When you do your holiday shopping this year, please consider shopping small, sustainable and ethically sourced. I know for many, shopping small is a luxury — however — there are some incredible sales happening on Black Friday through Cyber Monday. It’s the best time to shop small and score a deal. Whether you’re buying Christmas and / or Hanukkah gifts entirely from small business, or you’re only able to buy one gift from a small business — you’re making an impact for the greater good.
With that said, please enjoy these incredible discounts from some of my favorite small businesses. They’re all BIPOC-owned, and all women-owned (with exception to one).
Almost all the small businesses listed below are offering free shipping when you purchase a certain amount. Now, get your discounted holiday shopping on!
Eighth Generation
Eighth Generation is a Native-owned company (Snoqualmie Tribe). They create the most gorgeous wool blankets, scarves, socks, and a variety of textiles and fine art. Everything is created by “inspired Natives, and not by “Native inspired” appropriators. Real talk: when I see so many people rave about Pendleton, my eyes roll in disgust. If you’re gonna appreciate Native designs, do good and purchase from 100% Native owned and designed.
Eighth Generation is offering 15% off their entire site for Black Friday. The discount will apply through Monday, Nov. 30 (aka Cyber Monday).
The Lip Bar
Oh, luscious Lip Bar, how I love thee! From the best lip gloss selections to eye shadow, lipstick and more — this Black women owned company is also cruelty-free, vegan, made from natural ingredients and loaded with pigment to make those lips stand out!
The Lip Bar is offering 40% off their entire site for Black Friday, with Fast Face Fits at $79. Sale ends at midnight! Keep an eye out for Cyber Monday!
Lil’ Libros
My daughter has been flipping the picture book pages of Lil’ Libros since she was an infant. She has quite the collection and we most recently added La Vida de Walter (Mercado), VÁMONOS: Lima and La vida de Celia (Cruz). We love their bold colors and English / Spanish translations. Honoring our diverse Latin culture, Lil’ Libros is Latina-owned. ¡Eso!
Lil’ Libros is offering 40% off their entire site for Black Friday, with the following discount code: THANKS20. The discount will apply through Monday, Nov. 30 (aka Cyber Monday).

Lovin’ the spiritual magical vibes from Moon Love Bath. With silky body butters, illustrious milk baths, adorable bath bombs and more — Moon Love Bath is Black woman owned. Get your self-care on with their soy candles or Magic Girl whipped soap. Special for the holidays, Moon Love Bath has some amazing Harry Potter-inspired bundles.

Art Andina
Since indigenous designs are on trend (again), I must give a shout out to my own Andean roots. Art Andina’s shop carries the most adorable toddler ponchos. I have a few Andean alpaca ponchos that I purchased while visiting family in Peru, and of course I had to get my daughter one so she can match mama! Art Andina is owned by a woman with her motherland being Ecuador. They also carry beautiful wool blankets, scarves, linens and more.
