This has been such a crazy year for everyone, but especially small businesses. When it comes to Christmas shopping it’s more important than ever to support small business! Amazon is great for a lot of things, but they haven’t struggled during the pandemic at all. Your dollar spent with a small business goes so much farther. There’s a real person seeing your order, doing a lil happy dance, and packaging it up with love. So if you can, consider buying some of your gifts from a small business this year!
I’ve put together a few of my favorite small shops for bullet journalers and creatives that have some great Christmas gift options. Of course this isn’t a complete list of all the great small shops out there, so feel free to leave some of your favorites in the comments!

Maisie Lane Co
Maisie Lane Co is a brand new bullet journal shop! They offer personalized bullet journals with 160gsm and 190 pages. All personalizations are done by hand, and they are absolutely gorgeous. She also has some of the cutest washi tape and stickers. She’s always adding new seasonal designs!
A personalized bullet journal would be such a unique gift for someone, even if they have other (non-personalized) journals. You can even select an eco-friendly gift box at checkout to make it extra special.

Audrey Okeya
Audrey Okeya is one of my favorite sticker shops and she recently switched over from Etsy to her own website! She has the best sticker sheets, and she just started selling washi tape! I’m such a sucker for cute washi tape.
The packaging it so cute! I think that one of the best parts about shopping small is the care that goes into the little details. She even throws in lil freebies! This would be a fun gift for the bullet journaler in your life, but you probably should go ahead order some stickers for yourself too!
*The washi tape is sold out at the time I’m writing this, but she will be restocking so be sure to check her shop!
Archer and Olive
This shouldn’t be a surprise. I recommend Archer and Olive all the time, because I love everything they make. They make some of the best, high quality products that would make great gifts. Of course you can’t go wrong with a bullet journal, but this year I recommend getting some Acrylograph Pens. Whether you’re buying for a bullet journaler, artist, or stationery addict- they are going to love them. They’re a new kind of paint pen and have been an amazing edition to my pen collection. Another fun option is a kraft paper bullet journal!
You can use the code RAE10 to save 10% on your Archer & Olive order. Check out my acrylograph pen review and my bullet journal review.
Rae’s Daily Page Shop
Of course I have to mention my own shop! I started Rae’s Daily Page nearly two years ago, but I launched my shop in August of this year. It started with just a digital calligraphy guide, and I’ve slowly been adding more products. I’m now offering a calligraphy guide kit that is the perfect gift for any creative person. Learning calligraphy has been such an amazing thing in my life, and my guide shares my styles and my best tips. The calligraphy kits comes with a calligraphy guide, two Tombow Dual Brush Pens, and a Tombow Fudenosuke pen. It comes all wrapped up with a personalized gift tag and ready to gift!
