Feliz Thanksgiving or Thursday! Hope you’re having a wonderful day! If you’re spending it with loved ones or just choosing it to spend it loving yourself either one is amazing. Here’s a little gift guide if you’ll be spending some of that time shopping when you should be shopping small! On my site! I made a gift guide composed of my favorite fellow small business that I either shop, I am either in their shops, I’d like to be in their shops or I believe in their missions and think you should be supporting them too! Eventually this list will have a permanent spot on my site with more cohesive descriptions but we were in a rush and just wanted to get the info out there to you and make sure you follow them, double check the spelling I think I fumbled a few but check them out for some sales this weekend!! And if they don’t have sales still support them! And there’s still many I missed. They will feel the impact more than big business! Follow me on my site, sign up for the newsletter so you can get the gift guide newsletter for the future and find out what other gift guides I landed in this year and my small business Saturday sale! #smallbusinesssaturday #shopsmall #sokoni @shopsokoni @smlbizmajority #thanksgiving #holidays #mentalhealth #selfcare
