Thoughtful Christmas gifts

Thoughtful Christmas gifts This Christmas, we’re making it our mission to encourage people to ‘Shop With Meaning’. What that means is to think thoughtfully not just about what you’re buying but who you’re buying from. It means no matter how many presents you’d like to buy, thoughtful is always better than more. With the news pretty depressing (understatement!), we wanted to spread some positivity and share the ways you can ‘Shop With Meaning’ this Christmas. Scroll down for how you can get involved in our Christmas mission to support and shout about small businesses far and wide…

Starting your Christmas shopping early is never a bad thing. We may have a thing for organisation, but shopping early doesn’t just benefit you, it helps small businesses financially and is much better than an influx of orders over a very short period. You can also feel super smug that you have started ticking off your list and less panicked as the big day approaches.

Shop with conscience

Think about what you’re buying and who you’re buying it from. Just one gift from a small business this Thoughtful Christmas gifts can make a massive difference. You might not realise it at the time but that can be all the power needed to keep a small businesses thriving.  Small businesses typically tend to have small carbon footprints too – so you’re doing more good deeds than you might realise.

Know thoughtful gifts are better than more

Less is more! We’re big believers that just one thoughtful gift is much better than lots of gifts under the tree. Not only does it put less pressure on you this Christmas, putting that extra thought into your gift is something money cannot buy.
