This year I wanted to do an epic round-up of all my favorite small shops. If you're going to buy stuff for your loved ones this holiday season, consider shopping small or local to keep those dollars swirling around the local economy and helping self-employed families keep on keepin on. 

This round-up is filled with the cutest accessories around, all of which I would be stoked to see under my tree (DUSTY, ARE YOU LISTENING?) Most of these shops are San Diego-based but a handful are just rad small businesses who bust their booties to find the raddest goods around.
