5 small businesses you should support this Christmas - Blogmas 2

I don't know about you, but I am sick to death of buying people smellies for Christmas. I love a miniature shower gel as much as the next person but I'm pretty sure everyone I know receives about fifty of them a year.

Now I like to get my Christmas shopping done early, so if you're like me this probably isn't going to be much help, but if you're not, here's 5 small businesses that deserve your money, and will get you a lovely, unique gift for your loved one.



1) Bestitched.

Slightly cheating here because I know and love Beckie, but if you're after cosy, personal, homeware, hats and baby blankets she's your gal. I have no idea when she stops doing Christmas commissions so if you like what you see, I'd hit her up (via instagram) ASAP.

2) Swivlit

Ok I know Tupperware isn't the MOST exciting gift but if you know someone that takes their lunch to work and can't heat it up, they will love you for this. It's one of those '12 hours hot 24 hours cold' food pots except it can be microwaved (loads of them can't and I don't see the point), and can actually work as a slow cooker!

3) GeorgiouDraws

Laurens prints speak for themselves, paired with a lovely frame they make a great gift. Often the watercolour designs are neutral colours that can go in anyone's home colour scheme, which makes it a really easy option.

4) Joanna Behar/Deadcutepins

Because these two are very similar and i couldn't choose. We all know someone that collects enamel pins, and these are just really fun! My personal favourites are the pixel hearts from Joanna Behar and the princess Peach crown from Deadcutepins

5) Latham illustrations

Again, prints make a great gift but Jenny also does christmas cards and festive stickers that just make gift wrapping more fun.


Fingers crossed I've linked everything right.
