When Cristy Armstrong isn’t organizing Creative Mornings Charleston , she’s out supporting local businesses. Today, she’s sharing a few of her favorite Charleston-made products that make for the perfect stocking stuffers.

Christmas is swiftly approaching, and you may still need that perfect stocking stuffer for family – including Aunt Mildred!

Stop by these locally-owned stores for jewelry, clothing, wellness products + more. When you shop local, you are supporting the business owners who call Charleston home. Plus, most of these gifts are under $20, so your wallet and your family members will thank you.

Here are some of my favorite picks:

Feel-good item: Clean water for Christmas!

No need to leave the comfort of your couch when you purchase Water Mission’s Christmas tribute card. Starting at donations of $10, this stocking stuffer will support Water Mission’s work in nations in need of clean water.
