Hello everyone,

I am so excited to be bringing you my Small Business Gift Guide. This year, and especially this Christmas season Small businesses are the way to go. All of the companies that I have included in this post have amazing products that would make perfect gifts and stocking stuffers. They are run by amazing people who truly have passion for what they create. I have included everything from beauty products to scrunchies, to check everyone off your list. What I love most about these gift ideas is that you are able to get unique, and in most cases personalized items for your love ones, showing that you put extra thought into their gifts and they will have an item that they will cherish forever. Additionally, you are able to support and try products from a small business run by people who truly put love into everything they create.
