It’s finally that time of year….my favorite holiday! Who is ready for the upcoming holiday season?
I know this year will look a little different for some, but let’s try and spread some holiday cheer and end 2020 on a good note. I definitely want to make more of an effort to support small business this year (they need it now more than ever). With businesses shutting down left & right, we need to give as much business as we can to our local small retailers.
Here is my gift guide for exceptional items from small businesses I have come to love. I have almost all of these items & a few are on my wishlist!
Almost all retailers will ship countrywide, just shoot them an email if you don’t see a shipping option on their site. I will be rolling out more guides next week with more items from small businesses.

The Gunnar Leather tray is from one of my favorite home decor sites (& owned by one of my absolute best friends). This tray is handmade by women in Senegal & made from sweet grass.
The Simplified Planner is the ONLY planner I will use. I just bought this pink striped one for 2021 & can’t wait to use it! A great gift for the organized obsessed person in your life. Other color options available.
Custom jewelry is always a good idea. Summer Street Studio made this stunning piece for me & I get so many compliments on it. Contact Paula to create a piece for that special someone in your life.
Who doesn’t love a bath bomb? Browne & Co. sells these adorable bath bomb gift sets (only $14!). This cute little gift shop sells the best hostess gifts, just because gifts & they even have sweet treats!
My favorite faux fur throw EVER! And now they’re available to purchase at DesignDot. A little on the pricey side, but it is SO worth it. I use my throw all year round & it makes the perfect present.
One of my favorite candles this season- the Ellsworth candle from Preston Konrad Home. With notes of grapefruit, sandalwood & cardamom- this scent is warm, inviting & not overpowering.
Scents & Feel is one of my favorite places to go for housewarming gifts. They sell high quality Turkish towels, throws, olive wood serving pieces & hand blown glassware. Something for everyone on your list & all at great prices!
Another cozy throw for the season! We actually gifted everyone who attended our wedding one of these throws. They are super soft & feel like cashmere.
Personalized stationery is EVERYTHING! Alex & I ordered this exact style for our wedding thank you cards. Salt & Citrus Co. has tons of designs to choose from & the quality is great.
