Small Business Saturday Sales and Gift Ideas
One of the best things we can do during the holidays is to shop locally and shop small. I don’t know about you, but I love discovering new small businesses on Instagram. Those targeted ads get me every time. I seriously once bought lobster earrings off an IG ad. Sorry, getting sidetracked. As I mentioned in my Black Friday post, this is the busiest shopping season of the entire year. And, these businesses need it. It’s been such a rough year. Today, I’m sharing some of my favorite small businesses for you to support on Small Business Saturday.

Okay, sorry to my mom and fiancé for having to read more about this. But I really love Riley Sheehey. I have her Botanical prints hanging in my living room and am constantly using her prints as my phone background. Minor obsession, I will not apologize. 100000/10 would recommend her work.
