Shop Independent - Small Business Christmas Gift guide

Shopping with independent businesses brings joy, creativity and uniqueness that you just don’t find with bigger brands.

We’ve put together a small gift guide, including this years most popular goods from Ruth Holly and some of our other favourite designer makers.

Hopefully you will find some inspiration and choose to champion small business again this year.

Gift Guide 2020: A selection of our favourite goods

And sigh….. This year has been like no other right!? - meaning we are all wanting, and needing, to squeeze all the joy we can out of Christmas this year.

Feeling those warm fuzzy vibes that are so important for well being, and mental health, the real message of Christmas, we know, is not about gifts, or material things but about those we love. This year lots of us will be unable to see and spend time with our tribe, so although not fundamental, sending cards and gifts this year will feel extra special.

With limited opportunity to visit the high street, we have all been able to relax in our own homes and search online for gifts and goodies. Finding the perfect present for your mum, partner or friend takes time and consideration, so I thought I’d help out and share a selection of our favourite goods, sure to put a smile on your loved one’s faces when they unwrap on Christmas day.

**Remember we can send parcels directly to your chosen ones, just add a gift message at the checkout and we will gift wrap and send a special card with it, cutting out the middle (post!) man.**
