We know it's a tad early, but we've got to ask: have you started your holiday list yet? 📝 Don't worry, we've done a little bit of the legwork for you! At Simplified, we like to say that behind every small business, there's a heartbeat. Because when you purchase goods or services from a small boutique, or an Etsy shop, or a Shopify site, that owner can get groceries to feed her kids that night. She can use that money to get hearing aids for her mom, or save up for a business degree, or a new home for her growing family. So this year, Emily's highlighting a few small businesses (most of them women-owned!) that are putting great things into the world—things that are beautiful, or whimsical, or tasty and delicious! Whether you're shopping for your mom, sister, partner, kids, or teachers, you're sure to find a meaningful gift or two that'll help support a small business this holiday season.
