I made a few graphics as a reminder to be kind to small businesses and independent artists this season (a thread)
Be kind to us, we're doing our best! A lot of the time there is just one person behind the scenes wearing so many hats. Mistakes can happen so we ask you to be patient and kindly let us know if there were any issues so we can fix them as soon as possible

Some of us may not be in the financial positions to be able to offer crazy deals like the big guys out there. Kindly remember that we price our work the way we do for many reasons. If we're too expensive, kindly move on and find a shop that works better for your needs

This holiday season is clearly a bit different than previous years, and a lot of people will be buying gifts online. This means that the post office will likely see an abnormally large volume of parcels this year and may need more time to deliver them safely. Plan accordingly!
And lastly, just be kind. We're all hurting from this year, but hurting others gets us nowhere. Don't be a dick.
Have any other tips for shoppers or small shops? Drop em in the comments!
