Small independent shops

[EmpressFlabulonTheWobbulous]

Whilst I love a bargain (thank you bargain thread), I would also like to buy some beautiful gifts from smaller businesses this Christmas. I have a wide range of people to buy for so please share your recommendations!

My recommendations after buying things for myself are:

For book and handbag lovers: Wellread

I have a beautiful ceramic salt pig from: J Star Ceramics

Award winning chocolate from
Cleethorpes: Duffy’s

This shop had lots of Christmassy things when I visited a few years ago.

There was also a few recent threads that has lots of recommendations- not all small businesses though, but I'll link if I can find them.

Here it is. The Link to an even longer thread, is within this one:
Christmas gift for fashionable 34 yo woman | Mumsnet

OP- I just remembered this shop I've bought from before. Some are really not to my taste at all, but some a very nice. hopskipandflutter.co.uk/

@JC03745 That’s great thanks. The jewellery is exactly the type of small business I am after.

There was a great thread in Christmas a few years ago than had pages and pages of independent stores and websites, I bought loads from it.

My offerings Rebecca Tracey for amazing candles and aromatherapy products and Slabb for slightly different chocolate gifts.

What a lovely thread! Thanks @EmpressFlabulonTheWobbulous I've just ordered something from the Wellread company 😍 Will dig through previous years lists in a bit and add my faves.

I love the Glasgow Soap Company for lip balms, bath bombs, bubble bath etc…

Bloom Puzzles for beautiful sustainable jigsaws

Jacc’s Coffee for inventive and quirky flavoured coffees and hot chocolate
