Supporting Small Businesses During the Holiday Season Matters More Than Ever

The holiday season has a special kind of magic to it, twinkling lights, cozy traditions, family gatherings, and those quiet moments when we pause long enough to feel grateful.
But there’s another layer of meaning tucked inside this season that often goes unseen:

This is the time of year when small businesses feel your support the most.

And for many of us, it’s the season that determines whether we grow, sustain, or struggle.

Your Holiday Purchases Carry Real Weight

When you choose to shop small, whether it’s a gift, a class, a retreat spot, or a new scrapbook tool. You’re doing so much more than checking off a to-do list.

You’re choosing:

• Heart over hurry

• Connection over convenience

• A real person over a faceless corporation

And that choice?
It matters.
Deeply.

For small business owners like me, holiday sales aren’t just numbers.
They’re fuel.
They’re hope.
They’re momentum.
They’re what allow us to keep showing up with creativity, energy, and passion.

Behind Every Small Business Is a Person Who Cares

When someone shops at The Scrapping Studio or any small business. Here’s what it means:

• Someone believes in my work

• Someone values handmade joy

• Someone wants to support a dream

• Someone is helping me create more tutorials, more workshops, more retreats, more inspiration

Every purchase is a little “yes” that tells a small business owner, “Keep going. What you’re doing matters.”

And trust me—we feel it every single time.

The Holiday Season Is Make-or-Break for Many Small Businesses

Large retailers have massive marketing budgets, endless staff, and a cushion to fall back on.
Small businesses? We operate with heart, grit, and the determination to serve our people well.

During the holiday season:

• A single purchase matters

• A shared link matters

• A comment or review matters

• A recommendation to a friend matters

• Showing up matters

It all adds up.

And it all helps local economies, creative communities, and women-owned businesses thrive.

You’re Not Just Supporting a Business. You’re Supporting a Story

When you support small businesses during the holidays, you’re helping write the next chapter of someone’s dream.

Maybe it's a shop owner who wants to expand.
Maybe it's a maker saving up for equipment.
Maybe it's a creative entrepreneur who pours their whole heart into helping others preserve memories, hi, that’s me. 💛

Your support helps keep:

• Craft spaces open

• Creative communities connected

• Local events alive

• Handmade work valued

• Passion-driven businesses growing

This Holiday Season, Your Support Is a Gift Too

Whether you shop with me or with another small business owner, know this:

We appreciate you.
We see you.
And we’re endlessly grateful for you.

Supporting small businesses during the holidays isn’t just about buying gifts—it’s about sustaining the businesses that bring heart, creativity, and connection into the world.

From The Scrapping Studio to your home… thank you for choosing small.
Thank you for choosing local.
Thank you for choosing real people doing work that matters.

Here’s to a holiday season filled with joy, creativity, and community. 🎄✨
