Find new small businesses to support this holiday season in Minnesota!

If you’re anything like me, supporting small businesses is one of my favorite things to do. A local coffee shop, finding a gift for a loved one, or grabbing a new piece of home decor for our house or cabin. But you know what’s even more important? Supporting woman, bipoc, and lgbtq owned small businesses. Here’s an epic list of small businesses to check out this holiday season and beyond! I’ll continue adding as I discover new places.
