As Thanksgiving gets closer, we're leaning into the habit of practicing gratitude for anything that makes our lives better (even in small ways).

Of course, we're grateful for family, friends, our pets, and our jobs—but we’re also thankful for the brands that make the things we love and use every day.

As commerce writers and editors, we see tons of products come through our doors, but some stand out from the rest.

These small businesses we’re highlighting are some of the best we’ve come across all year. Not only do they make amazing products, but they’re also AAPI, Black, and women-owned, which makes supporting them feel even better.

They’ve got gift-worthy items for everyone in your life—your best friend, your mom, your boyfriend, or, honestly, yourself.

There’s a home decor brand that’ll add sparkle to your bar cart with stunning glassware, a candle company with delicious scents you won’t find anywhere else, a jewelry line that makes everything from everyday pieces to bold statement styles, and a bedding brand that’ll make your bed feel like a luxury hotel stay.

Whether you’re shopping for someone else or just treating yourself, we think you’ll be just as thankful for these brands as we are.

We're so thankful for this women-owned, Black-owned drinkware brand that makes some of the most gorgeous glassware around.

According to the brand, these delightful coupe cocktail glasses are inspired by the enchanting carnivals of yesteryear. These eight-ounce coupes feature a unique optic texture and a rounded silhouette that will look great on your bar cart. 

We're big Emme NYC fans.

This lychee gift set smells like mouthwatering lychee candy, and includes a 10-ounce natural soy candle, a candle coaster, and a natural reed diffuser.

The candle features a sustainable wood wick for a clean, even burn that creates a soothing, fireplace-like crackle and offers up to 80 hours of burn time.

Eklexic is a woman-owned jewelry brand that makes stunning statement and everyday pieces. 

Why not make someone's holiday with this baroque pearl pendant necklace?

How pretty is this wavy ring?

It's an ideal piece for ring stacking, but it can also be worn alone as a dainty piece of jewelry.

Pair the pearl necklace above with this hanging pearl ring for a glam look. 

Choose from gold or silver.

Bare Home makes great bedding at great prices.

This linen duvet cover offers a light, luxurious feel. According to the brand, the texture will become softer to the touch and will develop a glossiness or sheen over time as you wash it. 

It runs up to a size California King and comes with two pillow shams.
