I’ve always love supporting small businesses, but now that spooky szn and cozy szn are here, I may have gone a little overboard with my purchases. I’m excited to show you on the blog everything I got when it all gets here, but I wanted to highlight some stores today so you have time to order things before Halloween. There is just something about buying a product that you know was handmade by someone because it’s their passion project. Personally, I am trying to become more crafty, I’ve been sending more letters and packages to friends and I have been selling a lot of my clothes secondhand. So I know that a lot goes into the personal touches and presentation when packaging something for someone, and all of these products are just so unique. Check out some of the Etsy shops and small businesses I’m crushing on lately.
Dreamland Candles: I am just so in love with this skull candle I’m holding in the top picture. The detail, color, EVERYTHING is just amazing. I was hunting for a skull candle for Halloween decor and stumbled upon this one on Etsy. Super fast shipping and it came with amazing packaging that included these Halloween wax seals. I am so blown away by this candle. Would highly recommend this shop.
Happenstance Candles: I feel like if I was a candle, I would have one of these cheeky labels. They’re absolutely hilarious and would honestly look great with my signed folklore cd. They tend to go pretty fast when a new drop happens, so hopefully I’ll get one next time!
SlaydenCreations: My best friend Autumn got me this wine glass for my birthday from this shop and it is my favorite thing! So thoughtful and I love all the folklore options. But august is my favorite song on the album so this glass is perfect.
ResinRina: These coasters!!!! I have tried 3 separate times to get one and I have failed miserably. That doesn’t mean I’m going to give up, but it is super hard to get one I must say. They seem worth it though (says everyone who has gotten one). This shop also sells keychains and trays if coasters aren’t your thing!
Moody Studios: My Insta-friend Emma started this shop during quarantine and it is such a vibe! I wear my orange tie-dye face mask all the time and I cannot wait to get my tie dye crewneck in the next few days. Every piece is hand-dyed and there are a bunch of color options. Perfect for cozy nights at home this fall!
DizzyDahlias: I told myself I didn’t need anymore sweatshirts…and then I saw this mirrorball sweatshirt in lavender and I was done for. These embroidered sweatshirts include such great visuals for the folklore album and I think the shop owner is going to do a drop for Lover next!
ClayDustStudio: Words can’t describe how much I love this cat mug. It’s just so magical! I actually found this shop via Twitter. I wasn’t able to get a mug in the latest drop, but I’ve turned on my notifications so hopefully I’ll get one next time. Now that I’m a cat person (lol), this would be really cool to have.
NaturaLee by DMD: I’ve mentioned before how much I love beauty products from NaturaLee. This sun kissed citrus scented sugar scrub works so amazingly for exfoliating my skin. I would recommend this product to anyone and they have new scents this month!
Jane Dottie Vintage: I have to actively stop myself from buying more scrunchies from this shop. I love every single design they make and lately there have been so many fun Halloween and fall patterns. They go fast and aren’t always restocked, so grab the print you want while it’s still around!
DesignsbyBethanyArt: My friend Bethany just started making stickers! How cute are these?! I preordered the “hydrate” and “semi-colon” stickers from her Etsy shop and can’t wait to get them in the mail!
TheTinyVeganCafe: BEST COOKIES EVER! Omg I cannot stop thinking about these cookies. Not only are they vegan, they are literally just this monster of a cookie with seat salt, giant chocolate chunks, pretzel and just overall goodness. Whether you are vegan or not, you will absolutely love these cookies.
Evil Queen: The owner of this small business just announced they are going through a rebrand in the near future and I am so excited for it! I always get my friends these quirky, sassy candles for birthdays and holidays. They have candles for literally every occasion and always smell amazing. Excited to see what’s in store for this shop!
