It's #SmallBusinessSaturday, a grassroots, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to shop local and independent, and support small businesses in their communities. It comes at a time when many of us are busy buying Christmas gifts, and acts as a welcome reminder to use your spending power wisely. We published our annual Ethical Gift Guide this week, which is full of sustainably-made gifts, from small, independent businesses. This year’s guide is bigger than ever, and focuses on warm, wonderful gifts. With a challenging winter ahead, increasing the cosy factor, keeping little ones entertained and enjoying the great outdoors whatever the weather are key, plus some self-care with everything from a good read and green beauty, to sweet treats are all on the list. The guide features the likes of @thecraftmongers (pictured here), @weledauk, @ambrosvevers, @yallahcoffee, @blackblumdesign and many, many more.
