Written by BUKU Marketing | Nov 21, 2022 8:39:32 PM

The holidays are just around the corner and what many consider the eCommerce event of the year is this week – Black Friday. Today we are sharing a gift guide of shops everyone should check out. We are sharing their missions, origin stories, imagery and what sales they are running.

Five the Label

Activewear for the women in your life.

Five Dancewear's story began in Bountiful, Utah after owner, Michelle, decided something needed to change in the dancewear industry. Inspired by her three dancing daughters, Michelle began to hone in on her design skills and begin something new. Fueled, quite literally, by a fire that burnt her previous clothing company to the ground, Five arose from the ashes. Since then, Five has moved from being a small, local business run out of Michelle's basement, to being carried worldwide and worn by many talented dancers on shows like Dancing With The Stars, World of Dance, and So You Think You Can Dance.

GIGI PIP

Gigi Pip's mission is to build confidence in women and the many hats they wear but they also offer unisex beanies and a line of men’s hats.

 In a physical sense, they achieve this mission by putting quality first, refusing to cut corners, and producing the most fashionable, high-quality hats on the market. But in the potentially more important symbolic sense - they truly hope their product, service and the Gigi Pip community will help women build confidence in every aspect of their lives, including all the "hats" they wear.

Risewell

 Risewell is helping to transform mouth care and offers natural products including toothpaste and mouthwash.

Barton Watch Bands

BARTON Watch Bands was born out of one man's recurring frustration over poorly designed watch straps.

An avid traveler, fun enthusiast and relatively obsessive watch guy, he couldn't find watch bands that achieved his desired balance between fashion, function and fit. So mechanical engineer that he was, he started designing them himself.

Today, at BARTON's Dallas headquarters, the collection and the team have grown, but the mission remains the same: to deliver high quality bands at a reasonable price, with the kind of service that makes you want to high five a stranger. We always have and always will stand behind our products with the BARTON Guarantee.
