Small Business Holiday Gift Guide

As the holiday shopping season comes to a close, we’re highlighting some of our favorite products from Intuit QuickBooks small business customers for that last-minute gift you’re still searching for.

Given our mission to help small businesses, and our commitment to equity and equality, we want to lend our voice to spotlight some of our small business customers, focusing on minority owned businesses. 

One way we’re doing that at Intuit is with our annual online Holiday Bazaar portal, through which employees can get to know some of our customers, read their stories, and purchase their products right from the source. We see the challenges and difficulties our small business customers face every day, and encourage everybody to do their part and shop small this year.

Peppermint Crunch

Legally Addictive Foods

Laura started her business in the kitchen of her tiny apartment when she had been laid off from a job right before the holidays. It turned out a treat she made with her mom growing up, a cookie made from a cracker wasn’t on the market yet. She spent a year perfecting the recipe for shelf stability & scaling production while working numerous odd jobs to support myself. After 11 months, they landed in their first store. They are now in over 700 retailers and have five products.
