Support small businesses with these 25 items from Etsy

Small businesses are struggling during the pandemic, and now, more than ever, is a good time to purchase from those we love. Etsy is the internet’s foremost organizer of brilliant small businesses and independent artists, with everything from touching jewelry and chic linen blouses to desk organizers and art that will blow your mind.

We’ve rounded up our favorite independent boutiques, in no particular order. It should be noted that many of these likely have the graduation, Father’s Day, or just today-in-quarantine gift you’re seeking for someone special — or yourself.
