In all the excitement around the holiday season and the great deals from major retailers, it’s important to remember to shop small and local whenever and wherever possible. Luckily, Amazon has teamed up with Kristin Cavallari to highlight small businesses, independent makers, creatives, innovators, and small shops, perfect for everyone on your list — for her and for him.

The entrepreneur, TV host, author, and mother of three is a small business owner whose very own Uncommon James collection is sold on the online retailer, so she knows how significant it is for the more than 500,000 independent selling partners — most of which are small and medium-sized businesses — to sell on Amazon and have the opportunity to reach hundreds of millions of customers, establish their brands, grow sales, and create jobs. “As an entrepreneur myself, I know how meaningful and special it is to support small businesses on Amazon because these entities are dealing with blood, sweat, and tears, and the holiday season can make a huge difference for them,” Cavallari says. “Once businesses get to a certain level, they’re just seen as a machine, and a shopper isn’t necessarily making a difference in someone’s life by purchasing through a major retailer like they would if they mindfully supported a small business that is hustling and grinding.” So if you’re looking to be a more conscious shopper while also benefitting from convenience, Amazon has got your back.

For Cavallari, shopping with small businesses on Amazon has proven to be both a time-saving and impactful way to shop for holiday gifts for her whole family, and she’s teamed up with the e-retailer to highlight small companies and curate a gift guide. “When creating my gift guide, I wanted shoppers to look at it and be able to find something for everyone on their list — from their mom to kids and everyone in between,” Cavallari says. “I also made sure to pick products from all different brands so shoppers can support various communities.”

So keep scrolling to check out her small business picks this year, with everything from the best pampering ideas to beauty stocking stuffers. Plus, be sure to keep Cavallari’s number one holiday shopping tip top of mind — “Because I have three kids and like to put my time and energy into buying them gifts, I try to find one universal gift and, for the most part, gift it to everyone — with a few exceptions — to make my life easier. Some things I’ve done in the past are subscriptions like coffee or wine — something I know everyone will love. If I can simplify any areas in my busy life, I’m all for it.”

Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug

Cavallari is a self-proclaimed coffee drinker, so she knows a thing or two about gifting the coffee lover in your life. This Cavallari-approved mug makes an excellent gift because it’s equal parts functional and impressive. It’s ceramic, temperature-controlled, and comes in matte black, red, and white for perfectly warm beverages all season long.

Bertello Outdoor Pizza Oven

This holiday season, the one item on top of Cavallari’s list is Bertello’s Pizza Oven. “Bertello’s pizza oven is black and chic, and who wouldn’t love a pizza oven,” Cavallari says. “It has a high price tag, but I wanted to include a splurge item, so if a shopper wanted to purchase a really nice gift for someone, they could use my gift guide to check that off their list.” It uses charcoal, wood, pellets, and/or a gas burner and comes with an oven, gas burner, pizza peel, a wood tray for the gas burner, a cover, and a thermometer.
