Holiday Gift Guide | Small Business Saturday

November 26, 2022

It's Small Business Saturday! After a wild Black Friday yesterday, we wanted to give highlight some of our favorite small businesses with some gift ideas for your friends, your kids, or even yourself!

There could not be a cuter, handmade serving platter! The edging is so charming, and this would make a great gift for any family or friend.

I have this stunning coin necklace, and I have received so many compliments about it! This whole shop is having a 30% off sale right now so grab something for your girlfriends, or yourself!

I keep this Wit & Delight notepad at my desk, and it keeps me focused and on track. The design is so classy, and I think it would make an incredible gift for that impressively organized friend!

There's nothing more meaningful than a personalized gift! Get this handmade leather passport holder for the wanderlust traveler in your life!

5. Lip Tint Trio $39

Nobody does lip balm better than Poppy & Pout, and this tinted lip balm made it on "Oprah's Favorite Things" list!

There's no better time than the Holidays to gift an heirloom toy that your kids and grandkids, and great-grandkids can play with.

Gift this mini measuring tape to the person in your life that's always needing one handy! This can fit on a keychain or be stored in a purse, and it's so, so cute.

This set comes with a printed matchbox, noir santal candle, and roman candle snuffer for a gift that's sure to make anybody happy.

I've mentioned how much I love Olive & Linen for their Turkish towels, and this robe holds up to the brand's quality! It's so soft and luxurious. Would make a great gift for parents or in-laws!

You have got to be kidding me with these felt finger puppets! This is actually a PDF pattern, so if you're crafty and you want to gift something adorable and personalized to a little tot, this is perfect for that!

11. Laptop Case $125

Chris and I are big fans of Andar! I've never had a laptop case until this one, and I'm officially converted. This leather laptop case is absolutely stunning, as are their wallets and AirPod cases.

You cannot go wrong with gifting tapered candlesticks, especially adorable twisted ones like these!

These bread boards are crafted with reclaimed vintage cheese boards, and I can't think of anything more charming to gift.

This handmade brass ornament is sure to look good on anybody's tree this Holiday season!

The girls have so many of these sweet, sweet dolls! They come with their own birthday, personality, and favorite quote that kids love! And for every ethically produced, hand-knit doll purchased, ten meals are provided to children in need.

These paint-by-numbers kits are so incredibly darling. Our 12-year-old Greta loves doing these, and I think there's no better way to keep kids busy for hours on end.

I've been heating up and using this neck wrap at night, and it's been so incredibly soothing and relaxing. Can't think of a better gift for anybody on your list!

The Fisherman Aesthetic that Is Making Waves

I haven't released my official 2025 trend predictions, but the fisherman aesthetic is one of the early styles of the year that has completely enraptured me. This trend is a departure from everyone's favorite coastal grandma look, which features Nancy Meyer-inspired whites, khakis, and soft blues. This aesthetic is your Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic […]

Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup (A Twist on Singapore Noodles) | Grain-Free & Dairy-Free

This is the soup I want when I'm feeling on the verge of "under the weather"—not quite sick, but the cold outside is draining me a little bit. There's the feeling that you could get sick. That's when you want a spicy soup. I like this chicken noodle soup with the flavors of Singapore noodles: […]
