Favorite Small Businesses to Support During the Holidays
It's the holiday season which means it’s holiday shopping time! Instead of making a another gift guide for you to go through like everyone else does, I'd like to share these small businesses I've either discovered this year or still love that you can help support as well. I've split them up into categories so they are easy to shop and I've also highlighted the ones local to Southeast Tennessee.

Sort Joy
I have been a fan of Sort Joy for several years now. I absolutely love their pieces. I've used them in some of my builds in our house to help organize specific items. I used them on the bar shelves and not only are they gorgeous but they come in multiple colors, hold a ton, and have labels you can attach to them so you can keep track of what's inside of them.

Beddy’s
Beddy’s is one of my top home items by far, I absolutely love them! It is a top fitted sheet with a comforter that zips onto it. It makes making the bed super easy especially for kids. They come in toddler size all the way up to king. I know people that have them on their King size beds and we have a set on our guest bed in our loft. This way, the bed isn't going to get messed up all the time and it always looks made, which is a huge win!

Sleekform
You've probably seen the kneeling chair in the blog post from when I redid our primary bedroom and I built my husband his desk. Not only is this a kneeling chair, but it rocks. It is great for a neurodivergent brain as well as for anyone with back and hip issues.

Favorite Small Businesses to Support during the Holidays | Accessories
Made By Mary
I absolutely love Made by Mary. I've had some of their pieces for seven years now. I'm often wearing my initial necklace with the initials of both of my kids that I got from Made by Mary. I got the J originally almost seven years ago now before Jackie was born and then six years later I was able to get an identical disc with my sons initial. Its a gorgeous statement piece that I treasure.
Allie + Bess
Allie and Bess is a company that I discovered this year and I really, really love them. They have a lot of really gorgeous beaded pieces that are very colorful, and they also have matching mommy and me options. Such a fun find for stocking stuffers!
Shop Andi
I've been a fan of Shop Andi for several years now and I absolutely love this business. I found them because I was looking for a watch band that would not make me break out in hives because I have a metal allergy. Shop Andi has these amazing scrunchie watch bands that you can size based on the size of your wrist. They also have scrunchie keychain lanyards and key rings. I love using these for teacher gifts because you're never gonna go wrong giving a teacher a lanyard or a key ring because they're going to need it no matter what. Shop Andi also has tons of cute hair accessories and jewelry.

Kamaria Jewelry
Kamaria Jewelry, is a company I've shared about before. I absolutely love them. They have the most gorgeous hats and other pieces. One of the things I love about them the most is that 10 percent of their sales go to supporting survivors of sexual assault. I always love supporting a cause that gives back!
Shop Magic Gloss
Magic gloss is one that I recently discovered. I actually had a friend send me one of their Instagram reels for the crown hair clip and I just HAD to have it. They also have nail stickers, more hair clips, and lots of other accessories. They are girly and cute and so "us". I absolutely love their hair clips; I got one for me and one for my daughter for stocking stuffers.

Gameday Couture
Game Day Couture is a “new to me” company. They have really cute game day clothes for different universities and professional teams. If you're like me, and the team you support is not a color you would normally wear, for example Tennessee is bright orange and that is just not a color I wear, I was able to find some really cute options for me here instead. They also have really cute stuff for the kids too!

Kizik
This is another “new to me” company this year. If you haven't seen an ad for Kizik, you probably really haven't been on the internet. I can attest to the amazingness of these truly hands-free shoes. I bought a pair for my daughter and a pair for me when I was about eight months pregnant. The fact that I didn't have to bend over to put them on was amazing and they magically stay on too, which is the cool part. No more crushed heels on your shoes when your rushing out the door. They are genius.

The Honey Mark
I've talked about The Honey Mark several times. I can't tell you how much I absolutely love this company. They make swim leisure. These are pieces that can be used when you go swimming, so they can obviously get wet, but you can also wear them out and about. They have a built in sports bra, are extra lined, and have POCKETS! They're great for hiking when we end up at like a waterfall or a lake, splash pads, and chasing after kids. They are the perfect combination of comfort, function and style!
Lates By Kate
Lates by Kate is another company I've been talking about for years. I love all of their jammies; they are SO comfy, so well made and so buttery soft. They've expanded recently and are doing more than just jammies, like these really cute sweatsuits I have in two colors. While they do have some pieces available on their site, they are doing a launch of their Christmas pajamas at the end of November, so stay tuned for that!
Fernando and James is another new one for me this year. While they are not local to Southeast Tennessee, they are local to middle Tennessee. I was so in awe of how gorgeous these are, how soft they are, and all of the detail that are in each doll. I can't wait to continue building our collection!
Taylor Joelle
My daughter lives in Taylor Joelle dresses when she isn't in her school uniform. If you've been around a while, you know this. We are huge fans of their character inspired dresses. They also have t-shirts, clothes for adults, clothes for the whole family. They are great for costumes, Disney trips but also just everyday play wear because they are soft and wash really well!

Tubby Todd
I've been talking about Tubby Todd for a long time now. We were recommended Tubby Todd when my daughter had a rash that we could not get rid of and the all over ointment saved the day. I don't know what it is about this stuff, but it is incredible. I've recommended it to so many other people and we came back to them again when the baby was born because he had super sensitive skin and they have a scent-free option for all of their products. It's incredible and a miracle worker for sensitive baby skin.

Tush Baby
Tush Baby is a “new to me” company from this year, but I absolutely love them. If you've been around for a little bit you know that I was trying out different options for carrying my very heavy baby. Nothing was really great and my poor body was having a hard time lugging him around without any support. Enter Tush Baby! There's just something awesome about this product. It is like a fanny pack baby can sit on. It helps distribute the weight around your whole body instead of just on your hip. It helps alleviate hip and back pain. They are size inclusive and they have extenders if you need a larger fit. It is another miracle worker product!

Cuddle + Kind
We love Cuddle and Kind dolls and we've been a huge fan of them for a long time. My daughter has quite a few of them, thanks to my mom. Not only are these beautiful, but they are made by women artisans in Peru and each doll that is purchased provides 10 meals to children in need. Once again, another company that gives back which I love!
Another local option is the Sandbox Boutique, which I also discovered this year and absolutely love. I'm there way too often. They have super cute kids clothes, toys and books. It's an adorable store. They also have an online store if you aren't local!
North Star Boutique
North star boutique is another new one this year find. They actually just opened their doors this year and are such a cute local company. I love this boutique because it is size inclusive and the owner's goal is for you to understand your true worth as a woman and for you to feel comfortable in your skin. She even has had someone come in and help her label all of the clothes different seasons so you can figure out which color is best for you. I get so many compliments on the pieces that I have from here. Oh, and by the way, you can shop online if you aren't local!
Eros Hat Co.
Eros Hat Company is another local company that I discovered this year. I first went to them for their permanent jewelry, but they also do customizable hats that you can design. They have trucker hats, cowboy hats, straw summer hats, lots of cute different options.
Furnish
Furnish is another local store with an online site you can shop. They have an amazing Jelly Cat selection, both Christmas and regular Jelly Cat's, which is a huge deal at my house, but they also have a lot of great home pieces that are great for gifting. If you're local its just a cute store that's fun to go into with adorable pieces to add to your home.
That wraps up our small business list. Hopefully you can find something you love on this list to add to your holiday shopping this year. Happy Holidays!
