This year, Made in Queens is participating in a special Valentine’s Day event. #SmallBusinessSweetie is a citywide initiative reminding all of us to show our local manufacturers love as we shop for our sweethearts. Buy something great for your sweetie from the participating MiQ members below. When you do, be sure to post about it on social media and tag #SmallBusinessSweetie to show your support!
