15 Small Businesses to Shop This Holiday Season – Holiday Gift Guide 2021

October 26, 2021 · In: Gift Guides, Lifestyle

Welcome to another holiday gift guide! Today’s gift guide will be focused on small businesses. While my previous gift guides have featured products from small businesses, with this post I am sharing a variety of small businesses for you all to shop at this holiday season – which I am so excited about!

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know how important small businesses are to me, and supporting them during the holiday season (especially in today’s world) is so important. This can be a great time to discover new businesses that you can support not only during the holidays, but all year round.

Check out the businesses below and see what they have to offer!

Bits & Bows

Bits & Bows is a small business based out of Pittsburgh and they sell the most darling baseball hats. These hats have detachable bows on the back, allowing you to completely customize the piece. They offer solid-colored hats as well as a selection of hats with fun embroidered designs – I got the anchor hat for my upcoming cruise. This would be such a fun gift idea, and a hat with a few bows would even make a great stocking stuffer!

Caloosa WaterWear

If you’ve been here a while, you’ve heard me mention Caloosa WaterWear! In fact, the owner Rebecca was my first guest on my podcast – be sure to listen in if you haven’t already. Caloosa offers tons of fun performance gear for those who love living life on the water. They also offer some home items like dish towels and mugs that make perfect gifts! And be sure to check out their holiday collection for fun gift items like ornaments and more.

Made By Maddie Designs

Made by Maddie Designs is based out of Oklahoma City and offers the most dreamy jewelry pieces. These would make a great holiday gift for the girly girl on your list. Also, if you’re a bride-to-be, consider shopping with her for you and your bridesmaids!

ChappyWrap

ChappyWrap is the perfect holiday gift that can be appreciated year-round! These are the SOFTEST yet heavy-duty blankets out there. They’ve even received an award from Good Housekeeping! These are perfect for families, people who love boating, the soccer mom, grandparents, and everyone in between.

Bow & Sprig

I recently discovered Bow & Sprig on Instagram and I am obsessed! They have the most aesthetic home pieces; jewelry stands, trays, and tissue box covers. This is definitely going to be on my wish list – I just need to decide which fabulous pattern option I want!

The Nue Look At Home

I had to plug the store I work at, The Nue Look At Home! While we mainly do interior decor and home products, we are also getting tons of fun gifts in for the holiday season. But who also doesn’t love new pieces for their home? Check out great coffee table books, Italian cotton loungewear, fun cocktail accessories, and more on their website!

Dudley Stephens

If you’re looking to gift someone the perfect winter staple – Dudley Stephens is the place to go! They offer the highest quality fleece in classic styled tops and more. I have a few and love them, and highly recommend them!

Newport Needlepoint

For all of my needlepoint lovers, Newport Needlepoint has the cutest accessories featuring intricate needlepoint work. Cuff bracelets, headbands, hats, and more – there are designs for everyone! Such a unique and hard-to-find gift. Some of my personal favorites are the ginger jar pieces and the blue check headband. Newport Needlepoint was kind enough go give me a discount code for you all to use as well – use code NORTHERNPREP20 for 20% off everything!

Jefferson Lane

If you’re looking to gift a beautiful custom cashmere piece, check out Jefferson Lane. They have amazing sweaters for adults and kids – as well as other great clothing and accessories. Each piece is hand embroidered with care.

Pamela Munson

You all know my love for straw bags, and Pamela Munson’s are no exception! These are the most gorgeous pieces and would make a fabulous gift. Also, check out her hats and other products!

Emily O. and Bows

You may recognize Emily O. and Bows from Instagram and TikTok, but she also has a great line of merchandise online! She has some fun clothing and accessories as well as great home pieces. Plus, she is releasing a holiday line soon so stay tuned!

Keffalas Designs

Of course, I had to give a plug for my sister’s store, Keffalas Designs! She offers a ton of great items for gifts. From clothing from brands like Simply Southern, to gift items from Lilly Pulitzer, and even items made in the USA and veteran-owned businesses! She even offers customized items like engraved stainless steel tumblers and lasered wooden products. Needless to say, there is something for everyone.

Statement Home

The perfect gift for the hostess! Statement Home created the Jack of All Trays – with interchangeable inserts for every occasion. This changes the game for entertaining and it is definitely something on my wish list!

Estelle Colored Glass

This beautiful, handblown glassware has made its way into West Elm and Tuckernuck, plus has been featured on Hoda & Jenna, in The Oprah Magazine, and more. But you can see all of their offerings on their website, including champagne glasses, cake stands, and more. There are countless color options, making it the perfect gift for every home.

Sincerely, C Paper Co.

Custom stationery is the perfect holiday gift for students, business owners, grandparents, and everyone in between. Sincerely, C has a variety of designs for everyone’s taste. I’ve purchased stationery from them in the past and absolutely love it!

I hope you all enjoyed this round up of small businesses to check out this holiday season. There are so many small businesses out there, so do some research of your own! Check out Etsy, Instagram, and local vendor shows in your area to discover new businesses – or shop small businesses not in your area online.

Cheers!

xoxo

Officially in the third trimester🤰🏻💕 When Officially in the third trimester🤰🏻💕
When I found out I was pregnant this time around I was scared to take weekly pictures after losing our first baby girl last year. So at 12 weeks Grant finally convinced me, and while I don’t *love* the way I look I know one day I’ll be so thankful to have these📸 If I only get to experience pregnancy once in its entirety, I want to have no regrets - and these photos are just one step of that. Experiencing infertility and loss makes you look at pregnancy in a different way, and it’s not something I want to take for granted💖

#thirdtrimester #rainbowbaby #pregnancyreels
#SecretDeoPartner Secret Clinical has been my go-t #SecretDeoPartner Secret Clinical has been my go-to for years, and I’m so glad it’s been there for all the stresses pregnancy has brought! It’s the perfect first step of my morning routine to give me 100-hour sweat and odor protection @secretdeodorant #pregnancytips #pregnancyroutine #secondtrimester 
I could literally sit and talk about baby names fo I could literally sit and talk about baby names for hours👶🏻💕 Let me know if you have any guesses for baby girl👀🎀 #babynames #babygirlnames #pregnancyreels
Babymoon👶🏻🌙 The destination for this trip Babymoon👶🏻🌙
The destination for this trip changed multiple times - initially we were going to Kiawah, then the Finger Lakes, and here is where we ended up😅 After not being able to go to the Finger Lakes a few weeks ago due to Canada wildfires we decided a few days in the sunshine state wouldn’t hurt☀️ #babymoon #maternityfashion #hillhouse 

Loving this swimsuit combo - maternity suit from @amazonfashion and the best coverup from @hillhouse (wearing a M and more than big enough for the bump!) 

🌸🌸🌸

The goal of the trip: lay by the pool & eat😅

I had way too many @uncrustables thanks to them being unlimited in the club lounge😅
