Here are a few people I know that have Etsy Shops, stores in New Paltz, or just love to make make their own unique items. If you need help finding a holiday gift start with these places, even if you don't live in the Hudson Valley you are still supporting a small business owner in New York!
Spotlight
Sweet Marrilla
Owner: Kelly Mirto
This lovely lady makes handcrafted cold press soaps, soy candles, and bees wax lip balm. Items are sold individually and as gift sets. She's had her shop open since April 2012. All products very reasonably priced and are all natural- no harmful dyes or scents. I think they would make great hostess gifts, stocking stuffer, and are worth checking out.
Bounty
Owners: Mary and Keith Woodburn
This couple's love for local food lead them to starting their own small business. Items are sold al a carte, through their bounty boxes, or through a monthly subscription. All goods are from New York State based businesses. Their newest item the Winter Tasting Box featuring; Oliver Kita's- Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Pretzal Bar with Toffee, Montgomery Place Orchard's- Crab Apple Jelly, Bella's Home Baked Goods-Garlic Parmesan Taralli, Tanna's- Lemon Fig Chutney, Salty Road- Peppermint Salt Water Taffy. This sounds like a perfect gift for someone who loves to support local business or a nice treat for yourself and loved ones when you simply want to enjoy delicious and mouth watering snacks. Don't forget to check out their other tasting boxes too!
The Red Hen Market
Owner: Nora Scandariato
This crafty designer and mother of two sells digital scrapbook paper packs for you scrapbook fanatics out
there. Prints are instantly downloaded to you as soon as you purchase them. They are not just great for scrap booking but also for invitations, garland, web design, books, and many more ideas. I love her style and approach to design. Her shop is definitely worth checking out.
Paisley Pisces
Owner: Emma Stokes
This newly launched business tailors to baby and kid goods. She makes adorable onesies, sells teething products, and greeting cards. Need a baby's first Christmas or baby shower gift, Paisley Pisces is a great place to start.

I hope I was able to inspire and connect you to a small business that will help make your holiday shopping easier. Good luck shopping and happy holidays!!
