1. Katy Garry Fine Art Dots Painting ~ Katy is a friend and former co-worker. She’s an incredibly talented accessory designer who is now using her artistic talents to create art! Her paintings are colorful and happy, and range from tropical, to sailboats, to abstract, to animals and beyond!
2. Lydia Marie Elizabeth 2021 Palm Beach Desk Calendar ~ Lydia is SUCH a talented artist, specializing in watercolors. I recently directed a friend to her for commissionable art (she can do anything from people to houses!). I love her preppy prints. Her desk calendars and her notebooks make awesome gifts!
3. Stylin Brunette Double Happiness Jar Sneaker ~ Kristel makes the most fun preppy slide-on sneakers that you’ve ever seen! Also, they are incredibly comfy!
4. Crab and Cleek Ski Resort Tote – Crab and Cleek has a tote for everyone on your list – really!
5. Acrylic Sticks Pink Vespa Drink Stirs ~ Acrylic Sticks has SO MANY fun novelty drink stirs. This would be an amazing present for anyone who loves to host parties OR just simply loves their cocktails 🙂
~ Hi friends! Small businesses need our help! This year more than ever. I was elated that most of you felt the same way as I did (*82% of you said you wanted to see a Shop Small Guide when I asked on instagram)! I hope this Shop Small Gift Guide helps check off your Christmas list!
This post is arranged a bit differently than my usual round ups. After each picture, there will be a link to the items above with a little blurb about the small business. I wanted to have an opportunity to appropriately speak to each brand or business! The best part about all twenty items on this guide? They are ALL from a female founded small business or brand!
6. Lisi Lerch Dorothy-Eleanor Bow Clutch ~ I have shared so many pieces from Lisi over the years, and while I do swoon for her statement earrings, her handbags are INSANELY amazing! I wanted to share one on here because I feel like you don’t immediately associate handbags with her brand. She has some one-of-a-kind gems!
7. Dashing Trappings Ball Topiary Hook Pillow ~ My bamboo bar cart is from Dashing Trappings! Christine curates the most stunning home decor. She carries so many jaw dropping accent pieces that are more of an “investment,” but she ALSO has more affordable accents like this pillow (under $100) that make great gifts!
8. Andrea Del Bello Jewelry Emily Earrings ~ Andrea is one of my dear friends! You’ve seen me in her tassel earrings over the years! She has made me the most special and stunning pieces. If you are looking for very special jewelry for someone special to you, head on over to Andrea’s site. The necklace I got my mom 5 years ago is still one of her very favorites!
9. Katie Fong Collection Reversible Gingham Face Masks ~ Katie is another friend of mine! FIRST…CALLING ALL BRIDES…she has the most stunning bridal and occasion wear and will work with you on anything custom. She’s an incredibly talented designer! I love her face masks embroidered with a heart on each and think they would be a wonderful gift!
10. Magnolia Creative Co. Jinger Jar Tray ~ I shared an oyster tray of theirs early this fall, however they have SO much more than just oysters and ginger jars. They also carry an array of giftables outside of just ceramics! Definitely unique and special for the women on your list who “already have everything they would want”!
11. Mary Caroline Spano Designs Chinoiserie Bracelet ~ GOODNESS her pieces are just the best. I absolutely love my bracelets from her (they have a great weight to them which I love in a bracelet) and they are perfect for the chinoiserie/ginger jar lover!
12. Pearly Vine Headbands ~ Pearly Vine has some really fun and unique preppy pieces (*think denim jackets with plaid or striped accents!). I featured one of their plaid wraps on the blog and even wore it over a navy dress to a wedding (*it got lots of compliments!).
13. Words of Art by Ali J Print ~ Ali went to Hill with me and I am always smiling and giggling (*she’s got some funny ones!) at her amazing work she shares on instagram. She makes signs and prints and does custom work as well!
14. Lily Lough Christmas Bow Earrings ~ I will always have a love for small boutiques that remind me of my mom’s! Lily Lough does just that. Much like my mom’s boutique of 30 years, she has unique and fun jewelry, accessories, and great little giftables that you wouldn’t have thought of but are just the perfect thing!
15. Duffield Lane Fleece Pullover ~ Duffield Lane is a GEM of a brand based in Michigan. Everything is SOFT, stunning, classic, timeless, and somehow always just fits me perfectly. Their team is just SO incredibly kind, too! I’ve been living in my fleece from them and if you need something cozy for the more sophisticated person on your list, look no further! They also have ADORABLE little girls clothes!
16. Belle and Ten Tortoiseshell Personalized Notecards ~ Kim curates the best online shop of personalizable/giftable pieces! My monogrammed stemless wine glasses are from her and they are my favorite. I LOVE these tortoiseshell notecards that you can have personalized! I will never have enough stationary and I’m sure you have someone in your family who feels the same 🙂
17. Dress for Cocktails Customizable Cross Body Bag ~ My most used bag is my bow cross body bag from Dress for Cocktails. You can pick your bow and there are SO many options! They also clip right on, so you can switch it up whenever you want. Actually…come to think of it, maybe I need to ask Santa for more of her bows to swap onto my favorite bag : ) I should also mention that she has the best jewelry and HATS as well!
18. Sara Campbell Quilted Knit Shell ~ Sara Campbell is based in Boston and just has the most beautiful things! I think this quilted knit is a more elevated pullover that would make a fantastic gift!
19. Something Old Something New 4U Navy Button Earrings ~ Chelsea repurposes old designer buttons and accents and turns them into jewelry and I’m OBSESSED! Everyone could use a little bit of luxury in their every day, right?!
20. TRVL Designs Packing Squad Set ~ I have high hopes for travel in 2021! TRVL designs has so many great travel cases in the cutest prints and patterns!
Thank you all SO much for shopping small!
Gratefully with love,
