SHOP MEMPHIS | SHOP SMALL BUSINESS
NOTE: All of these products are sold by local or small businesses. Almost all of them are local Memphis businesses, and if not, they are small businesses online. I will include all of the links below! (cause I know you are gonna want them!!)
When I shop for friends, I really love to get them something unique. Sometimes, though, I find myself in that sudden crunch-time mode before Christmas or a birthday, and in those times the easiest route is going online to Amazon or dropping by Target. These are all chain places that have awesome designers and fantastic little gifts, but lack the person behind the product. To me it’s incredibly special and personal to get something from another maker. I know that their hands have touched it and there’s a unique reason behind each piece. It’s usually higher quality when each piece has been individually checked by its maker, and that it’s been created, priced, and sold by a person, not a corporation.
As a small business owner, I believe that good, personalized service is worth the extra money that you spend. Being able to tuck in a business card and explain why you wanted to give someone this specific item and who they supported by getting this gift--is so special and cool. Each item below is something I either am currently using or would use. I personally messaged the makers/collected the pieces below. They did not pay to be featured. GUYS! I just love the faces and hands behind their brands. I'm honored to live in a city growing in makers. My goal this Christmas is to gift smaller, more precious gifts to my friends and family. To support the story tellers and artists.
The main goal of this blog post is to give people a starting point. So here it is: a simple, straight-forward guide to local gift-giving. So I hope this inspires you to support local and small. <3 All in time for small business Saturday!
