Some of my other gift guides include a few items from small businesses, but I wanted to make a guide that is specifically dedicated to small businesses. Especially if you’re being conscious of shopping small this holiday season!
Some of these gifts you’ll be able to find on my shop page, however, some will only be in this post since many small businesses don’t utilize affiliate links.
IRL friends, proceed with caution, you may or may not see a gift on here that’s headed your way in December!

1 & 2: Sea Marie Designs
I love Sea Marie Designs! They have the most gorgeous headbands and jewelry for reasonable prices. A great gift for any trendy gals on your list!
3. Lettrefina
I have yet to order my own monogrammed pillow (so many choices!) but this Etsy shop makes STUNNING monogrammed shams and bedding. On the pricier side, but would be such a thoughtful gift for someone you know well enough to pick out a monogram style they’ll love!
4. Annie King Designs
Annie makes the cutest beaded bracelets! I wear mine all the time. And she has great customer service. Would be a great gift, and she even makes kids sizes!
5. Southern Bungalow Co.
These candles are nontoxic and smell amazing! Adding the Fraiser Fir scent to my cart ASAP. Southern Bungalow Co. also offers a ton of different jars to hold your candle that can be reused after, so it’s like two gifts in one! Also, the owner is the absolute sweetest!
6. The Tiny Tassel
This is the small business to shop for anyone with fun, colorful style! They have amazing earrings. clothes, you name it! I love following their account on IG because Mimi is so sweet and I love her behind the scenes. Her site is 20% off today!
7. Enewton
These are my bracelets I wear every single day! My friends introduced me to this brand, and I have given so many gifts from their bracelets to their necklaces. The best part of these specific bracelets is you can sleep, shower, and sweat in them without worry! Hands down one of my favorite brands for simple, stunning jewelry. And everything is 30% off right now!
8. Skinspired by jess
Jess reached out to me during quarantine and asked if she could send me her Facial in a Box – I said yes and it was the greatest! It even has enough product for two facials. My skin drastically improved afterwards, and I’m not just saying that. She is also offering special Holiday Gift Boxes this season! Because many estheticians are unable to work right now, this is a great way to support them while treating someone on your list!
9. Tal & bert
For any friends who love plants and succulents, these geode vessels and planters are perfect! You can get them empty, with a succulent, or as a candle. They’re so pretty and come in a bunch of colors!
10. old line oysters
Old Line Oysters makes the most beautiful monogrammed oyster shells (perfect as a ring dish) and jewelry! And each purchase goes towards Bay Restoration which is amazing. Rachel, the owner, is so kind and will work with you to get the monogram just right! She also sent me these beautiful pearl earrings that I love so much, and would make a perfect gift!
11. The Healing Place apothecary
I’ve mentioned this Oakland, CA based brand before, and I truly love their products. My favorite is their pit scrub, so probably only a good gift if you know someone well!! But they make tons of other amazing, natural body and skin care to choose from, and it’s all 20% off now!
12. The luxe gift co.
I got this recipe book to put all my mom’s recipes in a year or two ago, and I love it! Not only is it adorable, but very meaningful too. A great gift if you have recipes you want to share or pass down to friends and family! This Etsy shop also makes the cutest personalized notebooks, phone cases, etc.
13. Oventure
I’ve had my Oventure key ring forever (it could be time for a new one…) and I love it so much. It makes it so easy to grab your keys without your hands being full. Another great gift for a college student! And 25% off today.
Local Restaurant gift cards (not pictured)
Another idea that would be great for anyone on your list is a gift card to their favorite local restaurant! That way they can get takeout if they don’t feel like cooking post-holidays or you can grab a meal with them when it’s safe to do so. It’s a great way to support local businesses during the pandemic, even if you’re not quite ready to eat out yet. If you’re in the East Bay Area, I’d recommend Rêve Bistro, Tutu’s, or Pizza Antica 🙂
