The holiday season is upon us! The holidays are a time for friends and families to gather and celebrate. The week of Thanksgiving has historically been the kick-off for the giving season, and we want to remind people they can buy last-minute gifts from small businesses and have them delivered in minutes. 

Gopuff customers have told us they care about supporting local and small businesses, with more than 88% of Gopuff customers saying they prefer to purchase local products and goods. We’ve partnered with hundreds of small and local brands to bring unique products to customers while supporting entrepreneurs, particularly women- and minority-owned businesses.

This year’s online holiday shopping season is expected to surge – three out of five people planning to buy their holiday goods and gifts online – which could add to already high delivery times and product shortages that have impacted businesses and consumers across the country.

Gopuff’s 2021 Small Business Holiday Gift Guide

To help provide some relief to the added stress of longer delivery times and shortage of products brought on by global supply chain issues, our team has put together a holiday shopping guide with this year’s Put Me On products that are available on Gopuff right now and ready to be delivered.*

 “Put Me On” is Gopuff’s small business accelerator program designed to support and mentor entrepreneurs from historically underrepresented groups.

The “Put Me On” small businesses have experienced positive week-over-week growth on the Gopuff platform, and on average 10% of Put Me On customers are first time Gopuff users. This shows that not only does Gopuff bring new customers to the brands, but these brands also bring new customers to the Gopuff platform.
