Yes, we were warned about supply chain shortages, and swore that we'd start holiday-shopping early but between work, familia, and, well, life, here we are squeezing it all in. But that doesn't mean you can't gift everyone on your list—from the kids to the abuelos—holiday presents with extra special meaning. Quite the opposite really!
Because we know that you're always looking for ways to give back, we've created a shopping guide featuring all Latinx-owned businesses that you can support with your purchase. Think of it as a win-win: Not only does the list below include unique items that speak to our culture, but it will also inspire future Latinx entrepreneurs. And with so many folks in our communities hit hard by the pandemic, buying from a Latinx maker is a simple way of paying it forward. Plus, research shows that giving back makes us feel happy and produces all sorts of positive feelings—exactly what we need this holiday season and always!
We especially love that the founders of these brands are proud of where they come from and celebrate that in everything they create. So, please relax about the last-minute shopping spree you're about to embark on. We've curated a list that won't break the bank. Just sit back with your cafecito and keep supporting Latinx businesses as you click to buy. That feel-good glow will kick in any minute now, so feliz shopping!
