50 Small Ecommerce Brands From Every State (Just In Time For The Fourth)

50Stores_edit-01Our country (and the rest of the world) has been through a lot this year – some good, some, well, not-so-good, to put it kindly. But with America’s Independence Day approaching, it’s an important reminder to reflect on what we’re all about: pioneering, pushing boundaries, and taking risks.

This sentiment rings truest with small businesses, who triumph because of a relentless work ethic and a healthy supply of passion.

Especially over these last few months, we have been honored to learn about the vast array of businesses hailing from sea to shining sea.

We pulled from the ShopSmallEcomm marketplace and our database of more than 500,000 Privy merchants to find stand-out small ecommerce brands in each of the 50 states, in honor of this July 4th.

From blood orange-infused EVOO to vanilla fig balsamic, you’re sure to find something you’ve never tasted before.

Maine

Fast-forward a few years, and Waxing Kara now offers a full line of food, bath, and beauty products inspired by bees and nurtured by the honey they provide.

Owned and operated by the 19 Pueblo Indian Tribes of New Mexico, the Indian Pueblo Store brings you an unsurpassed collection of original, handcrafted works of Native American art.

Utah

Peejamas

I’m no parent, but potty training (especially in quarantine) sounds, to put it frankly, absolutely dreadful.

Enter Peejamas, a sustainable and affordable alternative to disposable diapers. They help parents stay sane during potty training and bedwetting phases using their contact-safe fabrics that provide maximum absorbency.

Think of it like the Goldilocks of nighttime diaper alternatives – not too wet so that they cause accidents in the bed, but wet enough that the child can tell they’ve had an accident, which diapers don’t do.

PeejamasVermont

Yerbary Master Tonic (Fire Cider)

Master Tonic is an organic apple cider vinegar-based daily health tonic meant to strengthen immunity and digestion.

Kick Ash Basket

You’ve got the grill. Now you need the whole package. Kick Ash Basket stocks a wide assortment of grill-specific baskets, accessories, and spice rubs, so you can create finger-licking barbecue right in your yard.

Their signature product line of baskets was born from an engineer who wanted to make things better by allowing the charcoal at the bottom of the grill to be filtered more easily from the ash. He couldn’t find what he was looking for, so he made it himself.

Wyoming

Yellowberry

Megan Grassell was just 17 when she founded Yellowberry, a bra company for tweens and teens.

She was shopping with her 13 year old sister for her first bra, and was frustrated that they couldn’t find anything that fit or was age-appropriate for young girls during a vulnerable time in their lives.

From there, Yellowberry started as a cute, comfortable, and appropriate collection of bras to empower young girls into becoming confident young women.Yellowberry
