A Small Businesses Holiday Gift Guide: Beautiful Brands Worth Supporting

As both an interior designer and a small business owner myself, I know how meaningful it is to support local makers, *especially* during the busy season. That’s why I’m so excited to share this year’s small businesses holiday gift guide, filled with makers and creatives I’ve been collecting over the years.

One thoughtful gift from a small brand can genuinely put food on the table, help cover rent, and bring a dream one step closer for someone who’s poured their heart into their craft. Whether it’s hand-thrown ceramics, bespoke textiles, or beautifully designed home accessories, these items feel personal and meaningful under your tree.

Over time, I’ve come across talented artisans and entrepreneurs whose work I adore. Their pieces are not only beautiful, but well worth a peruse this season. From unique hostess gifts to seasonal décor to thoughtful pieces your loved ones will treasure, I feel confident you’ll find something for everyone on your list.
