Small Business Shopping for the Holidays

[brux]

I know I love nothing more than shopping and buying things, and mapleme 's post about her hot sauce made me think.

Years ago we had a board or a thread where small business owners posted about their products/shops.  I was wondering if we have people posting here who would want to share about their goods in time for the holidays.

Feel free to spam this thread with your sales pitch or links to your shop. 



...I'd prefer no MLMs, but I can't stop you from trying to get me to buy your Younique mascara...

My husband has an Etsy selling handmade Montessori-style toy blocks and butcher block cutting boards, etc. His shop name has our name in it, but if anyone’s interested, pm me. (Free shipping, too!)

I will keep this in mind for my sister's wedding gift next year!

What is the hot sauce company? I know I've seen it posted before, but I can't remember the name and this sounds like a great stocking stuffer for H.

One of my friends hand makes jewelry. Her shop is black female owned and all of her stuff is unique and holds up well. www.purpleskybykime.com/

An old coworker started her own jewelry business. She does really great work, and I’m so proud of her.

A friend of mine in England has his own organic line. His Ageing Sucks serum is amazing.

I love this idea. Keep them coming, I still have gifts to buy!

[mapleme]

I'm writing this out all odd, not because I'm worried about any of you skin suiting me, but I don't want HIH to show up when folks google my business (that happened with TCF, so I learned my lesson), but I also am too lazy to tell people to PM me.

We started out as a bakery, but now mostly do hot sauce. Our Maple Wood Smoked Onion Hot Sauce was on season 7 of Hot Ones (with Tenacious D, Lil Yachty, Weird Al, Chrissy Teigen). We do a bunch of copacking now for making other people's branded products and we just did Keith's Chicken Sauce with Keith from The Try Guys (it's sold out right now, but we're making more). We do a bunch of products with the band Guster including a mustard, a granola and a hot chocolate mix.

I just went to my website to create a discount for you guys and noticed that I did one two years ago that is still active. So you can use HIH2017 for 10% off your whole order.

Has an online shop I like buying At. I bought several things and no complaints. My snap cardigan is one of my favorite things I’ve gotten from them.

Oh, perfect.

I have two "new" (5 months and 9 months at Christmas) nieces. I have their gifts under control, but I'm shopping for a hair bow or two as the bows on top of their gifts. Any suggestions on particular shops on etsy or other small businesses to check out? Both SILs prefer the alligator clips over bands

[kmkd]

mapleme this is going right into my sister’s stocking

[klondike]

mapleme 's mustards are amazing! I highly recommend getting some if you do ham for the holidays.

I have no affiliation to this shop, but I love Modern Piggy for bows!

mapleme has the best hot sauce. I’ve done it for stocking stuffers for my husband in the past

[sheilathetank]

I think joy has an Etsy shop or at least she did in her siggy at one point.

[microworm]

mapleme im looking at your website and your stuff looks like amazing stocking stuffers. Yum.

But, I must know. What is your connection to Guster? Imma fan.

I have an Etsy shop- it started as a fun hobby after I started staying home with my kids this summer but just kind of took off. I do monogramming and appliqué clothing.

Also MLMs /= small business owner. It annoyed me to no end to see all of the MLM people pitching their products on Small Business Saturday

Cutting boards may be something I am interested in. Pm me the name

[Wtfshouldmynamebe]

I will buy all the hot sauce and tell you which is best. Because I live on hot sauce.

[Wtfshouldmynamebe]

Have you posted this here before? I saw it somewhere recently and placed an order last week, DH is a huge fan of Heady Topper and hot sauce, he’s going to love his stocking stuffers.

[apk4]

mapleme my H is going to be thrilled with his stocking this year. Thank you!

[angelashly]

Well I love that I now have lots of hot sauce in a cart.

[pearbear]

I now have some blocks and a lovely serving board coming my way thanks to swellist husband. The serving board is going to be perfect for our Christmas day charcuterie board that H and I munch on all day.
