As social distancing means that many of us will be doing our christmas shopping online this year, I thought I would blog about gift ideas from Indie shops.
Buy purchasing from small shops and designer makers, you are not only getting original and unique gifts for your family and friends, but are also supporting independent businesses who are going to have a harder time surviving this winter than their chain store/online megacorp counterparts, which in turn helps the local economy, keeps local people employed and so on. You'll be supporting real people who really do appreciate each and every sale; I doubt J**f B*zos does a little happy dance every time an order comes through!
These adorable free trade doggy decorations are handmade and come in a range of colours. They are available from Folkestone Wholefoods priced £5.99
At £12 + p&p they won't break the bank, but they will make the recipient break out in smiles ;).
Cat lovers will appreciate this
'Happy Catmas' card, £3.50 from Lucy Alice Designs.
The Woodshed Gallery have these beautiful ceramic brooches, each individually made by artist Amanda Wood. Priced at £27 each plus postage, these are a real treat for animal lovers and come in dog, cat, gold fish, hare, hare and moon and happy fish designs.
I couldn't not include Amanda Wood's charming Polar Bear ceramic figures.
This Pop-Out Christmas cat card/decoration makes a great postal gift for a far away feline fanatic. Doggy, Polar bear and Penguin versions also available.
