My Favorite Small Businesses to Buy Gifts From

I won’t pretend like I don’t love Amazon for the convenience, but I really really love supporting small businesses when I can, especially because most of the items are so uniquely beautiful. If you’re looking to shop small this holiday season, here’s a round up of my favorite small businesses.

Disclaimer: A lot of these small businesses have restocks that sell out quickly. Follow their socials to know when the next restock is and jump on it when they do release!

Braelake Studio

On my list: Cereal Candle and S’mores Bowl Wax Melt

WickIt Candle Co.

I just bought the Mulled Wine and it smells just like Christmas at home

On my list: Toasted (omg smells just like a S’more!) and Pumpkin Chai (OBSESSED)

Mount Lai

For my birthday this year I received the Gua Sha and I’m obsessed! Mount Lai is proudly Asian female-owned and rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. They take special care to give proper instruction for how to use the Gua Sha tool (along with other face tools!), so turn to them instead of Tik Tok for this!

Novel Neighbor

They have the best book recommendations on Tik Tok and they’re a small local bookstore in St. Louis that ships nationwide! If you’re getting any books this year, take a look at their site first.


Aspen Essence

On my list: Earth & Rose Soap
