We all know what holiday shopping is like. We head to the malls and the big box stores and find ourselves exhausted and wishing we could pick up some Starbucks and head home to snuggle up on the couch and binge watch our favorite shows.

Just me?

I have been doing much of my shopping online for years. And every year I try to support small businesses, not just for Shop Small Saturday, or whatever it's actually called. But because I love supporting people as best I can - especially when they're friends!

Many of my friends have incredible talents. I'm sharing two of them with you here to help you support small businesses this holiday season.

Danielle - Hook Smart

My friend Danielle is so freaking talented, y'all.

I bought this cozy cowl scarf (and headband/ear-band - whatever you want to call it) from her a few years ago and it's my favorite winter accessory. It's held up wonderfully and is just so gorgeous.

Don't mind my expression or my face. I was cooooollllld, people. Cold. Toasty. But cold.

Head to Hook Smart and see what she has available. And don't just consider her for holiday gifts. Know a friend or loved one with a winter birthday? This is where you go to shop for their presents to keep them warm and cozy this season!

Lisa - Lisa Lehman Designs

Now, it's no secret that I love jewelry. Especially when it's handmade and crafted by the incredibly talented Lisa. I have been a fan of her work for YEARS.

One of the first things I ever bought from her was a pair of gorgeous earrings.

But I didn't stop there.

I also bought a beautiful ring. And more earrings. And a necklace. And more earrings. Have a look.

I obviously have a problem and have indicated that I need a Lisa Lehman Designs budget.

So - there you have two recommendations on how to shop small this holiday season.

This post is not sponsored. I'm not receiving any kickbacks. Yes, these two individuals are my friends, but their work speaks for itself. So - if you're looking for something special this holiday season - or just any time you need a custom made gift for your loved ones, or just for you - contact these women. They're amazing at what they do. You won't regret it.
