Christmas is such a busy time of year for everyone, so don’t forget to support other small businesses that provide essential services too. Why not book your Christmas cleaner, pet sitter or dog walker in advance?
You can also support your local:
🥩 Butchers
🥦 Greengrocers & farm shops
💐 Florists
💅 Beauty therapists & nail technicians
✈️ Travel agents
🚕 Local taxi firms
💄 Avon representatives & skincare advisors
🧁 Local bakers — perfect for those Christmas coffees and treats!
☕️♨️ And for the coffee and hot-tub lovers, EDS Tranquillity have some fantastic coffee machines and hot tubs to explore.
❤️ And most importantly, remember that Christmas can be a difficult and worrying time for many families, especially with the ongoing cost-of-living pressures. If you’re able to help, toy, clothing and food donations can make a huge difference to families who need a little extra support.
Every purchase, recommendation, share and donation can make a difference.
🎄 This Christmas, let’s shop local, support small and spread a little kindness. 🥰❤️
