Although Black Friday, the weekend-long sales event of the season, generally revolves around big name brands like Amazon, Walmart, and Target, there are a slew of small businesses that are equally worth supporting—especially during the upcoming Small Business Saturday on Nov. 23. These online shops are some of our favorite places to pick up gifts, kitchen accoutrements, and locally made food and drink items year-round. Here are our picks for all of the things we hope to snatch up during Small Business Saturday.
