With many modern social media platforms, smaller businesses are able to branch out their brands for people looking for inexpensive, but adorable products.

Why You Should Support Small Businesses
Especially during this pandemic, smaller companies are struggling to make an income. Millions of Americans are applying for unemployment benefits due to having no job anymore.
Supporting these smaller businesses help others stay financially stable, but also you receive items made from the heart.
Each of these shops sells handmade products which are way more unique and special than an item coming from a huge factory.
Plus, it's super inexpensive! What a steal.
