Now for the most important gift guide of the season – my Shop Small guide! It’s so important to me to support small businesses because these shops are so special to me as a creator! The relationships that I’ve formed with these brands are so meaningful to me, and it’s so much fun to cheer each other on in our endeavors.
Before you fill your cart on Amazon to knock out your holiday shopping, read through this guide and consider giving these small businesses some love! I can personally tell you that the people behind these shops are so deserving of your business this holiday season.
1. The Preppy Stitch: My favorite custom monogramming shop! There are so many fun gifts on her site, like this tote bag. They also did this custom zip-top pouch for me with my wedding crest embroidered on it! I use it to keep a few wedding keepsakes stored away.
2. Gaby & Grace: A go-to spot for any kind of fun earring you can think of! We wore these champagne earrings on my sister’s bachelorette weekend, and I also loved wearing these pink cowgirl boot earrings on our trip to Nashville earlier this year. You can also use my code MARGARET10 to save 10% on their site!
3. Pink Stable Boutique: Remember my fun early-summer collection with Pink Stable this year?? They’re also the perfect place to order gifts for the holiday season – this jacket is in my cart (such a designer look for less!), and these customizable patch pouches are perfect for just about anyone on your list.
4. Sprinkled With Pink: It’s all in the name! This sparkly shop for bachelorette goodies and custom gifts is always a favorite for me around the holidays. They’re having their early Black Friday sale right now, which means major savings on things like this embroidered shadow monogram sweatshirt, and my favorite monogrammed card case which makes a great little gift for friends. My code MARGARET works for 10% off on their site!
5. Shop Junonia: I’ve shared a couple of pieces like this beautiful maxi dress, and this maxi skirt that I’m planning to wear for Thanksgiving from Junonia. Kamie, who also owns Dizzy Daisy Designs and created all of our wedding papers, also owns this shop! Her talents are amazing! The napkins and placemats would also make great gifts for your mom, or MIL.
6. pongopanna: A brand that I was so thrilled to be introduced to earlier this year, especially because of its North Carolina ties! You might remember my journey to deciding which Brunch Bag to choose, and I ended up bringing the hallie lyla home with me. I also love the lottie bomba bag, whose tones are perfect for the fall and winter.
7. TRVL Design: I’ve been traveling with TRVL Designs bags tucked into my luggage for years! They have so many fun bag patterns and styles – I also love the gingham bags as a gift to expecting mothers.
8. Pearly Vine: A brand that I’ve enjoyed collaborating with for years! I’m so excited to wear this holiday plaid tunic top for the holidays, and I know I’ll be throwing on this adorable puffer with grosgrain ribbon trim to run errands all winter long!
Have fun shopping small!
