Receiving gifts is cool, but have you ever given someone a hyper-unique and niche gift that you bought from an independent artist who poured their whole heart into making products just for you? Your heart will grow six sizes knowing that you helped a creative continue their dream and didn't give a dime to the demon that is Jeff Bezos. I created this list of ultra giftable goodies from some of my favorite small businesses and no I will not judge you if you buy all of the things for yourself.
