I got this for my almost 6-year-old who is football-obsessed! I know he’ll love football even more when he really gets it.

They have darling pennants for everything from the first day of school to the holidays. The celebration calendar (a yearly calendar to use every single year) would be a great gift to parents or grandparents!

Mayzie Phone Cases

I chose the stamp case and picked stamps from Europe/Italy since I lived there for awhile. They were so easy to work with and my case came so beautifully designed! These cases are not only adorable, but can make such a special gift if you choose flowers/stamps that are significant to the person you’re giving it too.
MARY’S SMALL BUSINESS FAVORITES
VOLO Beauty
- MERRICK – 20% OFF
- VOLO Beauty has the SOFTEST, VERY absorbent hair wrap towels. They are so easy to use, wrap up, and secure into place with the attached elastic band on the back. I wrapped my hair up after my shower and went about doing my beauty routine, and when it was time to dry my hair, it took half the time to blow dry! It was such an easy step to add that saved me so much time.
CorEats
- MERRICK – 10% OFF
- Having both Celiac Disease and Diabetes, I am always on the hunt for gluten free items that are lower in carbs so I can maintain my blood sugars while enjoying a yummy treat. CorEats sent me 4 of her baking mixes, Brownie, Banana Bread/Muffin, Pumpkin Bread/Muffin, and Pancake/Waffle Mix. They were all SO DELICIOUS! I would highly recommend CorEats to anyone who is looking to stock healthy baking mixes in their pantry for an easy, quick, TASTY treat.
WhitneyRain Studio
- MERRICK10 – 10% OFF
- Whitney Rain Studios is incredible art that Whitney has turned into truly one of a kind, special gifts. Whitney is so talented and has such a great eye for beauty that the items she has created for her shop are simply exquisite. With each little package I opened, I would gasp with delight. Her Nativity print is gorgeous, and I love that she turned her artwork into beautiful wrapping paper. But honestly, if you were to ask me to pick a favorite item, I wouldn’t be able to. They are all amazing. You couldn’t go wrong with a single item in her shop.
Grandy Photography
- MERRICK – The class is normally $497 and the discount makes it $347.
- Grandy Photographer was so generous to give me access to her online photography class. I’ve always loved taking pictures and was intrigued by the idea of taking a photography class in the comfort of my own home. The classes are so well organized and easy to reference again and again if you want to go back and focus on something in particular. There are 20 classes total and cover everything from how to organize a photography business, to what gear to purchase, to how to use your camera manually, how to download your photos, how to edit your photos, and on and on. Catherine is a fantastic teacher and there are so many complex things in photography that she makes simple and easy to understand. I would 10/10 recommend this course! Like run! Take advantage of this incredible deal she is offering to Merrick’s Art followers. You will not be dissapointed.
Thank you for sharing small businesses! This year, my family is trying to give more intentional, sustainable gifts. I’m hiring professional tile and grout cleaners to deep clean our kitchen and bathroom floors as a gift to myself and the whole family. I have a few other ideas, but these recommendations might have changed my mind! I love the custom embroidered sweater idea! Will definitely be getting one for my three-year-old. Love these ideas!
You suggested it very well!
