While Black Friday and all its deals are great, another holiday shopping day — Small Business Saturday — is even better. Not only are there great deals but also you’re supporting a local company, which is rewarding in and of itself.
Everyone has that one friend that seems to have everything. Well, one thing they don’t have is jewelry from Clever Bear Leathers. Started by Southlake moms Jaymi Bear and Chelsea Salomone, Clever Bear Leathers sells stylish earrings, bracelets and necklaces. They also have holiday collections if you want to really get into the spirit this season and you can really show your support for Carroll athletics with their Southlake Carroll collection.
Another local jewelry shop to support is Heart of Joy Bracelets. This shop, which can be found on Etsy, specializes in a variety of beaded bracelets using natural materials. With a variety of colors available, you’re sure to find a perfect gift for someone or for yourself! And if you want to show school spirit, Heart of Joy Bracelets has Dragon-themed bracelets for sale. There’s no better way to get a gift than to get a gift from a small business so head over to Heart of Joy Bracelets’ Etsy shop and purchase your favorite bracelets!
If you want a gift that will last a long time, consider booking a photography session with Twenty-Three Photography! Located in Colleyville, the owner Alicia, is an air force veteran who opened Twenty-Three Photography in 2013 under the name A Little Love Photography. Alicia offers senior, newborn, littles, couples, family and boudoir sessions so there is no limit to what you want photographed. Whether you want to book those holiday photos and get the senior photos done early, Twenty-Three Photography is a great option!
Looking great is so easy especially with The Brow Boutique. This local business specializes in facial waxing, brows and lash lifts. If holiday photos are something you are doing this season, consider going to The Brow Boutique beforehand to ensure you look your best. The Brow Boutique is also super user-friendly with online scheduling and a photo gallery for you to peruse prior to your appointment.
Another fantastic small business to support on Small Business Saturday is The Gatehouse Fine Jewelers. They have a variety of jewelry from bracelets and necklaces to men’s jewelry and engagement rings. Another reason to shop at The Gatehouse is that 50% of all their profits go to The Gatehouse Community — a living community for women in crisis to receive refuge and resources to help give them a fresh start.
If minimalist jewelry is more your style, there is a shop for that! Heidy Henke Designs is an Etsy shop that specializes in delicate and minimalist earrings and necklaces. Some of the designs include gemstone or circle necklaces and teardrop or oval earrings. The classic styles of the jewelry are only made better by the fact that Heidy Henke Designs is a small business so check them out and place your order!
