This holiday season, more than ever before, it's important to shop small and support your favorite local businesses. The pandemic has taken a hit on almost everyone whether it be emotionally, physically, mentally, or financially. One way we can lift each other up during this time is by using our money as our vote for what we want to support in this world. By shopping small, you're voting for families to thrive and communities to flourish. Below are just a handful of our favorite small businesses to shop at. Check them out, give them a follow, and get your holiday shopping done!
Clothing
We found this store on a complete whim while on a Mother Daughter trip to Nashville last month. Located on the iconic 12 South street, this little store has all our favorite brands from Ulla Johnson to LoveShackFacy to Pistola. Although these brands can be pricey, we also found a some GREAT steals from Emerson Grace.
A true California Lifestyle boutique, Sugar is one of our FAVORITE village staples. When COVID first hit and the lockdowns went into place, Sugar was our go to to keep on shopping! Not only are the clothes chic and cute, but the people who work at Sugar are so insanely nice, helpful, and fashion-forward that you can't help but keep wanting to go in.
Walking into Hiptique feels like you're walking into a dream vacation home. Located in the Trancas shopping center in Malibu, Hiptique is a one-of-a-kind lifestyle boutique. We love how they highlight up and coming designers and really encompass the beautiful beach chic style.
Gift Store
Like we always say, we LOVE a monogrammed gift here at The Chambers Collective. Mono Mia is the perfect place for that! A gift shop up in Sacramento, CA, Mono Mia is a one-stop shop for all personalized and unique gifts. A few of our favorite products are the customized tumblers and college throw pillows!
Kitson was one of my very first store obsessions. When I envisioned a store that would immediately make me "cool" and "trendy" as a young 12 year old, I completely envisioned Kitson. As a celebrity hot spot in LA, Kitson is the true stop for pop-culture enthusiasts. What we love is how it has everything from luxury products to humorous gifts to pop-culture references to unique fashion staples.
Hale House is my FAVORITE shop to bring a little of Fort Worth to Westlake Village. They sell everything and more including apparel, jewelry, candles, pillows, home, gift, and accesories. You really can't find a store like this in Westlake. With a fun, young, yet classy style, Hale House has something for any type of woman!
Favor the Kind was a gem find of ours in Dallas. What we later on learned after shopping at Favor the Kind for a few years was that they promote homemade, sustainably produced apparel, gifts, and home items. Hearing this as a customer makes us so so happy! Not only did we find a place with the cutest apparel and gifts, but a place we could feel good shopping at. If you're ever in the Knox/Henderson area you will HAVE to stop in and check it out (you'll fall in love just like we did).
Home
A Beautiful Mess curates one of a kind furnishings, gifts, accessories, and decor. It is a family owned business and exudes class and pride in the little details. As a staple in our community, we could not love it more! Located only 10 miles East of Malibu, California, A Beautiful Mess is owned by Kymberley Fraser who has been in the business for over 21 years and is a true girl boss. She has beautifully operated a creative and versatile home- decor hub.
The Malibu Colony Co. is a locally owned and operated gift shop with more than 25 years in the Malibu community. This is one of our favorite stores in Malibu and the perfect place to pick up a gift for a friend or family member of any kind (plus their gift wrapping is exquisite). Every time I stop in I'm thrilled with the selection items— the bedding, home decor, jewelry, candles and so much much more. The Malibu Colony Co. will quickly become one of your favorite stores too.
With Westlake Village being at a loss for great gift shops, we occasionally run out to Pasadena to a fantastic store called Salutations. A good friend introduced us to it several years ago and it has fast become one of our favorite stores in all of LA. A true gem! This store is owned by a Mother daughter team who's inspiration derives from their Grandmother.

We have been going to Sports LTD for as long as I can remember. This is our GO TO ski shop stop! The things you'll find here aren't what you'll find in your generic sporting goods store... they're better! Carrying all the top brands in the sporting good industry, Sports LTD has been a stand out for all winter and summer sport needs in the community.
