Shop small with our team favorite small businesses this week!
Every week, we’re sharing our team’s favorite small businesses that we’re genuinely excited to support (and shop!). If you’re looking to discover something new and feel good about where your dollars go, you’re in the right place.
Here are this week’s team favorite small businesses:
1. Colleen Rothschild Beauty
Colleen Rothschild Beauty makes skincare and beauty products you actually want to use. From nourishing serums to gentle cleansers and even makeup, everything is designed to feel luxurious but still work for everyday life. Many of their products are free of harsh chemicals and gentle on sensitive skin, so you can treat yourself without worry. Perfect if you’re curious about clean, results-driven beauty that actually delivers.
“The cleansing balm is unmatched. I have tried so many and honestly keep coming back to this Colleen Rothschild, as the quality is just there, and the scent is like heaven. Truly feels like a high-end facial. Also, the glycolic acid pads are a must for me for smooth skin. Cannot recommend enough! 10/10.” – Lina, Hip Sidekick
2. Sarah’s Silks
If you’re into toys that spark real imagination, Sarah’s Silks and their dreamy collection of playsilks and playcloths are worth a peek. Sarah’s Silks makes soft, flowing silk scarves, dress‑ups, and natural wooden toys that ditch screens and let kids build forts, dress up, dance, pretend, and just create in whatever way sparks their joy. No batteries required. 😉 Their products are made from 100% natural mulberry silk dyed with non‑toxic colors, so they’re gentle on little hands and great for sensory play. What starts as a scarf could become a cape, a river, or a castle, and that’s kind of the whole point. 😏
“Open-ended play for my toddler. Ethically sourced, beautiful, and great quality. We mostly stick to the silks, but they also have wooden toys.” – Meagan, Hip Sidekick
3. Tobiq
TOBIQ bags are the kind of bags that make you go, “Wait, this is actually cute and practical?” Durable, roomy, and packed with smart little pockets, they handle everything from work stuff to weekend errands without missing a beat. Clean, simple, and just a touch stylish, these bags make hauling your life feel a little less chaotic (and a lot more put-together). 😉 They’re definitely worth a peek if you’re over basic totes.

“These are the BEST travel bags for any kind of travel, road trips, camping, air travel, etc. Their bags are built to last and help so much with organization! Their duffels can convert to backpacks and also have a laptop sleeve. My fave is their 60-L bags. Our fam has a few different ones and basically never travels with anything else. Also, the colors are gorgeous, and they’re always releasing new ones.” – Meagan, Hip sidekick
4. Caitlyn Minimalist
Caitlyn Minimalist is all about dainty, everyday jewelry that feels timeless without the sticker shock. Think delicate rings, initials, birthstones, and pieces you’ll actually wear from morning coffee to date night. Most items are crafted from solid 925 sterling silver with 18K gold plating (and no nickel in the silver), which makes them a solid pick for many folks with sensitive skin who want style without irritation.
“My daughter loves the earrings I got her on Christmas. and has had no bad reaction to them! She hasn’t had them very long, but we haven’t seen any tarnishing or anything. They shipped in such beautiful gift boxes as well! My only issue was that the shipping felt a little slow, but hey – it was free, and I planned ahead, so they did get here in time for Christmas. So I can’t really complain! I will definitely order from them again.” – Jenna, Hip Sidekick
