10 Local & Small Business Gifts to Surprise Your Loved Ones This Holiday Season
The spirit of Christmas is here! With that comes gift giving! Maybe you are someone who does all your shopping throughout the year and feels massively prepared for all the festivities in plenty of time. Or, maybe you are always scrambling at the end trying to tie up loose ends (literally) to make sure you’ve checked everyone off your list (twice).
Regardless, seeing someone light up when you present a gift you put time and effort into, whether it was something they had been wanting or something sentimental, is life giving. The spirit of giving really is in the heart of the giver.
However, I know that finding meaningful gifts can be hard! It is not always easy to buy for every person on your list. You want it to be heartfelt and meaningful, but sometimes those ideas just don’t flow. Anyone can order one of the top gifts off Amazon or Target’s gift guides, but when you want to get something unique and special, it makes it a little more tricky!
I want to offer you some fun, practical, small business ideas to get your juices flowing to find meaningful gifts for everyone on your list.
Family Photo Session
You know I had to! This is a perfect gift for your mom, your wife, or an upcoming flight school grad! Photos allow you to capture moments in time and I’m not sure there’s many better gifts than that! I even offer gift cards!
Layflat or Heirloom Album
If you've done a shoot with me, I’d love to design an album for you to gift a family member (or yourself!). I take care of the whole process for you! If you’d prefer to do it yourself, Artifact Uprising is my top recommendation.
Custom Wood Frames & Canvases
An all time favorite place of mine to order photos from is Smallwoods. Their unique wood frames and hanging canvases are not only gorgeous, but affordable as well!
Luster Prints
The more traditional printing route. Order directly from me in your photo gallery, or through Mpix!
