Most of my favorite places to shop are small businesses! As a former small business owner, I know how important it is to shop small. So, I would like to share some of my favorite places to shop. The best part…you can shop all of these from your favorite comfy chair! Introducing…my Must Shop Small Business Gift Guide!
Small Business Gift Guide
FattyCakes Soap Company
FattyCakes Soap Company is a small business located in Warren, OH specializing in handcrafted soaps. I first discovered them through Love Thy Curves, also in the gift guide! Lots of fun goodies!
Glamour Edge Beauty
Glamour Edge Beauty creates some of the best eyeshadows I have ever tried! The pigments are incredible! I am so excited to include them in the gift guide this year! Find Glamour Edge online or check out their Instagram for pop up shops!
Grey Boutique
Grey Boutique not only is a local to me boutique, but the website updates constantly! Grey Boutique showcases on-trend women’s clothing and accessories. I always find the most chic clothing there to add to my wardrobe! Shop Grey Boutique online anytime!
Love Thy Curves
If you love to thrift, you will adore Love Thy Curves! Love Thy Curves comes straight out of Boardman, OH and carries sizes L on up! I consign there on the regular, and I put the money I make right back into the shop! Nicci works hard to make sure the place is inclusive and always on trend. Nicci also helped make sure I looked cute when I was pregnant during 2020 by helping pick out most of my wardrobe for me because I couldn’t make it into the store. Love thy Curves carries a variety of brands, including authentic designer brands. (Read she helps me stay bougie on the cheap). While the shop is local to me, she maintains an online store as well with lots of cute pieces!
Nevaeh Grace Boutique
When I see places making a conscious effort to be size-inclusive, I get really excited! Nevaeh Grace Boutique does just that! Plus, owner Alisha carries cute children’s clothing too! The pieces I have bought over the past year always gets compliments and a “Where did you get that?”
Nevaeh Grace Boutique is Ohio-based and with a storefront located in Salem, OH! I love following this boutique on Instagram because I get to see what is new on the regular!
Spellbound Sisters Bookstore and Cafe
Spellbound Sisters is a bookstore and cafe with rentable spaces for gatherings too! Delve into the depths of the magic of literature and curiosities. Relax with a drink and a snack while exploring and enjoying the whole vibe.
Tavi Dolls
Tavi Dolls started out of one family’s desire to celebrate diversity and give their daughter, Tavina, a doll that looks like her! Tavi Dolls gives girls of color a doll that helps them celebrate themselves and embrace their identity! Find out more on the Tavi Dolls Website!
Three Coastal Babies
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I am totally OBSESSED with my friend Pam’s (from @highheelshighchairs) bamboo clothing business! I never tried Bamboo clothing until Three Coastal Babies, and now my youngest lives in TCB 2 pieces. She also carries adult loungewear up to a 3X. It is so stretchy and comfortable that I want to live in them. For reference, I wear an XL in the loungewear and wear a 16.
My little one likes to wear his Three Coastal Babies clothing with sweaters or overalls currently. So needless to say, we pretty much have one of every print! I also love how inclusive she is.
That’s a Wrap!
