This post is graciously sponsored by all of the small business brands you see featured here. I strongly support entrepreneurs and their growing businesses, and I’m excited to feature many of their products in this post. All American products have been tried and tested by me, but the Israeli-based products were NOT tried and tested. But I am thrilled to share some Israeli-based brands for my followers who are based in the Homeland! Enjoy!

Gifts for Your Home: 

 

Driven Day

I am a huge supporter of women-owned businesses, and Driven Day is owned and run by two incredible boss mamas. They have some awesome products to enhance your productivity AND spirituality as a Jewish woman. 

 

Kitchen Caboodles

An awesome women-owned business, based in Brooklyn, NY. DM them to order, and they will ship anywhere. Kitchen Caboodles has ANYTHING you could ever think or dream of for your kitchen and tabletop.

They have a lot of unique products:

 

The Peppermill

The Peppermill features a huge selection of gourmet kitchenware and kosher gourmet food, based in Brooklyn, NY. Think all-Kosher Williams’ Sonoma — but better. They ship anywhere in the U.S.

 

Sefira Creative

Sefira is not only an absolutely lovely woman, she is one of the most talented artists I’ve ever “met”. The entire experience of choosing a piece of her artwork and making it perfect for my home has been completely enjoyable. 

Here are two featured pieces:

 

Gifts for Your Family:

 

Jewish Interactive

 

Spark Innovations

The Spark Innovations creates high-quality, children’s, educational sequencing and storytelling picture cards, that can be used to improve language skills and develop inferencing, sequencing, storytelling, answering questions and higher-level thinking skills. The cards are very easy to use and include a comprehensive user guide that can be used by Parents, Teachers, and Therapists.

Available on Amazon with a special discount code: ALYSSASPARK.

The Jewish sequencing set is ONLY available on Amazon. It’s a “bit” old for my almost 3/4 year olds, but they still enjoy it! Spark, Jr. available for younger ages.

 

State of Play

A new, local-to-Chicago, small business, run by a husband and wife team. They make absolutely ADORABLE Illinois swag for kids and adults!

 

Tovla

Do your kids love to cook, but they’re a bit too young for knives? Worry, no more! Tovla to the rescue. 

 

#Fashun:

 

Karmela Cosmetics

I’m proud to have worked with Karmela Cosmetics multiple times now. The founder is a total boss, and I love that the company always gives back to charitable organizations.

 

Kaleidescope Modestwear

KAL Modestwear takes modest staples to the next level at an affordable price. The owner, Galit, puts her heart and soul into every item and collection, and I’m proud to support her business and wear her clothes.

 

Peace Love and Carats

Peace Love and Carats sells beautiful, fine, CZ jewelry at great prices. Ayala will help you find the exact piece you’re looking for. She is based in Passaic, NJ, but I’ve always worked with her remotely and had excellent experiences. We have both worked together, and I’ve been a paying customer. I’m a happy customer every time!

The Perfect Present has beautiful and adorable personalized pieces for purchase. Rivie, the owner will work to find whatever you need for the perfect gift. This is not just another gift shop — watch out for The Perfect Present! And her prices are VERY reasonable. What an enjoyable shopping experience!

Some of their best sellers:

 

Valeri’s Boutique

Everyone knows that I’m a VB superfan. Her pieces are curated, made and sold with love and with each customer in mind. Based in Chicago, Valeri has open hours and also ships worldwide.

Israeli-Based Brands:

I am so proud to share these two Israeli, women-owned businesses that are based in Jerusalem! I hate that I can’t consistently buy from these businesses because of the distance, but this is my way of supporting women who are so strong and live in the country where we are all meant to be (hopefully soon!).

Baby Boutique

Bringing beautiful baby gifts (personalized and not) to new families all around Israel. DM her to order. It’s a great way for family in the United States or other countries to send a gift to a new mommy in Israel!

 

Salves of Jerusalem

A family business started by a couple who made Aliyah, through their self-development and love for health, wellness and vitality, the Glucks have created their own line of  natural salves, butters, and balms that are great for your family. Especially during the cold winter months, this would make a great gift! Worldwide shipping!

Thank you for supporting these small businesses this holiday season and beyond! When we support each other, we can all grow together! Happy Holidays!
