Photo & Design: Old Line Home
Over the past few weeks, I’ve shared gift guides and thoughtful ideas for everyone on your list (here!). But I couldn’t let the season pass without highlighting some of my very favorite small businesses. Supporting small businesses is more important than ever—every purchase you make has a real impact. It’s not just about finding unique gifts (though you absolutely will), it’s about giving back to the heart and soul behind these shops.
Whether it’s handmade jewelry, cozy knitwear, or beautiful home goods, these businesses have captured my heart with their creativity and care. Shopping small ensures your gifts come with stories, meaning, and intention, something that feels especially special this time of year. Let’s make this season not just about giving but also about supporting.
