Key takeaways

Holiday gifts with heart (and small biz power)

The holiday season can be… a lot. Between order deadlines, travel plans, family group chats, and a to-do list that seems to regenerate overnight, finding the perfect gift often falls to the bottom of the list (right next to “clean out inbox” and “respond to that text from October”).

At Saltbox, we talk to small business owners every day who are juggling the exact same chaos—but with the added pressure of running their own companies during the busiest shopping season of the year. They’re picking and packing by hand, answering customer emails late at night, and doing everything they can to bring joy to strangers through a box on a doorstep.

That’s what inspired us to create this guide.

The Saltbox Holiday Gift Guide is a curated roundup of products from our very own members—real business owners who store, ship, and scale their work inside Saltbox locations across the country. Every item featured here is crafted, packaged, and fulfilled by someone who believed in their idea enough to build it from scratch.

When you shop from this list, you’re not just checking off your gift list. You’re backing the hustlers, the makers, the problem-solvers. You’re supporting entrepreneurship at its most human.

This year’s guide is our most thoughtful one yet. Whether you’re shopping for the minimalist, the maximalist, the “just one thing” person, or the one who already has everything, we’ve got something here they’ll actually want—and you’ll feel good about giving. Want exclusive discount codes from these brands and other small businesses? Visit our 2025 Holiday Hub.

Thank you for supporting our community, and happy holidays from all of us at Saltbox.
