When we buy from a small business, they feel the impact of your purchase in such a magical way. Whether that’s a piece of bespoke furniture or a yoga class, the result is always the same.

I recently saw a post in which an entrepreneur thanked a customer for a large sale. She said ‘this has paid for my food shop this week’. How amazing is that? When we buy something beautiful and unique, we’re also supporting a hardworking individual to follow their dream and live their life.

So, in this Gift Guide, I’m showcasing some of my favourite gifts from small and independent businesses. This Christmas, take time to shop small and support those who are boldly doing amazing things - and trying to make a living from it.

Dive on in. I do hope you find some festive inspiration to #shopindependent this Christmas.
