Hope you enjoy this gift guide! With so many small businesses and restaurants suffering in 2020, please consider purchasing from your local small businesses, your favorite bloggers and restaurants. If you’re buying for someone who doesn’t live in the same town as you, ask if they have a favorite restaurant or small business they would like to support in their town. By now, most small businesses have created a way to purchase gift cards or items directly online. This may even save you shipping costs - so it’s a win-win!
I have included some of my favorite bloggers and small businesses that are providing unique items. I hope you use this to get fresh ideas for your gift giving and if you like them, let me know!
p.s. none of these items have affiliate links and go straight to the store page (because I’m apparently not that cool yet :)

TREAT YO ‘SELF

The perfect Weekender
I had my eye on Dagner Dover forever. Their leather purses have pockets for every thing that you carry and their soft bags are no different. I have the XL Duffle bag and have used it on several 2-5 day trips. There are also several add-ons that are smart. The bags come in several colors as well.
Although I’m oldschool
and have a regular coffee maker, I actually got this frother last Christmas and use it atleast once a week. You can froth hot and cold drinks, it cleans relatively easily and it saves me money on my matchas!
