• Someone once told us that when you shop small, you’re paying for a child’s dance lessons or hockey skates. When you shop corporate, you are adding to the wealth of CEOs and stakeholders. As a fellow small business, we feel this deeply, so we wanted to share our love of other small businesses with you as you begin your holiday shopping. We have collected recommendations for every type of gift recipient, from coffee lover to kiddos. Below you’ll find twelve of our favorite small businesses located right here in Minnesota, some local and some further away! These are sure to help you check off each special person on your shopping list this year and maybe even provide some inspo for your own wishlist!
