Remember this Christmas it is more important than ever to #ShopSmall! Please drop any independent shops/creatives/restaurants/cafes that you love who might need some help this year! 
I’ll start by sharing some faves. First up Matico. As well as an NHS nurse, Mati is an amazing lampshade&jewellery maker based in Cardiff. Proceeds from her shop supports struggling international fabric companies whilst also funding a school in Ghana! https://etsy.me/38qzBDx
Next up is YippeeAdventures based in Keynsham. They create amazing activity boxes for children and my nephews and nieces have trialled most of them! https://yippeeadventures.co.uk
Next is CaractacusPots from London. Absolutely incredible quirky pottery - I own a couple of her beautiful noodle bowls and a jewellery bowl! https://etsy.me/2F6srpf
Now for my beauty regime... FolkSoap based in sunny Swansea do incredible goat milk soap and others which are all I use now as it’s very kind to skin and made without all the nasties! https://etsy.me/2hMLv5F
Can’t forget HotFoils, my sister in laws fab little lockdown project that became really successful! Fun prints with lots of customisable options. Trust me when I say you’re fuelling a massive passion if you buy from this one https://etsy.me/3n7JT3n
If you want some hearty welsh coffee, give Teifi Coffee a go (personal fave is the dragon). They’re a little company based in rural west wales! https://etsy.me/35OVdJw
