Let's summarise 2020 so far as a flaming refuse receptacle, with a lot of very strong lessons we should all be learning from and changing from. OK? OK. (There is so much I care about, but this isn't the blog for it) You should know that I always extoll the virtues of supporting small businesses, but during this year's mess I've realised the value of a whole extra angle - Yes, it really does make you feel good to support small. There's a mix of things in this, so let's have a dig into it!

One of the reasons why I enjoy a good cup of tea is the sheer variety available. There's a brew to suit any palate, with a little exploring of the options - which is where Very Craftea's sample bags come in!  I've recently tried four of their teas, so take a break yourself, and find out about them with me.
The message to shop small and support independent businesses is louder than ever these days, but when it comes to gifts, it can sometimes feel simpler to go " I'll just order them that thing from online" or grab an easy go-to from the gift section of a big retail chain. You find an amazing range of (sometimes fantastically specific) gift options by shopping small, at a range of prices, and you can often even get into direct contact with the creator, potentially asking for exactly what your recipient will love. Here are six great gifts ideas which support small and independent business - so grab a brew, have a quick think, then hit up the internet, markets and lovely local bricks and mortar stores.
1. Go for their hobbies, in unexpected ways!Everyone has things they love, and sometimes that means easy gift go-tos. Get the gardener another plant-your-own kit... But have a look away from the chain stores, and you'll find the tangential ideas, which may well delight them as a change from getting the same kind of thing over and over. How about some really good scrubby and moisturing soap for your the hands of your garden loving recipient?
Try somewhere like Etsy, and search for terms like gardener gift, or West Ham gift, or even Lily Savage gift! However niche you think their interest is, someone will make something for it. |
