Great Gift Ideas That Aren't From Big Box Retailers

Last year we shared our thoughts and feelings on gift-giving and how to be great at it. This year we’re coming at you with more gift ideas, plus a bunch of places to shop for them that aren’t Amazon. OILT listeners sent us a ton of awesome ideas for things to buy from independent shops and sellers, all of which make great gifts. (And we also threw in a few of our own.) We think you’ll be able to find stuff for a lot of the people on your list this year, while supporting independent sellers and getting a jump on that unpredictable supply chain!

Btw, get Oh, I Like That merch here!
