This Christmas, why don't you try to ditch the big box companies and support more smaller businesses instead. Especially with COVID-19, many small businesses are taking a hit and can use all the support they can get at this time. While the founders of Amazon and Walmart have become billions and billions of dollars richer during the pandemic, sadly 20% of small businesses had to close forever.
If you don't know of any small businesses, I am here to help. Below you will find five of my favorite small businesses that have the perfect gifts for someone for the holidays...and just in time for Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. Make sure to give them a follow on Instagram, and keep them in mind when holiday shopping!

You can count on Zira Boutique to have the latest trending styles for going out or a a lazy day at home. I look forward to their new arrivals every single week, including their pre-order items. The boutique has everything you need, including the cutest matching sets, tops, bottoms, custom bracelets & other accessories, dresses & rompers, sweatshirts, and bodysuits. I would honestly buy it all if I could. And make sure to follow their Instagram so you will be one of the first to know about their giveaways, new arrivals, and sales that happen all the time!
Designs by Lex T has the CUTEST cups, masks, and few other custom items, like wine glasses and baby clothes. You can get almost any design on them, with any colors and patterns in stock, and can check out their Instagram for more information on certain prices, item options, washing instructions, and some order inspiration. They also have specialty Christmas baskets for sale while supplies last. Certain items sell out fast so make sure you follow their account to stay updated on what's available and order while you can with a direct message!
If you're looking for a thoughtful gift, Art by Angelica is the business for you. Any portrait you want painted, they can do it, especially dogs and cats, landscapes, and human portraits. They are especially AMAZING with cat and dog portraits. Simply send her a direct message with a picture you want painted and the size of the canvas, and you will be guaranteed an amazing painting. They also create miniature ceramic sculptures and collectible art stickers. Be sure to give them a follow and keep an eye out for all their new art posts, especially the cute dogs!
4. Rival Dye Co
Rival Dye Co. simply has all your tie-dye needs. What is so great about this business is that their products are one of a kind and made to order. They also ship all their items in recyclable packaging which I LOVE so much. You can check out their Instagram highlights as well to learn more about their custom orders, available products, FAQ's, prices, and tie-dye patterns to make the ordering process easier. They have t-shirts, matching sweat sets, hats, socks, masks, and more. You can direct message their account to place your custom order. And once you receive your order, don't forget to follow their account and tag them in your post with your new tie-dye item on social to get a chance to be featured on their page!
Festival Fairy Emporium makes the cutest jewelry and hoops. Their hoops come in all colors and sizes, and also have an option for a tri-color or rainbow holographic design. All their jewelry, including necklaces and rings, can be made with petrified wood, stones, or glass beads, crafted into different wrapped designs. To place an order, simply message their account. Also, by the way, they are doing a giveaway at 1,000 followers so be sure to give them a follow so you can stay updated!
