Tomorrow is Black Friday and Cyber Monday is in a couple of days. It's the time of year where every company has a massive sale going on - from large corporations to small, local businesses. I can't lie and say I don't shop from the large companies. Between toys, clothes for the whole family, and electronics, I have to shop from the big boys because they're affordable and have what I need for Christmas gifts.
However, I do shop small too. Usually my own Christmas wish list has items from some local or smaller companies. I love buying handmade for friends and I usually get an item or two for Emma that's handmade.
This year has been hard on small and independent businesses, so I'm making even more of an effort to buy small this year. A good chunk of my own gifts will be from small businesses, I have plans to grab coffee and treats from our local coffee shops and bakeries, and I've been placing Etsy orders.
I wanted to share a few of my favourite small businesses with you!
If you have a small business to recommend, leave it in the comments for readers to check out!
