Alright guys, y’all read the title and you know exactly what I’m about to say – 2020 has been ruthless to our small business friends. While I always try to incorporate small business into my holiday shopping, this year is especially important. Target, Walmart, Amazon – they don’t need your money. And quite frankly, their items are not as cute or as unique as the small businesses on this list!!

While I’m sure there will be one or two items I couldn’t help myself from picking up at one of the big stores, you better believe 95% of my holiday presents this year will be from small businesses!

I split this guide into 3 categories: For Her, For the Littles & Home Goods!

I hope you guys enjoy, and let me know if you end up getting anything on this list!!

Brooke Michelle Print Shop y’all saw it here first!! LOL funny story, I follow Brooke on Instagram (she’s an amazing boho photographer in Maryland) and remembered she had mentioned opening up a print shop. I could not find it on her site anywhere, so I messaged her – and turns out the shop had actually not opened yet, I’m just a stalker and somehow remembered this from months ago!! BUT she was nice enough to give me the link, so RUUNNN and grab some prints before she opens to the public! She has prints, large prints & canvas prints ranging from 4in x 6in all the way to 24in x 36in! A few of my favorites:
