Shopping small is a great way to show that you care about independent makers and the unique work that they do. Etsy is the place to find all sorts of amazing creations, and they’ve recently highlighted some incredible Black-owned shops on their platform. From jewelry to artwork to gardening, there is no shortage of creative things to own and give as gifts.

With Father’s Day on the horizon, Kingsley Leather is a great choice for Dad.
