Nine Small Shops To Check Out This Holiday Weekend
The holiday season is here and as you check gifts off of your shopping list, try to shop small! When you shop with a small business, you’re supporting a dream. This shopping weekend is one of the biggest for small businesses, so if you’re in the market for some magically-inspired gifts I’ve got you covered! I’m sharing nine of my favorite small shops that offer a pinch of pixie dust in every product.
Spinning Carousel Company
This first shop is one of the newest in the line-up and happens to be my own small business! My best friend and business partner Josie Maida and I launched Spinning Carousel Company a few weeks ago and we’ve loved the opportunity to bring this dream collection to life. Spinning Carousel Company is a pixie-dusted jewelry company, celebrating all of our most magical moments.
We already offers six necklace designs inspired by the Disney Parks on the East and West Coasts, but we have so many more ideas in the works. The idea is subtle Disney style, so each necklace represents a park’s opening year with a font inspired by its logo! With styles available in gold, rose gold, and silver, it’s easy to add these products to your shopping list. Shipping and tax are included, so the price you see when you add to your cart is the price you pay at checkout!
Spinning Carousel Company is offering daily deals all shopping weekend long, so be sure to subscribe to our email list so you don’t miss any deals, product launches, or updates. if you’re shopping after the holiday weekend, no worries! Code “MYFIRSTVISIT” is always available for first time orders!
Lake Buena Visitors
Looking for Disney style that’s great for both in and out of the parks? Lake Buena Visitors is the shop for you. With styles inspired by your favorite parks, rides, and movies, you’re sure to find something for everyone on your shopping list. They even offer other goodies like art prints, hats, and other accessories! Their latest design is inspired by the “snoap” that falls at the Disney Parks during the holidays and the color is perfect for winter. From now until December 1, 2022, you can enjoy 20% off site-wide, so what are you waiting for?
Lake Buena Visitors is also known for their great vlogs and livestreams on YouTube, so if you’re missing the parks while you’re away be sure to subscribe there, too!
Magic Appears
A Disney day isn’t complete without a pair of ears and Magic Appears is a new ear shop that’s worth mentioning. My friend Phoebe makes ears that can fit almost any outfit ideas for a park day, with styles that are subtle and others that are sure to turn heads! Whether you’re conquering Expedition Everest, exploring Galaxy’s Edge, or living out your Best Day Ever, she’s got you covered in the ear department.
Magic Appears is offering 20% off for Black Friday and shares new styles on their socials, so be sure to follow! Phoebe also puts out great Disney content, so follow along for that magic, too.
The Mouselets
The Mouselets are known for their Disney facts, history, and tips, but did you know they have a shop as well? That’s right, there’s a The Mouselets Shop! Head over to their site to find pins, magnets, and bags inspired by the Disney Parks. They do a great job pulling out park details for their products and my favorites from them by far are their bags. They offer both purses and fanny parks in styled after park icons, details, and more. (There’s even a hidden preorder design up right now!)
For this special holiday weekend The Moustlets have their entire site 20-90% off. No code necessary, the deals are right on the products! Be sure to stock up on something special before your next trip to the parks!
Lost Bros Trading Co.
It’s no secret that I’ve been a fan of the Lost Bros collections for awhile now. (I’ve mentioned them a time or two on my site!) They specialize in unique pieces that will get you excited for your next Disney trip! From shirts and hats to pins, home decor, and crewnecks, you’re going to love what they have to offer. They’ve most recently dropped their holiday collection and Lost Bros is known for new product drops EVERY Monday. This shopping weekend is usually some of their biggest deals of the year, so be sure to check out their socials and subscribe to their email list for their daily deals this weekend.

When she’s not sharing stories and magical moments in Disney history you may have forgotten, she’s creating Disney-inspired art. She recently opened her shop online, making it easier than ever to snag one of her pieces! Right now she’s got stickers, art prints, shirts, totes, and even phone cases featuring her work. With holidays styles and others for anytime of the year, this is a great, unique gift for the Disney lovers in your life!

Are you a sticker fan like me? If so, you’ll want to check out Magnolia Crown Co. This shop has stickers inspired by the Disney Parks, Taylor Swift, and some of your favorite pop culture references! With more than 70 designs, you’d be surprised how many stocking stuffers for your Christmas list you could check off all in one place.

Feeling inspired? GREAT! I hope you found some stocking stuffers and memorable gifts that will complete your holiday list. While it’s easy to forget about shopping small in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, I challenge you to try and spend your money with smaller businesses when you can! As a small business owner myself, nothing beats the excitement of a new order notification, packaging up my products, and of course dropping them off at the post office. Thanks for checking out my holiday gift guide! Let me know if any of these shops gave you heart eyes.
