Small Business Saturday

Felt Finger Puppets Sewing Pattern | $4

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!

Oud Noir Candle | $69

I have this candle, and I would be absolutely blown away if somebody gifted this to me. There are so many other cute gifts for the home from this shop.

Christmas Wrapping Kit | $50

I found this Merry Market shop from a TikTok that sells wrapping paper kits! Despite being sort of meta to gift wrapping paper, I actually think it's something super practical. OR, you could buy it to use yourself.

Brass Pepper Mill 10" | $138

Chris exclusively uses a pepper grinder when he cooks. Freshly ground pepper will always be better than pepper flakes, and this mill is the perfect grinder for the job, plus it makes for a great gift.

Dots Turkish Terry Towel Bundle | $250

When we put kitchen towels to the test, this was one of the winners, and we're big fans of all of Olive & Linen's Turkish towels.

Baby Footed Sleeper | $23

Nobody has cuter Christmas pajamas than Hanna Andersson. Get a pair for the whole family and unwrap them on Christmas Eve!

Lip Balm 10-Pack | $55

Nobody does lip balm better than Poppy & Pout! Gift the whole set of 10, or gift them to your 10 favorite people!

Running Hare Paint By Number Kit | $40

This paint-by-number shop is the most sophisticated I’ve ever seen. They have stunning motifs in muted palettes, and I love the idea of gifting a project resulting in owning original art.

Large Luxury Boucle Dog Bed | $244

For some reason, finding quality dog products that don't clash with the home aesthetic is harder than you'd think, but not anymore! Cricket graduated from her kennel and is officially sleeping in this boucle bed, and she couldn't be happier.

Antique Brass Bells (set of 3) | $105

House of Jade has become one of my favorite small shops. I added these brass bells to my Christmas decor, and I'm so obsessed with them.

Vivienne Green CLJ x Wallicase | $45

If you're surprising your loved ones with a phone, remember to snag them a phone case from our favorite Walli Cases.

Forest Etchings | $29

We have these prints in the guest house, and we get compliments on them all the time. You get two for the price of $29, and if you really want to make somebody's day, frame them before you gift them.

Keshi Pearl Nugget Huggies | $22

Have you ever seen such a pretty pair of pearl earrings?? There are so many other cute pieces to choose from, perfect for gifting to your favorite person.

Wooden Toy Set | $95

I wish my kids were small again so that I could gift them this wooden climbing set. This will keep your little ones busy for hours.

Custom Script Mini Felt Pennant | $20

I'm a big fan of pennants, and this shop has such cute ones that you can customize and gift to a loved one.

Our Bucket List Adventure | $17

We're big fans of Korie Herold, the creator of this book and our favorite Christmas Memory Book. Gift this heirloom-quality book to any married couple so they can keep track of their life goals and memories.
