I have friends who own businesses who have gifted me birthday presents from there. But it's gorgeous hand poured candles that I adore, hand crafted jewellery that they put time and effort into making a one-off piece for me, a selection of clothes from a new range. A good friend is a chef at a very expensive restaurant so he hosted me, my partner and a few friends and didn't charge a cent. All gifts that effort and thought has gone into, and are cherished by me. It's not a dodgy photo album from Alibaba with a mangled quote on the front and a business card shoved inside
