Holiday Gift Guide: Small Business Edition
The holidays are fast approaching, as is the deadline to get all your gift orders in due to global supply chain slow downs. I always do my best to support small businesses whenever I can, especially during the holidays when purchases can help boost sales for them. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite small businesses to shop as well as my picks for this holiday season. If you need any other ideas, let me know by commenting below or sending me a DM on instagram. Happy shopping!
Oak City Vintage | IG: @oakcityvintageokc
Oak City Vintage is a Community Curated Collective bringing together the best vintage sellers and makers in OKC. The best way to buy vintage online is with the safety of knowing it’s good quality and been vetted appropriately. This is definitely the spot to shop for your holiday dress!
My Picks:
Sanharo Style | IG: @sanharostyle
Sanharo Style is an online boutique that has pre-loved, sustainable fashion, accessories and home decor. With new items added often, it’s always fun to peruse the shop and see what finds the owner, Sandy (San) Hall (Ha) Robertson (Ro), has found.
My Picks:
Clásica Vintage | IG: @shop.clasica
Another women-led business that classifies all of their offerings online by the style of vintage that they are from designer, to silhouette to jewelry. You’ll find plenty of feminine and timeless pieces that make for perfect gift for the sister, best friend, or mom figure in your life.
My Picks:
Mate The Label | IG: @Mate_the_label
MATE is a brand you may be more familiar with as originated in Los Angeles and is known for their sustainable essentials made with non-toxic, natural, and organic materials. Their mission is to provide people everywhere with pieces that are clean from seed to skin. I have a code with them, giving you 20% off using ANNETTE20. No Black Friday sale needed.
My Picks:
Oleander & Palm | IG: @oleanderandpalm
A shop filled with so many great vintage finds from kitchen goods, clothes, accessories and even items for travel. It’s a curated shop that all the items within it have been collected, so it’s a easy way to always know you’re getting something with history that’s quality too. If you’re in need for some stocking stuffer inspiration, this is a great place to start!
My Picks:
Perez Bitan | IG: @perezbitan
You know I have an obsession with snake jewelry, so when I connected with Rachel Bitan, owner and designer of brand Perez Bitan, I was obsessed. I have the silver snake earrings and at the top of my wish list is the match ring! There is a wide variety of show-stopping jewelry to choose from and will definitely give that special someone a big smile once they open it.
My Picks:
Bel Kazan | IG: @Belkazan
Bel Kazan is a sustainable brand with fashion forward pieces you’ll reach for season after season. I love the bold prints and pretty silhouettes. The dresses are perfect for the upcoming holidays and spring soon after.
My Picks:
Selina Sanders | IG: @selina_sanders
For the girl who has everything, get something no one else has – a custom made top from Selina Sanders. Each piece is sustainably sourced and handmade, plus no two are alike. I was lucky enough to snag one for myself and it’s definitely an heirloom piece that I’ll pass down to Harlee.
My Picks:
Follow Selina to get updates on the latest drops. At the top of my list are her made-to-order sweaters and headbands.
SusanJaneStyle | IG: @susanjanestyle
SusanJaneStyle is a vintage shop filled with vintage home decor, fashion accessories, and jewelry from all different time periods. All the pieces are sourced and curated in Southern California. Susan’s shop offers so much variety to choose from that you can probably get your whole list done!
