Find wonderful small businesses to support this Shop Small Saturday.
As a small business owner, I love championing other independent shops. I use my time, influence, and dollars to support makers and entrepreneurs because they are the heartbeat of our neighborhoods and local economy. When you choose to shop small, you help families, preserve craftsmanship, and keep unique products in circulation.
I’ll be sharing my favorite finds throughout the day on Instagram stories, so follow along for real-time ideas and recommendations.
Every visit to this blog, every click, and every purchase matters to small-business owners like me. Your support helps pay for family needs, extracurricular activities, and the little extras that create lasting memories. Thank you for supporting independent creators and retailers—your choices make a real difference.
My Favorite Small Shops
My Printables Shop – Last year I launched a collection of printable products and the response has been incredible. These digital planners and seasonal printables are designed to be practical and beautiful for busy families.

Emily Ley (Simplified Planners) – I’ve used Simplified Planners for years and they’ve become central to my daily routines. Their planners are well-designed, easy to use, and help me stay focused on priorities. I wrote a detailed review of how I use them on the blog.
Beddy’s – We love Beddy’s zippered bedding for loft and bunk beds. The design makes bed-making quick and stress-free—perfect for busy families. Right now they’re offering a special Shop Small discount and seasonal promotions, so it’s a great time to check them out. See my full review for details and photos of our setup.
Amanda Owens Art – Amanda is a gifted watercolor artist who paints homes, historic doors, and seasonal pieces. Her custom home portraits make thoughtful, personal gifts, and her series of door paintings is a favorite for collectors of unique, handmade art.
Lindsay Letters – Lindsey creates beautiful typographic and abstract prints that work well for every room. Her art is versatile, seasonal, and makes easy, stylish gifts for friends and family.
Cultivate What Matters (Power Sheets & Write the Word Journals) – I discovered Power Sheets in 2018 and found them transformative for goal setting. The process encourages thoughtful reflection and consistent progress. The Write the Word journals are simple, focused tools for daily devotions and journaling. Both products are well-suited to anyone wanting intentional planning and spiritual growth.
Antique Candle Co. – This small candle maker in Indiana hand-pours scented candles with care. I met the owner this summer and was touched by her mission and attention to quality. Their candles make excellent hostess gifts and are a lovely way to support a local maker.
Ruggable – Washable rugs have been a game changer in high-traffic areas like the kitchen. Ruggable’s two-piece system is practical and stylish, ideal for homes with kids and pets.
Mama Needs Box – Created by a friend, this subscription box is designed for moms who need a little intentional self-care. Each month centers on a theme and arrives with curated items to help moms rest, celebrate, and recharge.
Laurel Browning Art – Laurel’s paintings capture southern scenes and seasonal moments with a fresh perspective. I have several of her pieces in my home; they bring warmth and character and are often sold through local shops and her online store.
Sweet Pineapple – If you live near Huntsville, Alabama, Sweet Pineapple is my go-to gift shop. They curate unique finds, including artwork and boutique items that make memorable gifts.
Matilda Jane – This clothing brand offers whimsical, high-quality styles for girls (and matching mama pieces). Their designs celebrate childhood and are a lovely choice for gifting and everyday wear—especially when you want outfits that feel special.
Shopping small offers more than a product: it supports people, ideas, and local economies. Whether you choose a custom watercolor, a hand-poured candle, a practical planner, or a thoughtfully curated subscription box, every purchase helps sustain creativity and family livelihoods. Happy shopping—and thank you for supporting small businesses!
