Now is the time more than ever to show our favorite small businesses just how much we love what they do. I happen to have a number of dear friends who own small businesses & I see the effort, time & labor that goes into keeping their businesses afloat. With one of the toughest years to date on small businesses across the globe, what a better time to support them & their businesses by grabbing a few holiday gifts from their shops? I went ahead & rounded up a few of my top picks from some of my favorite small business owners, while discovering a few new small businesses to support along the way:

1. Customized Book Stack: My friend Shannon is the face and creative behind her store Forever June Co. She is hands down one of the craftiest, most talented women I have known. I have a customized book stack with all of our names on it: JD, Teddy, Livvy, Chloe, Louis & Mason. Makes a great addition to any home.
2. Carbivore Graphic Tee: Who doesn’t love a funny graphic tee? I feel like so many of us can relate to this, especially around the holiday season.
3. Mama Bear Graphic Sweatshirt: One of my favorite things to own as a mom are anything and everything that say MAMA. This one is way too cute & from the same shop as the Carbivore tee. This one is on my wishlist.
4. Customized cutting board: I actually have TWO options from two different shops! If you want something more simple, I love the one in the collage itself listed HERE. If you want to add a customized recipe onto a cutting board, check out this shop HERE.
5. Patterned Rolling Pin: I know what I’m getting my mama! Perfect for cookie making and decorative baking toppings.
6. Cocoa Button Up Sherpa Jacket: One of my absolute FAVORITE small businesses to shop at! She has some of the cutest selection of clothing all at extremely affordable price points. Use code “THEODORA15” for an additional 15% off of your purchase!
7. Gotta Have It Tunic: I am SO excited for this piece to come in! Absolutely love this brand new mother daughter owned boutique by my friend Jess. She has all affordable & practical pieces for everyday wear. Use code “TEDDY20” to get 20% off of this and the entire website!
8. Personalized Face Mug: I bought these for my parents last Christmas and they are the mugs they use EVERY SINGLE DAY, lol. I am requesting one for myself this Christmas 😉 You can get your kids, your husband, boyfriend, fiance, wife, girlfriend, dog, cat, etc on it. There is also a travel mug version HERE.
9. Leopard Starbucks Reusable Tumbler: I have about four of these tumblers from this specific shop & I am obsessed! They have held up so well over the last year and a half and not a single scratch or peeling from the vinyl. She has so many patterns and options to choose from!
10. Customized Apron: If you know someone who loves cooking / baking as much as I do, this one is adorable.
11. Chunky Knit Blanket: I seriously don’t know who wouldn’t love this as a gift. So many beautiful colors to choose from.
12. Custom Name necklace: I have one with Livvy’s name on it & it’s one of the most sentimental pieces I own.
13. Customized Insulated Water Bottle: I’m the girl that always has a water bottle on hand in my diaper backpack. This one is cute and comes in a number of fun colors & styles to choose from.
14. Customized Family Ornament: How fun is this to give as a gift?! I think this would be perfect for newly weds, new parents, or even for your own family.
15. Chain & Herringbone Layered necklaces: I have the herringbone necklace from Forever June Co. & it is one of my most worn accessories along with my butterfly necklace from there HERE. These necklaces do NOT tarnish & are surprisingly extremely affordable. Grab this bundle for the holiday season.
16. The Harley Huggie Earrings: Also a favorite of mine from Forever June Co. These are on my personal wishlist this season 😉

Hope you love these small businesses as much as I do!
