Shop small for Christmas❤

This year, I have been able to do a majority of my shopping from small shops! I am definitely not at 100% by any means, but little changes are good too. It can be hard to know which shops are reputible--especially in the wooden toy world, so here is a list of some of my favorites! (includes affiliate links at no cost to you)

Loog Guitars

 Well Made 3 stringed guitars that sound AMAZING. I haven't gifted ours yet, but I played with it and I was very impressed. They make guitars for older kids as well. *There was a strong paint smell with ours, so be sure to open and let it off gas before gifting. Don't forget to order your guitar strap (like I did)

RoseBud Toy Co

They gifted us their Galaxy Ball run and gem blocks, and oh my goodness- AMAZING. Keep an eye on this shop- I think they may be the next big Etsy success! 

Freckled Fawn Botique

Another fun small etsy shop; we were gifted their peg set and felt playscape set. (photos coming if my daughter can stop getting sick!) The peg set is sweet, but is definitely a choking hazard for younger kids. I really like the felt play mats for the animal sets!

Two websites, the same company- many practical life items and Montessori aligned toys. I love knowing that all of the items are going to be small enough for my daughter to use.
