They make such high-quality wood items. Both our kids have name trains from there and the quality is just outstanding! They are family owned and operated. :)<br /> <a href="https://www.maplelandmark.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.maplelandmark.com</a></p> <p>If you're into abstract art...I LOVE this UK-based artist. I actually follow her on Instagram too and she's really prolific. I love her style and watching her grow her business!<br /> <a href="https://www.emmahowell.co" rel="nofollow">https://www.emmahowell.co</a></p> <p>For runners (or walkers or just exercise enthusiasts in general!) there is a great local shop in my city that ships nationwide. Sure, you can get these exact brands online, but it's awesome to support a small business that was actually started by a runner who wanted to enrich his community! This business also supports races and community-building efforts all throughout the year which is so cool!<br /> <a href="https://www.johnsrunwalkshop.com/shop" rel="nofollow">https://www.johnsrunwalkshop.com/shop</a></p> <p>This is a local jeweler in my city (and her husband owns the MOST amazing African restaurant!) - I really like her work!

I'd love to shop at some of these places rather than spending it all at Amazon. </p>
