As we head into the thick of the holiday season, I’m reminded of how important this time of year is for small businesses – many of whom will make up to 60% of their annual sales in this season alone. As a small business myself, I’ve wanted to do more to support those whom I’m surrounded by. I wanted to compile a list of some of my personal favourite, largely female owned, small businesses in hopes that we could all show them some love now and into the future. From home and decor, to fashion and beauty, to kids and babies and beyond, I feel confident you’ll find what you’re looking for somewhere in here. And if you have a small business of your own, or know of one you love, please leave a link in the comments below so we can check them out.

I would also love it if you could pin, bookmark, or share this list with your nearest and dearest so we can make an impact no matter how big or small. My hope is that this particular post can be a permanent resource that we can refer back to time and again. Happy shopping!
