Shop Our Favorite Small Businesses!
Let’s be honest, we’re all struggling in different capacities during this difficult time. While so many businesses have been forced to close, we wanted to get creative in how we can support small businesses that we love from the safety of our own homes! Christmas? Birthdays? Bridal Showers? Baby Showers? Weddings? Just think of how prepared we will be once life resumes and we are once again able to celebrate life's precious moments with those we love most! Oh, and don’t forget to get yourself a little something because let’s be honest, we deserve it after this!
A Grazing Plate
Are we obsessed with charcuterie? Of course! So when we were introduced to A Grazing Plate at a Sip Shop Socialize event, we fell in love! A Grazing Plate takes the guesswork out of charcuterie and creates STUNNING boxes, boards, and tables filled with a variety of charcuterie meats and fine cheeses, artisan breads and crackers, fresh seasonal produce, a few dips and spreads, nuts, olives and more!
Our favorite is the charcuterie boxes because you can pick them up just like a to-go order and take them to the beach for a sunset dinner, a friend’s house for game night, or home to enjoy while you binge watch a new TV series!

Glamfetti
I (Megan) ordered from Glamfetti when I planning a friend’s gender reveal and I cannot say enough about how happy I was with everything including the customer service! I ordered a balloon garland and tissue tassel garland and both arrived (early) in the cutest packaging. The instructions were clear and when I submitted a question, Tiffany, owner of Glamfetti, answered me the same day! She is now our go-to for all of our events and if you need a little party inspiration, follow her on Instagram or Pinterest!

Lazy Turtle
We met Megan, owner of Lazy Turtle (alongside her husband and 3 kids), last year and have been obsessed with the SPF shirts she gifted us! Not only are they incredibly soft but they are also made in the USA! What makes their products EVEN BETTER is that a portion of all their sales goes towards the conservation of Southwest Florida’s sea turtles!
So while we’re waiting for the beaches to reopen, support this small business by stocking up on all the necessities for the Naples beach lifestyle!

Pawsitivity
New to Mercato, Pawsitivity is a dog boutique that sells collars, leashes, harnesses, bandannas, and bow ties in the most adorable patterns (think sailboats, gingham, and even avocados)! We met the owners (and their 2 pups) just as they were opening their doors here in Naples and we fell in love not only with their product but also their genuine love and passion for what they did! We bought a leash and harness in the Naples pattern and receive compliments on it every time we take Charlie for a walk! All of their products are made in Massachusetts and a portion of their sales goes to support an animal shelter in Boston!
Oh, and did we mention that they make matching apparel for us humans?! They make for the PERFECT family photos!

Style Loft
Prior to the virus and resulting quarantine, The Naples Insider was preparing for an amazing giveaway with Style Loft and while that will happen as soon as we are freed from our houses, we wanted to give this small business a shoutout because they make AMAZING fitness apparel! I (Megan) was gifted a sports bra and a pair of leggings and could not get over how well both items fit and how soft yet durable the leggings are! I’ve been wearing the leggings nonstop for both at-home workouts and just to lounge in because they are that comfortable!
Whether you’re working out to pass the time or are going to need to detox post-quarantine, we highly recommend this small business for affordable yet high-quality gear!

We hope you are staying safe and healthy during this difficult time! If you have a small business that you love, we would love to learn about it! Send us an email or DM us with their handle on Instagram!
Cheers!!
