Alumni Do Your Shopping in Big Red Style with Our 2026 Holiday Marketplace Stories You May Like Bill Nye, the Frisbee Guy Back to School, Amid an Ithaca Chill Belting a Bruno Mars Tune, Senior Wows Judges on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ Support your fellow alumni—and find great gifts—with our third annual showcase of Cornellian-owned online retailers! By Cornellians staff In advance of Cyber Monday 2024, Cornellians debuted a feature devoted to spotlighting alumni-owned businesses that sell merchandise suitable for holiday gift-giving. The aim was to create a win-win: not only to showcase Big Red retailers, but to give Cornellian shoppers some novel ideas for holiday gifts while supporting their fellow alums. And when we set about gathering online stores to include, we were blown away by what we encountered: dozens upon dozens (upon dozens!) of thriving retailers founded by alumni entrepreneurs, selling everything from tasty treats to high-end fashions. The following year, the Holiday Marketplace grew even larger—and in 2026, we're pleased to present our biggest version yet, with more than 140 entries! (Given its size, we've adopted a new format to keep it manageable: readers can click to expand or contract each section.) Note: Each retailer’s heading is a hyperlink to its website or sales portal. Some sellers have opted to provide a Cornellians discount code, which appears at the end of its listing; these may offer cost reductions or free shipping under certain circumstances. (We are unable to specify the details of each discount code, but please note that exclusions, terms, expiration dates, order minimums, or other limits may apply to them.)
