Finding the perfect gift is such a great feeling. I know I get so excited and can’t wait to see their reaction when they open it. Sometimes I have a hard time waiting and just want to give it to them right away!
Here are some small businesses I’ve shared in the past with items to choose from that will make anyone, and everyone, so very happy. And who knows, you might even find a thing or two for yourself as well!
Kozan: I’ve shared clothes by Kozan a number of times and when you see all the incredible styles, you can understand why I’m in love with this brand. I was really lucky this year to be able to attend Coterie, as I was invited by Kozan, and had the pleasure of meeting Melis, the founder/designer, as well as some of her staff. This made me love them even more as they were the kindest and most real women.
Whenever I put on something from Kozan I feel wonderful. The saying “look good, feel good” is so true with Kozan! So if you want to make someone look and feel good check out some the boutiques where Kozan is available:
Tesslo: Designs by Tesslo make such a statement! If you’re looking for clothes for someone who likes to stand out, Tesslo is the place to shop. Custom made, avant-garde designs, Tessy, the Creative Director/Founder, uses rich colors and textures in her designs. Everything she creates is a show stopper as she is truly an artist. Are you going someplace special for the holidays? Out for New Years Eve? Just want to wear something gorgeous? Tesslo can create that for you!
Komil: Komil tops are probably one of the most versatile parts of my wardrobe. I love pairing them with my summer dresses as a way to transition them to colder weather. They’re also perfect with jeans, skirts, pretty much anything and everything. They’re available in so many beautiful patterns and styles that you’ll be able to find something different for everyone on your list. And who knows, you may even find a few for yourself as well!
W.O.W.: Erica, the owner of W.O.W. has amazing taste and a great eye for what would look good on someone. She sent me a box and I loved every outfit and felt great in each one! She carries a variety of brands including Kozan, Alembika, Pret-A-Porter, Anna Perena, Kaziuki, Atelier Anica and so many more. Reach out to Erica on Instagram and let her know what you’re looking for and she will find the perfect gift for you to give.
@byenisat: These days most stores charge for bags so it’s easier to bring your own and why not do so in style! Enisa designs the prettiest totes in beautiful patterns. I love the crossbody tote she designed. Since moving to the city I find myself using crossbody bags more often and having a crossbody tote makes carrying groceries much easier. It really is a genius idea! Enisa has many different designs available so you’ll be able to find a tote, purse, carryon, something for everyone!
Margaritiferra: Hand knit sweaters made of mohair or angora are always a treat and those created by Margaritiferra are simple beautiful. Soft, well made, and available in a variety of colors, these sweaters will warm the heart and body of all. Shawls, hats, scarves, and dickies are also available made from the finest yarns and with outstanding craftsmanship. Use the code diaryboredhousewife for 10% off your custom order!
Olive Lou: These bracelet hair ties are perfect stocking stuffers or if you need a small gift for someone. But their messages of positivity are anything but small. Let someone know you love them, they are strong, they are valued—so many positive messages available these bracelet hair ties will bring a smile to the face of all who receive them!
Check back soon as I’ve got some more great businesses for you to shop!
I love shopping in small businesses you definitely get those one-of-a-kind special pieces that you can’t find in the bigger stores.
Rena, You’re so right! It’s fun to find something different and know you won’t see it on everyone else! Plus I feel good knowing it’s helping someone who is working to grow their business! Please share any great small businesses you love! Thanks, Michele
Absolutely stunning and unique pieces of course they would make wonderful gifts for friends and if your like me, I treat myself during the holidays. Cute hair ties too.
Hi Nancy,
It’s so good to hear that I’m not alone in treating myself as I buy for others!! lol
The hair ties are so great. They’ve really been nice when I have a family member or friend who’s going through a tough time. I’ve given them a saying that will help them at the moment and also remind them of how strong they are, how much they’re loved, etc.
These small businesses are so fantastic. I’d be happy to receive anything from any of them and will feel good gifting from them as well!
Thanks for reading!
