I am not doing the usual Christmas gift guides this year, as a blogger I have decided to break with tradition and do something a little different.
I am, instead, featuring some lovely small businesses that I think make items that would be perfect if you are looking to support small businesses this Christmas or love the idea of hand-made items.
I am a big fan of hand-made items, made with care, and attention to detail, and also supporting small business owners. Hand made to me says thought has gone into a gift.
So, without further ado, this is part 2 of my hand-made gift guide. Each business is sharing a little bit about themselves and links to where you can find what they make and create…
Craft Ally we make personalised hand painted item in a huge range of colours and themes.
You can’t really go wrong with a personalised item, I don’t think, and her work is fantastic quality, and unique. I am utterly delighted with my personal Christmas reindeer sign, which is sitting perkily on my desk, at work. I will be rather sad to put it away after Christmas…
Hopefully this has given you a taster of some really lovely items, made with care, that might inspire you with some gift ideas that are different and just that little bit more special.
HAPPY SHOPPING!
More gorgeous gift ideas from small businesses – love them! Just think what a difference we could make to so many small businesses if we all bought from them at Christmas (and beyond). No more lining the pockets of non eco-friendly big businesses I say! Will be checking each one out in more detail once I have got through reading all the #GoingGreen posts.
