There is nothing we love more than shopping small and sustainably. We know that feeling it gives you (so, SO well from years of having our own brands) as a small business owner, when someone chooses to make their purchase from you. The big brands will still be here in 2025 but will the small businesses make it through... every week, we see more and more amazing shops close their doors. Imagine the difference we could all make if we committed to shopping independent and sustainable this Christmas!
Time is precious, and it’s tempting to shop wherever is easiest, which is why we are SO excited to share our handpicked Small Business Gift Guide with you. Everything is in one place for you to organise your Christmas gifting with the legwork done. We have interacted with every single brand that has made this list, and we would love to be able to support them all at this time of year.
There really is something here for everyone. Please share and let’s see the difference we can make to these businesses this Christmas!
