Get Listed in the 2025 Small Business Community Gift Guide

May is around the corner! And that means we'll have plenty to celebrate from kindergarten, high school, and college graduations, to first communions, the end of the school year, and of course Mother's Day. 

We would love to highlight the small businesses, mompreneurs, and other local boutiques and shops in New Iberia, Abbeville, Breaux Bridge, St. Martinville, Franklin, and Morgan City who may be offering sales specials or other deals for locals looking for the best deals. Macaroni KID New Iberia Abbeville Breaux Bridge loves working with and supporting the small businesses in our community and we would be honored to feature your business on our list this year.

May and June are huge months for celebrations. From Teacher's Appreciation Week to Father's Day, we want to make sure to give the spotlight to the small businesses in our area. Our goal is simple: we're here to help small businesses grow while strengthening local families.
