2020 Oklahoma Gift Guide: Shop Small Oklahoma

Many small businesses are in danger of closing for good. Sound like an exaggeration? I wish it were. The majority of small businesses worldwide have been hit hard by COVID-19, and Oklahoma is no different. As we are not simply a wedding magazine but a celebration of Oklahoma and small businesses, we have put together a gift guide for you to help support local this season. This is just a small example of businesses you can support. Now, more than ever, please support local and shop small this holiday season. Small businesses need you.

Don’t forget you can integrate the event industry into your gift-giving too. Floral arrangements, photo sessions, cakes and desserts for holiday celebrations, and more. Click here to see a list of event industry pros you can support this season. Click here for a comprehensive list of Black-owned businesses in Oklahoma’s event industry to support. Finally, click here to see our friend Emily Steward’s awesome Shop Local gift guide for Tulsa.

Don’t have the $$ to support local this year? There are a few totally free ways to support:

1. Interacting with your favorite local businesses (liking, commenting, tagging, saving and sharing) can help immensely?

2. Spreading the word to your friends/family

3. Writing reviews on Google/Facebook

4. Signing up for their newsletters

Happy giving season, friends!
