Small Shop Holiday Gift Guide
It’s officially my favorite month of the year! I’m so excited to share all of my favorite small shops and my favorite products of theirs with you. Through all the COVID craziness of 2020, I did a lot of shopping online and found so many small shops that deserve ALL the recognition.
Some of my favorite small shop products are straw toppers and cup cozies. It’s amazing how much happiness a little sparkle on your cup can bring you! I have 3 cozies (and more on their way!) from Once Upon a Cozy (ig + etsy: @onceuponacozy). All of her cozies are so well made and came in the nicest packaging to preserve them in the mail. They’re perfect for iced or hot drinks! I have too many straw toppers to count. As silly as it sounds, they make me so happy when I see them on top of my pink drink! I grab all of mine from The Fawn Doe (ig: @thefawndoe // www.shoptfd.com) and Dainty Daydreams Co (ig: @daintydaydreamsco // etsy: daintydaydreamsstore).
I have been buying Knotties for years now and don’t plan on stopping any time soon! I have over 40 and wear them almost daily. They’re the perfect addition to any outfit and are the best for keeping your hair out of your face during a good workout. There are always new patterns coming out and you can even customize a bulk order with your own fabric! Alyssa started making her headbands with buttons on the sides so that your mask can hook onto them and give your ears a break. If you plan on buying any knotties, make sure to join her rewards program! Once you get 100 reward points, you get a free knottie! // (ig: @knotties // www.shopknotties.com)
Last, but not least, you NEED a custom headband from Shop She’s American. Robin customizes every piece of the headbands, from the color of the fabric, all the way to the beads/pearls that you want on top. If you love Lele Sadoughi headbands, you’ll love these (plus they’re a lot more budget friendly!). I ordered the most beautiful pink headband with pearls for my birthday and I seriously never want to take it off! I have my eye on her hazelnut cozy headband next :) // (ig: @shopshesamerican - dm to order).
