Please consider supporting these small businesses in WNC this holiday season. Below is a list of Black Mountain shops with online stores. Supporting these small businesses for gifts you were already planning to shop for would mean a lot to this community. This list features unique, artist-made gifts, outdoor gear, teas, spices, kitchen items and so much more. 

We’d like to see as many businesses keep their doors open as possible, allowing them to support their employees and contribute to the recovery efforts here.

If you have questions on any item or need a better shipping solution than they may offer, let me know—I’d be happy to get anything I can answered, or coordinate a pickup for me to get things shipped out to you.

And for anyone you know who has asked how they might be able to help Western North Carolina, sharing this list is one small way to make a big difference.

Thanks so much for considering it! ❤️
