The past couple of years have been crazy busy (says every mom I’ve ever known) but this year I committed to making time for these guides – and I forgot how fun they are to curate. Small businesses need our support, especially this year. We prioritize shopping small and sustainable as much as possible over big box stores, but the holidays are a great opportunity to really be intentional. This season can literally make or break a small business.
Those featured here are places I really do shop - items I really do own and love. Nothing is affiliated or sponsored. They’re made, curated, or written mostly by women (there are some rad dudes in there too!) and I know it would make their year to be supported by you.
This year has been financially burdensome for so many people so if this is not the year to invest in gifts, remember that stuff is just stuff. I hope this guide simply inspires you or introduces you to a few new shops you’ll be excited to support when the time is right.
Happy holidays!
