my favorite small businesses for holiday gifts

There are several small businesses that I’ve fallen in love with over the years. I want to highlight them this week in case you would like to ‘shop small’ for your holiday gifts.

Small Businesses for Holiday Gifts:

  1. Isbell Family Films. Kalee and her team truly work magic with the video clips from your phone. She can take your everyday footage and create a beautiful keepsake film your entire family will love.

  2. Projector. Sticking with the video theme, I’m such a huge fan of the Projector service. Robert and his team built a service to address the long-time pain point of making our personal videos accessible on our TVs. Projector is like a personal Netflix. Load your personal videos (as many as you want!) and it’s simple to navigate on your TV. Easy for all ages. Save 40% on your subscription with code HOLIDAY40 until 12/31/24.

  3. Flecks of Gold Journal. This journal is going to be my New Years resolution for 2025. I’ve recommended it for years, but it’s time to put my own pen to paper and start documenting these little moments. I think this makes a beautiful gift for a mother in your life, of any age. I only wish I’d started using it earlier. Save 10% with code MISSFREDDY10.

  4. Color Guru. Getting my colors done 4 years ago changed everything about the way I shopped and simplified my closet SO much. I started trying (and loving!) colors I previously hadn’t worn and dressing in colors that were so much more flattering. I only wish I’d had this information when I was younger. I’ve gifted this service to many people over the years. It’s so fun! Save 10% with code MISSFREDDY.

  5. Loopy. I’ve owned a Loopy phone case since my iPhone 6! I found them on kickstarted and have loved watching them grow. Makes a great holiday gift because once you discover Loopy, you never go back to a regular phone case. Code MISSFREDDY10 saves 10% off.
