9 Gift Ideas from Independent Brands to Shop Small this Christmas
#SHOPSMALL
With Christmas just around the corner (!) 🎄 I thought I'd put together a Small Business Gift Guide to celebrate some of my fave independent makers and brands.
From home-wear & jewellery to calendars & crochet cuteness, there's something here for everyone and to suit all budgets!
I would love to know if you do buy anything from this list - so make to DM on Instagram or send me a wee email 😀
