2020 Small Business Holiday Gift Guide

FOR MANY REASONS, THE HOLIDAYS CAN BE A STRESSFUL TIME, AND THROW IN A PANDEMIC AND IT MAKES IT EVEN MORE OF A STRESSFUL TIME. I WANTED TO DO MY SHOPPING DIFFERENT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON AND SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES.With the holiday season now in full swing, it's more important than ever to keep our small businesses top of mind when tackling our shopping lists.

The most important part of supporting small businesses is to shop with love and care, remembering that there are real humans behind each store/product.

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO SENT ME THEIR SMALL BUSINESS TO MAKE THIS LIST THE BEST WITH A VARIETY OF AMAZING THINGS FOR everyone.

hope you enjoy xoxo

Natural Bath and body care

Brown Sugar Beauty By Tiffany's mission is to remind us all how essential self care is. Regardless of our daily routines, past or current traumatic experiences, it is important to take time out of your day and allow yourself time to regroup. Replenish your thoughts and gather peace of mind, do so while using products hand crafted by a survivor herself. I'm grateful that my story did not end, instead my life turned into a series. While I'm in the never ending series of healing I bring to you wellness in the peace of your home. 

For anyone battling depression, anxiety, low self esteem, postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, etc. , your diagnosis does not define YOU. Be proud of your journey.

“Warren Tales has been peddling puns since 2013, and with 7 Louie Award nominations (and counting), we're the Leonardo DiCaprio of the greeting card world. In every way, this job is an absolute dream: I make funny cards, work with incredible people, and travel the world being a huge nerd.

Upcycled leather earrings

Inspired by nature's color palette, all Pink Moon designs are made with upcycled materials such as scrap leather or re-purposed suede. Each pair is designed, cut and painted by me, Brooke. As such, each pair carries subtle differences and is unique in its own way. The selection is constantly evolving with the change of seasons, materials, and as I stumble across new sources of inspiration.

6. Digital Family Portraits

“I am a Dental Hygienist turned stay at home mom. As a wife to an active duty service member, and Mom to the spunkiest one year old, I needed to find something that filled my cup and sparked creativity. Drawing these digital family portraits brings me so much joy! Whether it’s your favorite image from your wedding, or your latest family photo, I would love to help recreate it in a fun and whimsical way!”
