41: The 2025 Small Fry Gift Guide, Part III
Shopping small on Black Friday.
Good morning! In today’s letter, I’m sharing the final part of the 2025 Small Fry Gift Guide. Part III is short & sweet, and includes gifts for the person who has everything, as well as a list of a few small business sales I’ve come across this week.
As always, everything linked below is from a small business.
A 2026 Calendar
Useful and extremely cute.A membership to their favorite museum
Some museums are even running Black Friday sales for their annual memberships.Gift your favorite book you read this year (and buy it from your favorite small bookstore)
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is one of my all time favorites. I need to think harder about what my favorite book I read this year is, but we just read The Marriage Portrait for the book club I’m in, and I loved that too.A gift card to their favorite local coffee shop
Self-explanatory, but still one of my favorite gifts I received this year for my birthday! You can’t go wrong gifting an entire holiday season’s worth of chai lattes. (Obv can also be applied to local brewery, winery, etc.)DIY!
Write them a nice card (from a small business of course) and/or make something for them; baked goods, a painting, knitwear, whatever you want. I am opting to sew a lot of gifts this year – I already made my dog this Christmas stocking, and I’m making two more for a friend. A dopp kit would be a useful gift. I’ve also already made two of these bottle bags.
