Small Business Saturday is November 28th and right now, small businesses need our support more than ever! If you’re looking for a way to make a difference this holiday season, remember to shop small! I’ve always been a firm supporter of shopping small but since Covid, I’ve been shopping small more than ever! If you’re looking for some small businesses to support this holiday season, I’ve compiled a list of my absolute favorite small businesses! Remember if you’re not sure sure what to buy the people on your holiday shopping list from the shops below, most offer gift cards!
Most Everything Vintage: Based out of Vancouver, WA this shop is my favorite local small business and my go-to for most everything (you guessed it) vintage! If you don’t live in the Portland area, you can easily shop this small business on Instagram. The shop owner and her staff post new items almost daily and their hand made masks would make perfect stocking stuffers! If you’re local and able to stop by the shop, I definitely recommend it! Most Everything Vintage always has the most incredibly decorated store front windows and there’s nothing like actually visiting this shop. Also, be sure to stop by Compass Coffee, another small business right next door, before or after your trip to Most Everything because they have the most amazing chai tee lates!
Dela Deville’s Vintage: Based out of Springdale, AK Dela has so many amazing true vintage and vintage reproduction clothes and accessories. Dela’s shop offers free shipping and recently started a rewards program so you can earn points on every purchase. Be sure to follow Dela Deville’s Vintage on Instagram for the shops latest arrivals and promotions. Warning: no one knows holiday style quite like Dela, so you’re going to be tempted to buy something festive for yourself! Trust me!
Witchwood Bags: This small business is guaranteed to have that special something for the spooky person on your Christmas list. I love this shop’s berets, umbrellas and makeup brushes! Shopping tip: be sure to set Instagram post notifications for this shop to learn about the launches of their new releases. Witchwood products tend to sell out quickly!
Vixen by Micheline Pitt: Did you actually think I could do a small business post and not mention Vixen?? This CA based shop has quickly become one of my favorite places to shop. Micheline’s vintage reproduction is on par with true vintage quality which means her pieces are made to last! Not sure what size the Vixen on your list wears? No problem! Vixen has great accessories and even offers gift cards!
Del Rio Vineyards: Holiday gifting made super easy! Who doesn’t like wine?! Whether you’re looking to buy a bottle of wine for a friend, co-worker or the hostess of a socially distanced holiday gathering Del Rio has a wine for you! I personally recommend the Rose’ Jolee featured in this holiday gift box – it’s sweet, bubbly and oh so perfect for any holiday moment. Del Rio Vineyards is hands down my favorite Oregon vineyard!
Cobalt Studios PDX: To all my local readers: there’s no time like the present (no pun intended) to give the gift of photography this holiday season! On December 5th, Michaela Higgison, owner of Cobalt Studios and one of my favorite local photographers, is offering 30 minute holiday mini sessions starting at $75! For your mini session you’ll get a choice of backdrop and you can pick your favorite images at $10 per edit! Pick 10 edits and the 11th will be free!! My holiday photo shoot with Michaela was last weekend and it definitely got me in the holiday spirit!! Be sure to book your session now as spots are filling up quickly!
Land and Kamp: Another amazing Oregon based, female owned small business!! Established in 2015, the owner Jesse, makes unique purses designed to fit your lifestyle! Land and Kamp pieces are made from the highest quality fabrics and hardware. The craftsmanship Jesse puts in to every purse, backpack and wristlet is truly incredible! So if there’s someone on your holiday shopping list who loves timeless accessories that are made to last – give the gift of Land and Kamp this holiday season! Also now through November 27th take advantage of 15% off (site wide) with free shipping!
Happy shopping, everyone!!
