Presents wrapped under the tree already or are you one of those last minute types? 👀🎄 Either way, this year #BuyLessBuyBetterBuyHandmade for a more conscious Christmas and take pride in knowing you've supported an independent business. ✨ Tips for makers ✨ • Post your work with the hashtag #BuyLessBuyBetterBuyHandmade • Tell your product’s story - highlighting the passion, skill and craftsmanship that went into each item • Like, comment and share work from others to spread the word ✨ Tips for shoppers ✨ • Write a wish list to send to loved ones and ask them to do the same (we love to screenshot websites and tap the save button on Instagram) • Club together or play Secret Santa to buy bespoke craft with a higher price tag • Plan ahead - is there a small stockist you could order from instead of a big business? • Book a festive workshop to learn a new skill and invest in local venues • Gift a craft experience • Seek out eco-friendly wrapping paper, cards, and crackers for bonus points! Go onnnn, share this post to your story and encourage everyone to SHOP SMALL. 🎁🛍🛒💝 With thanks to our friends @Folksy, @heritagecraftsassociation, @Craft Festival, @GNCCF and craft advocates @jaybladesmbe, @KeithBrymerJones and @SuePryke.
