When it comes to finding the perfect gift for everybody on your list, sometimes you have to think small. Literally. From mugs to hair accessories to coffee beans or briefcases, sure-to-please presents are often physically little. Of course, these tiny treasures can be even more thoughtful and unique if you get them from a cool small business.
From family-owned companies to brands from historically underrepresented groups, the brands below allow you to connect with like-minded people and find memorable and special presents for your loved ones that aren’t sold in bulk. To help you shop small this holiday season, we rounded up our favorite items from a selection of small businesses, ranging from home goods to beauty products to jewelry and more. We also share a few details about each company so you can learn more about the businesses you are supporting.
