While I love browsing Black Friday sales every year, it’s Small Business Saturday I actually prefer to shop. Small businesses have so many more unique gifts to offer, and your dollars support a small business in achieving their dreams. More and more small businesses are killing it with e-commerce as well, so you can now shop online for the coolest and most memorable gifts your loved ones may receive.
Here are 10 brands I encourage you to check out this Small Business Saturday.
- Anomie: one of my favorite SF boutiques with everything from candles to jewelry to lingerie.
- AYU: wine-inspired body care products for head to toe. I love their vino bronzing body scrub, it smells and feels heavenly!
- dawne FLORINE: sustainable and stylish swimwear I can’t get enough of. Their minimalistic cuts and on-trend colors are flattering on any body type. The suits are also fully reversible, truly with no ugly tags flopping out.
- Katie Dean Jewelry: handmade dainty jewelry perfect for both layering or a minimalistic look.
- Paradox Beauty: a luxe argan oil brand created by my friend Elise. Perfect for that natural glowing skin look.
- Paxton Gate: one of my fave funky shops in the Mission for crystals, fossils, air plants, and more.
- Rx Candles: this brand makes so many amazing scented candles, reed diffusers, sachets, and more. I love their tropical, floral, and woodsy scents the most.
- Samudra Skin & Sea: handmade, sustainable, and ethically sourced organic skincare that’s both gorgeous to look at and use. Their charcoal mask and face cream are my favorites.
- The Luffa Farm: small batch handmade bath products, including luffa which I had no idea was made here in California. More on the brand coming soon in a travel vlog, but visiting their farm in Santa Maria Valley was awesome.
- UnoEth: handmade leather goods in classic shapes and colors started by my friend and college classmate Xiomara.
