Small Business Gifting

We are all living in the world that is 2023, buying items quickly is how we do everything all year. Amazon or Target has you covered with your last min gift for any occasion. For the holidays this year I encourage you to do what is easiest for you. If you look at my previous post, most of the links are on Amazon or bigger stores because that is what’s universally available.

If you want to support a small business and would prefer to have your holiday gifts be hand made, you can check out a list of some businesses below. One thing I love about these businesses are their personal stories and inspirations behind the business or creation as a whole. If you want to support a small business, this is the post for you!

*Bonus Tip: If you know a coffee lover buy coffee beans, a gift card, merch or anything else from a local coffee shop for them. Some shops have sample boxes so you can get that if you aren’t sure what type of roast they like.

Black Paper Party

Our journey began with a simple question: Why should the elves, Santas, and fireside families on gift wrapping paper always look the same? We knew it was time to introduce more Black representation into the beautiful tapestry of holiday imagery. With dedication and a labor of love, we started designing and manufacturing culturally relevant products that celebrate Black families. From our award-winning illustrations to our premium wrapping paper, gift bags, ornaments, greeting cards, and decor, each piece embodies the spirit of inclusivity and authenticity.
