We try our best to shop small and local for gifts when we can, but shopping small businesses outside of our local area is my second choice! The gifts that we have given previously from small businesses, hand-made items especially, have always been our family’s favorite. The combination of the thoughtfulness of the gift giver, and the effort poured in by the maker makes the gift so special! Here is my roundup of gifts from small businesses.
- A delicious lemonade gift bundle from Me and the Bees, a business launched by Mikaila Ulmer when she was 5 years old that helps to save the honeybees.
- A set of spices from Balanced Bites would be perfect for the foodie in your life. Diane’s spice blends are the perfect addition to any meal. Recently she started to add granola and infused sugars to her shop, too!
- This gorgeous hand made wood stand would be perfect for holding a watch and jewelry in a beautiful display.
- These foodie dice seem like a great way to solve the “what’s for dinner” debate!
- Janery makes super chic dog and cat beds. They’re also making some beautiful (and highly recommended!) face masks for adults and kids!
- Cook Once Eat All Week is the perfect gift for those in your life who want a good meal on the table during the week but are short on time.
- A bundle of handmade bath & skincare items is always a good gift, and this one from Honeymilk looks so lovely!
- Natalie Rae’s shop has gorgeous items like this tote bag, handmade with repurposed fabrics from the Hmong Women of North Vietnam.
