I’m excited to share with you the 2026 Keaper Gift Shop Guide!
In our last Keaper survey, we heard a clamor for more recommendations of like-minded independent businesses.
The way the internet has evolved, it has become more and more difficult to discover local independent small businesses. Yet, these establishments are the beating hearts of neighborhoods and towns across our nation. They are a source of resilience, and usually the first to come to a community's aid when it suffers a disaster.
We love when you buy our candles from our website or from one of our wonderful stockists. However, today’s guide is about supporting local economies by featuring over a hundred community-oriented businesses unaffiliated with Keap, but recommended by the Keap community.
I hope you’ll check out the interactive map to see mentions in your community and bookmark some places for your future travels.

If you missed out on the Keaper survey and want to submit your favorite shop, you can still submit entries for our next update.
Let me know if you find this useful, and have a great rest of your week!
With gratitude,
— Harry from Keap, Steward-Owner
