Gift Ideas From Small Businesses (That Are In Stock)

I keep getting gift guides from some of my favorite people, but when I see something I like it’s already sold out. I decided to find some of my favorites on ETSY. ETSY is really a collection of small businesses where you can ACTUALLY CORRESPOND with the person that is selling you the stuff; Not going to happen with most online stores.

I choose every product I review. I may earn an affiliate commission if you buy from one of the product links, at no extra cost to you. This income supports this site. See the full disclosure.

Acacia Charcuterie Board – This seller has lots of cool wood pieces, so click through to their store, they have 5-star reviews.
Pet mug – Comes in a variety of colors and two sizes. You can put more than one pet on your mug. You email a photo of your pet after you place the order.
Leather Tote – This tote comes with lots of different options, different colors, sizes, pockets or no pockets, a zipper (which I really like) and a longer strap option. It’s also a 5-star seller.
Decanter – This shop also has some really unique wine glasses if you have a wine lover on your list.
Wine Stand – I like that this has room for snacks, glasses and a wine opener.
Pressed Floral Bookmark – This item can be customized. You can add a name and or just flowers. A great gift for a book lover.
Olive Oil Cruet – These are so gorgeous. You could give them with a great bottle of olive oil. The seller is in Canada, but I’ve ordered many things from sellers outside the US with no problem.
Wood charging station – I want this one for my self. It’s so pretty.
Straw Bag – ETSY has a great selection of unique baskets. As a gift, I don’t like to give anything too large. A straw bag can be used for so many things, groceries, a purse, a tote.
Turkish towels can be used in so many different ways. You can use them as bath towels, throw blankets, or a picnic blanket. They are so soft and you can get them in any color and even with customization. You can get a hand towel size, a napkin size or blanket/towel size.

I hope this inspires you to go search for gifts on ETSY, where you are most likely buying from a small local business. The world of online shopping doesn’t have to be limited to the giants. There’s enough time before Christmas to wait a little longer for something unique.
