Christmas, the time for giving … great personal gifts from wonderful small businesses and creatives who pour their heart and soul into their work. Yeah, I thought so! You will know by now, if you’ve been around here for a while, that I looove small businesses and how special their products are, crafted with real care and love. Over the years I have come across, and shared, many fantastic wee ventures but something else I’ve been doing for a while now (when I remember!!) is stashing the business cards of these wonderful brands. The intention behind this? I’m creating a little catalogue of great places to support and buy presents from, be that for a birthday or in the festive season and today, you guessed it – I’m sharing it with you for the ultimate festive gift inspiration. Ahh I just love them all so much, have fun!
