Don’t worry even if you skipped Black Friday to succumb to your post-turkey coma you can still get a good deal! Small business are often seen as having inferior service and having higher price points but in my experience that’s not always true. Many business owners are tapping into digital resources to shave costs and passing that savings onto their customers! And unlike huge national retailers small businesses offer uniquely curated goods and services that you won’t see everywhere else on the internet.

I’ve rounded up some of my favorite places to #shopsmall so you can check them out!
