It’s Small Business Saturday! I am a big advocate for to shopping small + supporting local… and it’s been a particularly tough year for business owners to navigate with the pandemic causing everyone to shift gears on how they operate. I’ve been sourcing most of the items on my holiday gift list by shopping small, and I encourage you to do the same.

I also want to point out that I realize many people are not in a position to shell out extra money this holiday season… but you can still support small and local businesses without spending a dime. You can follow, like and engage with them on social media, or even share the deals they’re offering on your Instagram stories. Word-of-mouth goes a long way!
Thanks for shopping small + supporting local. Let me know if there are any other businesses I should check out in the comments and as always, many thanks for being here.
Cheers,
