I try to buy all my gifts from small UK-based businesses. I have a few tough-to buy-for people and I end up wandering virtually around masses of small stores looking for inspiration.
I wondered if we could all share our small business recommendations?
Also this could be a place to ask whether people can recommend places to buy a certain gift.
I'll start with some places I can recommend:
The Eden Project Shop - sustainable gifts
Happy & Glorious - gifts
Love The Lakes - items made in the Lakes
Janet Bell - homewares and art
The Bearded Candlemakers - candles, wax melts etc from Ireland
The Future Kept - homeware and gifts
Forage & Find - one-off jewellery pieces
Birdhouse Tea - tea (obvs!)
Bomb Cosmetics - the alternative to Lush
There's also Etsy!
