Christmas Gift Guide 2021

#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.

One might consider this to be my personal Chrimbo wish-list... take note family and friends 😉

From home-wear & jewellery to perfume & socks, 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 😀

STUDIO EMMA

Emma released these gorgeous stacking candle holders recently. They come in a range of muted chalky colours (yum) and can be stacked together to create your own bespoke candle set up! 

Choose from Wee // Midi // Tall 

I love that you can choose a mix & match colour palette or go all with one tone; they would make any table stunning this festive season 💖

Candle holders start at £14 each

 

Excell Quilt Co

So this Dusk Quilt wall hanging quilt has been on my "wish list" for aaages..., 

The almost autumnal colour palette is so relaxing and earthy and 100% my colours.. 🍂

Kayleigh is based down in that London and handmakes these beauties

The large Dusk Quilt is priced at £280; with smaller wall hangings starting at just £80

Honeypie Minerals

Claudia makes my all time favourite natural mineral make-up. 

The Bundle Make-Up kit is a great way to get your essentials at a discount. If you're new to the brand or mineral make-up you can always start with Foundation Sample Kit to make sure you're colour matching your skin tone

Claudia also has eco friendly refill options, so once you've bought your sifter jar, you can refill it easy peasy!

Clod & Pebble

One of my fave Scottish ceramicist, Chris makes gorgeous homewares and is just an all round lovely, lovely person

I have one of his 80s inspired Confetti Mugs, but would be happy with pretty much anything from this shop!

Check out the salt pigs and spoon rests to add some scandi style to your kitchen  

Spoon rests will set you back a mere £16.00 (bargain!)

Design-led, ethical socks for everyday living

Forget boring feet, Cat creates super fun socks for both men and women. You can even get Sock Sets. I don't care what you say, I think getting fun socks as presents is a winning gift!

Beth Lamont

Another Edinburgh based maker (I'm biased, yes...) Beth creates bold ceramic jewllery.

I've loved my Adjustable Knot necklace for years now; it always gets comments when I wear it

New (ish) to Beth's line are these slightly more minimal Dottie Necklaces. Perfect for a more understated look; while adding a pop of colour to your outfit 💗🧡

Dottie Necklace: £32.00

I absolutely love her dreamy botanical photography.

Mainly Breakfast

Boyes Botanics

A fresh and dried flower styling studio, Kirsty has branched out in to Reed Diffusers!

Look at how pretty they are! There are four to choose from, I'd select the Rosewood + Moss one which has Citrus notes of pear, leading into amber, English lavender and jasmine. On a base note of sandalwood, vanilla and musk. Yum.

Packaged in glass amber bottles and kraft card boxes, they'll set you back just £22.00
