Support Local: Your Guide to Small Business Saturday in St. Louis
There's a place for national big-box retailers, but small businesses give local communities their own heart and character. On Saturday, 11/24, show your support during Small Business Saturday by patronizing these wonderful shops around St. Louis homes for sale.
- The Candle Fusion Studio - 3745 Foundry Way, Suite 155, St. Louis, MO 63110
Think you don't have any creativity? A visit to the Candle Fusion Studio will change your mind. Add a personal touch to your gifts by blending your own fragrance, choosing the elements from more than 100 options in their scent library. The completed fragrance can then be used to personalize candles, scented sprays, spa salts, and wax tarts. If you prefer, select from a stocked assortment of pre-made single-scented candles and gift items. Hours are 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and noon - 5 p.m. Sunday. - Urban Matter - 3179 S. Grand Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63118
Everybody has that one person on their gift list who has everything. This year, surprise and delight them with a unique gift from Urban Matter. The charming shop offers a carefully curated assortment of hand-crafted home decor and furnishings, jewelry, clothing, and other items from local and regional artisans. Several products are from Urban Workshop, the boutique's own in-house brand. Urban Matter is open 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sunday. - Provisions St. Louis - 228 N. Euclid Ave., St. Louis, MO 63108
At Provisions St. Louis, their goal is to make the shopping experience as enjoyable and satisfying as the gift itself. The upscale lifestyle-oriented shop specializes in what they refer to as "necessary luxuries." On any given day, shop from an eclectic selection of high-quality home decor, skincare, grooming products for men and women, art books, and other irresistible items. Hours are 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon - 5 p.m. Sunday. - The Social Goods Marketplace - 3189 S. Grand Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63118
The name of the Social Goods Marketplace embodies the philosophy and values that guide their business. Sustainability, social justice, and self-care form the basis of their mission to improve and support the local community. Morgan, the St. Louis native who founded the Social Goods Marketplace, considers gift-giving her "love language" and looks for products that will spark joy in both the giver and recipient. Hours are 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sunday. - Cat's Meow Personalized Gifts - 11773 Manchester Road, St. Louis, MO 63131
Don't let the name fool you. Cat's Meow Personalized Gifts is not devoted exclusively to lovers of felines. In fact, the name was inspired by founder Catherine's childhood nickname of "Cat." With a mix of signature brands and items sourced from high-quality suppliers, the lifestyle shop has grown from Catherine's dining room table to a thriving storefront of their own. Cat's Meow is open 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. daily except Sunday when hours are noon - 5 p.m. - Herbaria - 2016 Marconi Ave., St. Louis, MO 63110
A little pampering improves anyone's day, especially when it involves Herbaria vegan and Earth-friendly self-care products. Their soaps come in dozens of appealing varieties, such as chocolate, eucalyptus mint, and lime coconut aloe. Other luxurious items include shampoo, moisturizers, and bath salts. There's even a Soapy's Choice line of products for your precious pooch. Hours are 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. every day but Sunday.
We appreciate and support the small businesses that form the backbone of St. Louis's economy and personality. Get in touch with us for all your local real estate needs.
