1. Graphic Anthology
Take a virtual pit stop to see for yourself how designer Genesis Duncan creates a cheerful mix of stationery and gifts with boldly cheerful color palettes and illustrations. My favorite has to be her chicken sticker, which just makes me happy, but her plant-loving cards and notepad are must-haves too! And it’s not just about looks — its over 700 5-star reviews on Etsy prove you won’t be disappointed with these greeting cards, tote bags, and pencils.

2. Joy in every point Co.
This is definitely the place to be if you are looking for embroidered hats, t-shirts and sweatshirts. I bought a custom succulent sweatshirt from Joy about a year ago, and it’s my go-to piece when looking for a simple outfit that looks effortlessly cute. Can we take a moment to appreciate the flowered mountain hat? The detail, the design…safe to say I’m obsessed with this style.

3. Handmade by Lia
For a shop so perfect for trendy and affordable summer jewelry, it may come as a surprise that it’s actually run by a teenage business owner! I have the Eliza ring and the Smiley ring, and they’re instant mood boosters every time I see my hands (is that a weird thing to say? Well, it’s true). When I feel like I don’t have time to put an ~outfit~ together, the rings totally elevate the whole look and make me feel 100% better dressed. And what I really like about these is that they’re semi-adjustable, so no stress if you’re not completely sure about the size.

4. Zoet Studio
If you’re wondering where I bought this Cactus candle for my best friend’s birthday, look no further than Zoet Studio. Most of us can’t resist a good bedroom candle, so this is the perfect gift if you want something above the TJMaxx options. Cacti not your thing? Try the sunflower, poppy or avocado craft candles – there really is something for everyone!

5. The Striped Plaid Co.
As another teen-owned boutique, this shop covers every girl’s essentials, from scrunchies and clothes to stickers and accessories, and even holiday-themed items. And if you can’t find what you’re looking for, Hannah accepts custom orders – mark it! Having purchased from this shop, I can assure you that the wrapping will be just as fun as the gorgeous bohemian photography makes it look.
