'Tis the season to give gifts! I enjoy shopping, however coming up with the idea's can be a whole different story. I like to give meaningful gifts, something handmade even. In addition, being a small business owner myself, I try to support other small businesses around this time of the year.
The thing is, I am very picky about the gifts I give. I don't want to just give a gift to "give it". I love when it can be personalized, customized, or even designed by me! Below are three of my favorite small shops that have the sweetest owners and are amazing at what they do. I know three is not many, but I would rather give a few of super high quality shops than a bunch of mediocre shops. I hope you enjoy taking a look at their shops and even find something gift worthy.
1. Words By Heart Co
I don't have enough room to say how much I LOVE this small shop. Words By Heart Co is a husband and wife duo who make customized and personalized hand-stamped jewelry. Their customer service, product quality, and passion for their business is truly one of a kind. The necklace in the photo to the left is my very own necklace I had personally designed. Remember how I said I love personalized items? If you do too, then www.wordsbyheart.com is the place for you to shop! They have vertical and horizontal necklaces, bar bracelets, cuff bracelets, disc necklaces and more.
2. Interior Niche
Interior Niche is is owned by a very talented Interior Designer. She has been a huge motivator for me the past year while starting my business. She is young, goal driven, and truly cares to create exactly what you envision. What makes her unique is she designs personalized calligraphy signs for any room. If your walls are a little bare, or you have been searching high and low for someone who makes personalized signs Interior Niche is for you.
3. Pea Pods & Purls
Pea Pods & Purls is here to keep you warm while you are out shopping for all your other holiday gifts. If you love handmade knitwear this is the shop for you. They make hand-knit hats for children and adults in any color combination you can imagine! If you are looking for a bit more of a fancy hat add a poof ball, if you are simple like me, all solid color hat will do. You can never have too many hats, especially hand-knit ones from Pea Pods & Purls.
