Favorite Small Business Teacher Shops

No one knows what teachers want like other teachers.

I'm a big fan of supporting small businesses. Especially small, woman-owned businesses. You know that when you are supporting them, you are helping to put food on their table, send their kids to swim lessons, and sometimes, in really special circumstances, helping them to be able to stay home with their own kids. Below is a list of some of my favorite small businesses. I love each for different reasons, but mostly. because they are run by the sweetest humans who hustle hard to hand-make items that bring joy to those who purchase them.
