Small Business Favorites for Gifting
If you’ve been around here for a bit, you know I’m small businesses, be it supporting them, sharing them, shopping them, working with them, and, of course, gifting from them. In fact, they’re my favorite kinds of gifts to give. So I wanted to draw attention to a few favorites this year both to brands I’ve talked about, used, shared and loved for a while now as well as ones that are new-to-me. Each small business is truly wonderful and has an assortment of special pieces that would make perfect gifts for anyone and everyone on your list!

Small Business Favorites for Gifting
CAMPFIRE POTTERY //
I can’t get enough of the stunning pottery pieces from this brand! Plus, you know I’m a sucker for anything from Maine! A few pieces I suggest checking out for gifting- this vase, a candle (which comes in a vessel that can be re-used or re-filled with a new candle once it’s done), these mugs (I’m obsessed with this color) and pretty much anything in this collection, the tumblers, the plates, the mini dishes, all of it (and yes, I am slightly biased because the collection is a collab with a very talented friend of mine and also because I now have about 20 pieces of said collection in my house, but truly it is all stunning and all so perfect for gifting)!
GOOD JUJU //
Female founded and run, organic, handmade skincare products that are super rad, super approachable and super easy to use. They’re also affordable and especially formulated for sensitive skin, and they do all kinds of amazing things to give back and be more sustainable. I have this travel set, which would make such a great gift, and this set would also make an amazing gift. I also love this face mask, and, of course, you can’t go wrong with any of their bars of soap (which come in so many incredible scents), both of which would make great stocking stuffers!
PARKER CLAY //
If you’re looking to gift any sort of leather goods this season, don’t look anywhere but here! Their products are not only made to last (literally they have a lifetime guarantee) from only the best, sustainably sourced leather, each product makes a huge impact in bettering the lives of those who are making these bags in Ethiopia. I have a whole post on what to gift from them, but a few standout favorites are always this bag (because everyone needs a good travel bag), a tote (because totes are always a good gift idea) and these cute pouches (perfect, smaller, budget-friendly gift that can be given alone or paired with another item). No matter what you select to gift, don’t forget to use my code PC-ALYSSA15 to get 20% off!
JENNI KAYNE //
It’s no secret that I adore all things Jenni Kayne, and especially when it comes to gifting. You can’t go wrong with any of their sweaters, a good puffer jacket is always a good idea, I am OBSESSED with these mules, their candles are incredible, books are always a great idea and so are these soft socks (Hello perfect cozy stocking stuffer!). As always, you can use my code Alyssa15 to get 15% off!
BROCHU WALKER //
The perfect place to get gifts that are timeless, classic pieces that any woman would be happy to add to her closet. A few specific pieces that I think would make beautiful gifts include these luxe slippers, cashmere socks, this stunning, cozy wrap and any of their wonderful sweaters (if you need help deciding on a specific one, you can read about all my favorite sweaters of theirs in this post).
SISTAIN //
If you’re looking for pieces that are not only beautiful but also sustainable, look no further than SISTAIN. They have such a wide variety of items that could work for anyone on your list and you can shop easy knowing that everything has been vetted for sustainability. A few items to check out for gifting- these mugs that I can’t stop swooning over, a pretty linen napkin set (would make a great host gift), this mini mask trio set (that I have and love), and, if you’re stuck on what to gift/really can’t decide, they even have these perfect holiday bundles ready to go for easy gifting.
GOODIES //
Another brand you’ve probably seen me share many times as I have many of their pieces throughout my home and in many of my photos; they have so many great pieces, from wood to ceramic, and all at incredible price points (nothing is over $25!). A few I like for gifting include this vase, this cute storage container, this incense holder and these coffee mugs, but you can check out all of their pieces here.
