Gifts that Support Small Businesses

Happy Small Business Saturday! This year I made a conscious effort to be better about shopping at and supporting small, women-owned and run and Black owned businesses. Keeping our small and local businesses running is so important, now more than ever, and its our job as friends to spread the word and share all we can about the small shops we love!

Today I figured I’d highlight a few that have brought me joy and may not be listed in other places. I hope you take the time to support them today and every day!

1. Love Offering Print – Josefina is one of my favorite follows (you can find her @loveoffering) and her words have helped me through some really tough times. A fellow infertility warrior and artist, she creates everything from paintings and notebooks to caligraphy courses and her recently released self care planners. Give her a follow and browse her shop – her work inspires, nurtures and encourages and would be a welcome gift to many! | Free shipping through December 1 with code SHOPSMALL20

2. Custom Painting – Suze Newbury is a talented expressionist painter – she is the genius behind my logo and is a dear and talented friend. Fun Fact: she is also Claire’s mom! She does custom watercolors and and acrylic and will do an 8×10 acrylic on board for $75 from a photograph you send! Reach out to her @suzenewburyart on instagram for more details!

3. Stoneware Muffin Pan – I have and love this very piece and a classic round baker from Bennington Potters in Vermont. I featured their trigger mug on my wishlist too! Their designs are darling and they have so many glazes to choose from. Plus, everything is handmade at their Potters Yard in Bennington, VT. | Free gifts with purchase through the holiday season

4. Beautycounter Overnight Resurfacing Peel – Did you know that Purely Nora and Beautycounter are my side businesses?

7. Neely and Chloe Kettle Bag in Croc – I adore Neely and Chloe, a sister owned and run shop with chic and sophisticated designs, and was so excited to try something from their collection!

They use the freshest ingredients (non-GMO, no added sugar, palm oils or gluten) and have the best combos! My favorites are the peanut/almond blends Adirondack Jack (almonds, peanuts, cranberries, flax and sunflower seeds) and Adirondack Jill (almonds, peanuts, blueberries, chia and pepitas). | Orders $49+ get free shipping

14. Small Packages Gift Box – One of my all time favorite companies, Small Packages is dedicated to reducing the loneliness epidemic one gift box at. time. These aren’t just any pear filled cheesy gift box, they are oh-so chic and expertly curated with items largely from other small businesses and have themes perfect for any and every occasion. I love this idea because I always try to put things like this together myself, but Small Packages takes the work out of it and ships everything together in a beautiful box with a handwritten note. I was gifted their Women in Food Box and ended up snacking on the goodies and using them on a cheese board! Other favorite boxes include Holiday Hygge and Self Care. | Free Shipping on orders of $100+, use code THANKSNORA for 10% off
