As we’re in the midst of the busiest shopping days of the year, I wanted to give a little love to my favorite local small businesses. I wanted to share where I love to shop in hopes that you’ll find a new, local business to support too!

While I love shopping online, I also love shopping locally. It’s so important to support small businesses in our communities. Unless, God forbid, you want your neighborhood to be overrun by chain establishments.  So get out this weekend (and this holiday season) and support your local shops, I promise they’ll thank you!

In this post I’m sharing my favorite local spots in my hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana and a few spots in Baton Rouge, Louisiana too!

Best Places to Shop in Shreveport

Jac Clothing – I LOVE shopping at this local boutique.  They always have the cutest clothing pieces, fun jewelry, and great gifts.

C&C Mercantile & Lighting – One of my dear friends runs C&C Mercantile & Lighting with her husband. It’s the BEST spot in town for unique pieces for your home, local coffee by Lyons Pride Coffee, original art, and gifts!

Village Washstand – An old favorite!  A great place to pop in for a classic gift to give this holiday season.  I love their carefully curated shop.  A personal favorite, my beloved catstudio pieces!
