We love shopping small. Supporting a small business is great for the community, local economy, and for our hearts. This year, we're excited to share some of our favorite tiny (but great) shops.
Looking for holiday gifts? Take a look at the wares of these small business champions.

Local Favorites
Although we love small businesses all over the country, we also want to share a few of our local favorites. Here are a few New England shops that our Duckfeet USA team loves and that you can support from your hometown.
White Heron
Do you have a local coffee shop that everyone in your town goes to? For us, it's White Heron. Just a few blocks from our Duckfeet USA office, White Heron is a New England based organic tea and coffee company. They began with the intention of offering divine and healthy organic teas but soon expanded to include brewing chai, roasting organic coffee. Although we love shopping at their Portsmouth, NH location, you can also order your White Heron goodies through their website.

Nahcotta
Nahcotta is a must-visit stop in downtown Portsmouth, NH. Full of beautiful art originals and prints, ceramics, and gifts of all kinds, you can shop in person or through their website. Check out their manifesto and you'll see why we just can't get enough of them: "We believe a sense of humor, compassion, original art and integrity are integral parts of a happy life. We believe in the importance of being inspired. We believe that the things that make you feel are just as important as the things that make you think. We believe in connecting - with our neighbors next door and across the world. We strive to make art accessible to anyone and everyone because things of beauty enrich our lives in ineffable ways."
