Screw Amazon, leave your favourite independent shop links here, please!

[Blackbird1234]

I'm adamant not to buy any Christmas gifts on Amazon at all this year, so am looking for online independent shops and am making a massive list of them that I can come back to every Xmas from now on.

I thought it could be good to start a thread where everyone can link their favourite online shops. Absolutely any genre welcome!

Hand crafted resin clocks and resin pyramids

[quote incognitomum]@SallySolardel thanks for the links. I've just ordered ds1 a hamper. He'll love it. He's 23 and has his own house. Loves fancy food [/quote]
Yay! You'll love it! I bought some for my partner earlier this year, and he immediately bought some for his brother.

I've just bought some bits from Rockways :-)

Lovely jewellery to treat yourself or for gifts... handmade in London by the designer.

Also I think she has a pre-Xmas sale on if you follow her on Instagram.

This shop is great, very cute and positive things. She's taking a break at the moment but I'm told that she'll be back before Christmas.

Stonesfield Soap - beautiful hand made soaps, including a special range of bee soaps supporting the Conservation Trust

SaNook gifts is a lovely gift shop in Keswick. I always go there when I visit. She's obviously closed but selling online at the moment.

This lady makes lovely eco friendly decor, baskets etc. I think she also sells recycled yarn.

I don’t know how to do links but google Alice In Scandiland and have a look at her on line shop.
Her actual shop in Lostwithiel is gorgeous but most of what she sells is now available online

Wolf & Badger. I keep spending fortunes on their website.

I've been trying to buy some lovely bits from small businesses alongside the usual amazon orders so will take a look at these links.

I loved Phoenix trading so thanks to the pp for the Flamingo Paperie link.

I've bought some really nice baby gifts from a company I found on Etsy, Monica and Me ( www.etsy.com/shop/monicaandme/)

Devon wick have got wax melts in lovely packaging and lots of different varieties.

My fave brownie company have started selling a chocolate brownie wreath which looks a really dun treat and something a bit different ( www.sweettreatkitchen.co.uk/shop )

I'm on the lookout for some wrapping paper, something out of the ordinary if possible, if anyone has any recommendations?

Some of our local independent shops are doing click and collect/ delivery and I'm going to try and do that a bit this year to support them.

Instead of buying pretty much everything from Amazon. And I'll still get stuff from Amazon. Before anyone freaks out that my action will cause them to close down
