I’m not sure anyone will appreciate your business this holiday season more than two groups: the small, independent stores and businesses, and the artists, shown here today. Those who forgo their own holiday events to finish your order in time for Christmas delivery, who stay up until the wee hours polishing off projects, barely having time to tend to their sore, busy little hands.
So here’s a gift guide close to my heart, featuring everything handmade [and I’m including art and photography in that category, mmmkay?]. Many of these creative souls have become good friends of mine, though I include them here not out of bias, but because I don’t think there is a person I know who would be disappointed to receive ANYTHING on this list…
one | two | three | four
five:: take 15% off with code shellchicd. This one is incredibly special to me, and I think you’ll be seeing the brand around here quite a bit more in the new year 😉
six | seven (use code SHOPEMILYCOZY for 20% off until 12/10!] | eight
nine | ten | eleven | twelve | thirteen
Best part? Everything is well under $100. Most are under $50!
Do yourself and these darling shop owners a favor and be sure to order very, very soon to ensure delivery by Christmas!
