Small Business Gift Guide

Hello and welcome to your ultimate small business gift guide! Here at Her Adventures we are all about gift ideas from women-owned small businesses. I’m super excited about gifting. This year, holiday season seems to be one bright thing to look forward to.
Can’t go the malls and stores to pick your gifts? I have a whopper of a suggestion. What if I tell you that you can buy and send gifts to your friends and loved ones from the safety of your home? Move over mass market Amazon and the like. I have some gift ideas from women-owned small businesses. You get to choose from unique gift options and there is a great value add too: you help an entrepreneur in these challenging times!

Zabette has some amazing clothes, face masks and travel accessories, and they make perfect gifts. I  absolutely love the jet set go kit she has. It’s  a perfect gift for any girl. The kit contains a wristlet, a face mask, and eye mask, a scrunchie and a pen.

She also stocks some beautiful tote bags.

There’s More to Come!

While I still have loads of gift ideas from women-owned small businesses that I will be sharing soon, I would like to emphasise here, that at the heart of gifting is the thought itself.

The Art of Gifting

Many years ago, we were shopping for a birthday gift for my son’s friend. As we walked up and down the aisle looking at the various options, my son said to me “ Mum, Please choose a gift like you would like you were buying it for yourself….and yes, please let it be fun! I want to see him squeal with joy when he unwraps my gift”  Well, truth be told, at that point of time, I had a book titled ‘Increase your General Knowledge’  in my hand! So I would like to share the same advice with you. Gift something you really like and let it be fun! After all, there is no greater joy than the joy of giving. We hope you enjoyed our small business gift guide!
