2021 Gift Guide: Gifts From Our Favorite Small Businesses

November 27, 2021

It's Small Business Saturday! A great day to get out and support and shop your favorite local small businesses!! Below, we've rounded up a few gift ideas from our favorites to gift and receive and some that are on our wishlist!

1. Linen Apron $42 An apron to use every day but to also make the everyday feel more special.

2. Donut Necklace $49 A necklace that looks good enough to eat, and they'll feel so special wearing around their neck.

3. Wooden Toy Camera $65 The perfect heirloom toy for the budding photographer.

4. Cheese Board $59 The most charming board that will easily double as decor on their backsplash.

5. Knit Kitten $32 This little baby cuddle kitten is going to go everywhere with them.

6. Positive Vibrations Blanket $118 One of my favorite throws I own. Most of our team ended up getting one, too.

7. Rust Backpack $60 This year, we got each of our girls one of these backpacks and matching duffels and it makes road trips and traveling a breeze! They use these as their carry-ons wherever we go. The storage options and quality are incredible.

8. Turkish Towel Robe $120 The coziest hooded robe in just the right length.

9. Silhouette Locket $115 A locket is a gift that almost always needs to be gifted with kleenex as well.

10. Ceramic Baking Dish $162 Years ago, we met the maker of these incredible ceramic. They are so beautiful, I could barely believe they could all be put in the oven!! Needless to say, our prized casserole pan.

11. Skin Bae $52 I gave this to all of my friends last Christmas. It has changed my skin!! All natural. Leaves it glowy and clear.

12. Canopy $295 (shhh...I got one of these for Faye as her big gift!) Months ago, I shared these beautiful canopies in a Casual Friday and I haven't stopped thinking about building a room around one. Love supporting this beautiful, small business and can't wait to have one of their canopies in our home!

13. Keepsake Box $127 So your mom can get all those special photos and letters out of the tupperware bin.

14. Frasier Fir Candle $34 My favorite candle for the season.

15. Oxford Pennant $200 Oxford has the best pennants hands down, this vintage one is one of a kind and framed if you want even more bonus points.

16. Poppy & Pout Lip Balm $68 The 10 pack made Oprah's favorite things this year because it's that great, but I've been low-key putting them in stockings for years.

17. Camont Umbrella $38 A beautiful, unique umbrella like this would be one of the most memorable and treasured gifts.

  1. I have the coin necklace pictured at #9 from a family print shop and it is my FAVORITE piece of jewelry! I also have their silhouette print and Christmas ornament and everything that comes from that shop is such a beautiful quality gift. I received my necklace for Mother’s Day and cried because it was so special.

The Best Of September 2024

Can you believe that September has already come and gone? This time of year is my absolute favorite and we've been busy finishing up house projects (the mudroom is officially checked off the 2024 project list!) and launching two new product lines!

12 Tips for How to Host and Make Your Guests Feel Completely at Ease

I recently got a question from a commenter who asked me how I entertain at home to make guests feel at ease. This question came at a great time since fall can be a natural hosting season from watch parties (there's football...or The Bach) to Thanksgiving. The truth is — Chris and I really *enjoy* […]
