This holiday season, instead of going to shop at a big corporation, try to shop small and support your local businesses! When shopping with small businesses, you are directly supporting a small business owner and the creations they make. Isabella Ceja, founder of Bella’s Hand Made Bling (https://www.instagram.com/bellashandmadebling/?igshid=1k9rgb9ipyuxi), explains how important it is to shop small for the holidays. “Small businesses put so much more time, effort, creativity and love into their products. If you go and buy jewelry from a big chain such as Target, the most personalized thing you would get is your receipt,” Ceja said. “When I make my jewelry, I make it custom to your order and what you want. My jewelry also comes packaged with a personalized note that I hand write for my customers.”
