This year I am doing more small business purchases, especially during Covid. I want to make sure I support smaller businesses because they need the moolah most. The big businesses are doing good. Amazon doesn’t need any more money but the smaller companies do. I want to showcase the 5 businesses I’m purchasing from on etsy this year and I hope that you check them out and make a purchase yourself. Let’s have an Etsy merry Christmas and an Etsy new year lol.

Have an Etsy Merry Christmas

Herbz and Tingz – This is the shop that you want to have in rotation on etsy. Especially during the winter months. I am a huge fan of elderberry and they make it from scratch with natural ingredients. I’ve bought a few things from this shop and it’s well worth the money. Also it’s owned by our youth. Make sure you support them!

Uniquely bath company – Sells the best smell goods eva. I bought my daughter a set for Christmas but we couldn’t wait to open it. I used it and I had to buy another set asap lol. The Jamaican one smells heavenly. I use it all the time and it hasn’t broken my skin out which is a plus.

Lingua Nigra – I love jewelry. And this place has the best handmade ones. As a big girl I was worried about the bracelets because some bracelets don’t go over my arm this one did. I also love that the jewelry didn’t turn which I find a lot of with things that come from Etsy. Well worth the money spent.

Wax and Wool – My son loves candles (he gets it from his mama) so I bought him some men ones because he complains that I always buy the girly smelly ones. I have these under the tree for him and it’s a great gift to give a teenager. He loves to self-care so I thought this would be the perfect gift to give him.

Tea Plus Shade – My favorite shirt shop. I have all of her mugs too and maybe a couple of pins. I don’t think there is anything that I don’t own from here.

Reloved Lumber – I actually bought a few things from this shop. I have some things that went perfect in my new bathroom and when I redid my laundry room this one was a must-have. Very good quality and people love the sayings!

These are just a few of my favorite things. All things that are listed I purchased on my own and nothing was given as a gift. All photos came from the websites of the companies. *links are affiliate*

When shopping at etsy I always look for the reviews first. Then after going through the reviews I map out other shops similar to see which one is closer to see how long it will take to ship and get to me if I need it in a timely manner. Etsy is a treasure trove of items that can fit any need and I love supporting small businesses via Etsy. What are some of your favorite shops on etsy? Let me know in the comments below so I can check them out.
