With how crazy this year has been and with the holidays coming up, it’s important to be supporting small businesses now more than ever. Many small business owners have been hit hard by the pandemic and are struggling to find business. The holiday season is the perfect time to support small businesses because you’re buying the gifts you need while helping those business owners be able to buy their own family gifts this holiday season. Here are a few of my favorite online small businesses to shop from this year!
