We know things are feeling bleak, and it feels strange to talk about shopping right now. But supporting women and minority owned businesses this holiday season is more important than ever. We are proudly woman owned and queer women run. Almost all of the small businesses and makers we carry are also woman owned! We are proud to carry and support these makers (who live all over the country), and your support of our shop directly supports them.⁠
⁠
If you plan on gift shopping this holiday season, we encourage you to be intentional with where you spend your money and who you support. Choose to shop local. Choose to support women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ owned businesses. Where you spend your money makes a difference!
⁠
We have tagged some of our favorite local woman, BIPOC and LGBTQ owned shops in the photo. Who did we miss?! Tag your favorite shops and makers in the comments! (We stuck to shops like ours, but any recommendations are appreciated 😊)⁠
