Creatives That Rock: Shop Small Business Saturday

Small businesses are big business in our country. They provide 55% of all jobs and 66% of all new jobs since the 1970's (via SBV.gov). $5.5 Billion was spent on Small Business Saturday last year alone(via forbs.com )! This is great for our economy and our friends and neighbors!

Small Business Saturday is a response to the Black Friday push by big retailers. Many of your friends and family have small businesses. By purchasing from them you are not only pumping money back into the economy but you are supporting people to do what they love!

I have highlighted some great finds for your shopping pleasure and you don't even have to leave your home! Also, remember these come direct from the artist, so don't hesitate to request a special order! Time to find that holiday gift that is truly one-of-a-kind!
