Shop Independent! Christmas Gift Guide 2020

Shop Independent! Christmas Gift Guide 2020

I think we can all agree 2020 has been an exhausting year and as Christmas approaches I am being very mindful of where I shop and spend my money. This year it is more important than ever to shop with those small businesses that you love. Independent businesses bring diversity and vibrancy to our communities - they create our culture. When you support them, you support someones passion and that money will most likely be circulated back in the community. 

With makers markets cancelled and a lot of our beautiful indie stores having to close, it's a bit harder to discover new creative businesses that you love. I've enjoyed seeing other creatives share their favourite accounts on Instagram so I wanted to do something similar. Below are 25 of my favourite small, creative businesses for others who are aiming to shop small and looking for some gift inspiration.
