One of the gift guides I love putting together every year is my small business gift guide. As a daughter of two parents who both have owned their own businesses and now owning my own small business, there is no better time to support! This year has been hard on everyone but especially small businesses so please think about shopping in your local downtowns or directly from these small businesses this holiday season!
