#WeWillMakeChristmas – Small Businesses Gift Guide for the 2020 Festive Season
We’ve always been passionate supporters of small, independent businesses, but in 2020, it’s more important than ever to vote with your £££ and make informed choices that will help keep the nation’s incredible small businesses afloat. That’s why we’ll be putting together a weekly Christmas gift guide – to show you just how awesome our small, independent businesses are.
Not only does a purchase from a small, independent business guarantee gifts that are made with oodles of love and dedication, it also means the lucky recipient will no doubt reap the benefits of a one-of-a-kind, special present.
From art to fashion, skin-care to soft furnishings and foodie to personalised perfection, the power of social media means you won’t be short of small, independent businesses to support during the run-up to Christmas and beyond. The offerings are so good that we may have accidentally been hitting ‘add to cart’ whilst putting together these lists of gift-worthy picks!
So, this year, let’s try to leave the high street behind and look to one of the incredible small businesses making fun, quirky and artisanal products that will make great gifts for your loved ones.
From pretty peg dolls to a cuddle in a candle, we’ll be presenting weekly rundowns featuring some of the best gifts that the UK’s small businesses have to offer.
