Small Business Gift Guide - Wren + Harry Design

I am SO SO SO excited to introduce you to my 2020 Small Business Gift Guide.

I have had this idea for a few years in a row and always put it off for “next year!” This year, I decided no excuses – I am going to make it happen!

I know so many of us love to shop small this time of year and I wanted to make it easy. I created categories so you know exactly what to get everyone in your life! Enjoy + thank you for shopping small!

FOR THE GIVER

There are some people in your life that don’t want anything or LOVE to give back. This is the perfect opportunity to make a difference and give them a gift that will warm their heart! Here are two local non-profits that are making a difference in our community and deserve all the love + attention they can get!

Here at **Happily Ever After Farm** we are giving animals destined for slaughter, a safe place to call home. My dream Is to make this world a better place for animals and children to grow up in.

FOR THE FASHION LOVER

We all know + love one or two of them! They’re always dressed adorably… even in sweat pants! Help them discover new small business boutiques + stay in style!

**Thread & Root Clothing Co.** was established in 2019 through a common found love of fashion and style between mother and daughter. Ever since Thread and Root was a simple thought our mission was clear. To drive and inspire women of all ages to be comfortable and confident in their own skin. The age difference between my mom and I has given us the tools to provide functional, cute, and stylish clothing for all ages. All of our love and hearts go into Thread and Root, and we hope you enjoy the pieces that were purposely hand picked with you in mind.
