Hello loves. I hope you find yourself in the midst of good holiday cheer. Today I feature a Shop Small Gift guide- a few outstanding items from small retailers.
“Shop Small” is a mantra that you hear from me often . Shopping small and locally, when possible, is a way to vote with our dollars and support the little guys, and gals. I will try to do a few of these in the next two weeks.
Warning, in advance- the last item in my shop small gift guide is a quirky one… and this particular one is for its quirky appeal, but it is too expensive and out there to recommend.
Below, salad servers Here
Kiss Salad server $80.00
Next, a gorgeous velvet skirt from VintagebySuzanne, well curated Etsy shop.
Blush velvet vintage skirt $28.55
Or Choose Wicked Good Cupcakes, a favorite gift choice of mine. Yum! $55.95.
A trendy and cool faux fur trimmed jacket ! Yes, please ! What do you think of this Shop Small Gift Guide so far? Cool and yummy, right?
Faux fur jacket $85
Next, a choice of rich green pumps and booties , upscale and gorgeous ! $410, $494.00
Dance Inspired swimsuit . Turn heads when you jet to the tropics! $104.30
Paloma Wool Intarsia sweater via Bona Drag. ON point and well crafted! $120.
SWOON! Blue velvet handle bag, $670, chic camel dress, $715
Faux fur jacket from Broadway Markets, downtown Manhattan
Via UnrequitedNYC $65.00
Now I am going to leave you with a whopper of an idea. No, I do not recommend that you buy this. But that it exists at all, is fodder for future discussion ! An artist made toilet , clad in Louis Vuitton signature leather for $100, 000. via Tradesy.
Yes, from Tradesy, a $100, 000. toilet from artist Illma Gore
So, what do you think of these gift suggestions? This Shop Small Gift Guide, is unlike any other ! I do recommend the first and majority of these gift ideas. Will you shop small this season? What are your favorite gift ideas for this gift giving season.
Sending warm holiday hugs and wishing you a wonderful week!
The salad servers are really unique, i would love to receive as a gift the blue velvet bag and the fur military jacket 🙂

Thanks Love, I am so glad, Have a great week!

Thank you for including me here! ((((( Elle ))))) It is much appreciated : )
That last one is akin to a toilet made out of gold. Good grief. For those that have far too much money! You can buy two cars or a toilet. Your choice. Heck you can probably buy a house in some parts of the world for the same cash.
I love the salad servers. So unique.

Excellent recommendations I shopped small businesses this weekend in Brooklyn. Etsy is another great source. Good to support small businesses. And those velvet bags are soooo cute.

I agree, Etsy is a great platform. Brooklyn has a lot of good, small shops, too! Yay, you!

That toilet! Ha! I always shop local, my downtown, local businesses and second-hand for things like a faux-fur jacket. You can find some amazing stuff, as you well know, dear Elle. Thank you for promoting this kind of “give back” at this time of year.
Yes, over the top, do you think ??? LOL. Yes, this is how I like to shop, the small businesses really need our support.
Happy holidays. I know you also shop with heart!
