a lonestar state of southern

It’s taken me a bit longer than I anticipated to put this together, but today I am happy to share a gift guide that is very special to me!

Here’s the best part: This roundup of small businesses was submitted by you, and several of them are businesses that you own and operate! To say I have the best community here might a huge understatement. Some of these small businesses were already ones I know and love, and others were new to me. Guys, I am so impressed with you. I think my Christmas wish list doubled in size after browsing through all the incredible products and services you all create – lookout, Andrew!

Even if you’ve already checked off everyone on your list, please take a moment to browse the small business glossary anyway. So many would be perfect for birthdays, treat yourself moments and other celebrations all year long!

Alright, I’ll try to scale back my “proud stage mom” self – lets’s dive in!
