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.

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.

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!
