Shop Small: Creative Holiday Gift Ideas on Etsy
This year I’ve made a pledge to shop small.
Small businesses have taken an especially hard hit during the coronavirus pandemic. Let’s be honest, the big box stores will be fine and won’t miss your dollars as much small businesses do.
It’s the small businesses that do a little dance every time a sale is made. As a small shop myself, I know this to be true!
I’ve turned to Etsy to carefully curate some lovely gift ideas this holiday season to show support to these talented creatives who sell everything from jewelry to home decor.

Amazing Gifts From Black-Owned Businesses
Finally, I intend to take it one step further and patronage Black-owned businesses for the majority of my shopping this holiday season.
It doesn’t take much digging to find information about the disparities between the wealth of White and Black citizens of the United States.
Did you know the net worth of a typical white family is nearly ten times greater than that of a Black family?
Why not use your dollars to give back to the Black community this holiday season? Denoted with a 🖤, scroll through these unique, handmade goodies from talented creatives who run these Black-owned businesses and put your dollars where it matters.
Just so you know, we may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Please know that Etsy, not the small shop owner, pays out any affiliate payments.
