Small Business Gift Guide 2019

Happy Thanksgiving week y’all!

This week I wanted to share a small business gift & service guide as we are all traveling, shopping, spending time with family, and of course… eating. I try to shop small as much as possible throughout the year but know that it can be difficult to even know where to start. Hopefully this list of unique, quality shops and services will be helpful to you and yours in this season. The following list is some of my favorite businesses to shop with whether it be online or in-store! If you are not located in these areas, I encourage you to shop with small businesses local to you this holiday season (or online with one of my favorites below)!!

Guide is organized by online, Austin only, Houston only & Bryan College Station only.
