Five Small Businesses You Can Support This Festive Season

2020 has been a struggle for everyone, but no-one more than small-business owners. This Christmas, why not buy your gifts (or at least some of them!) from businesses that offer personalised, bespoke and extra-special presents! We've rounded up five of our favourite businesses that we know you'll love - because, let's be real, Jeff Bezos doesn't need any more of your money.

An up-and-coming crochet business, @ChillyWillyCrochet crafts everything from handmade halterneck tops, cute one-of-a-kind keyrings and bespoke hats. The brand takes requests and will work with you to create the perfect gift! Our personal faves include a crocheted Baby Yoda, some adorable pumpkins and, of course, that fiery red top.

To get your hands on some ChillyWillyCrochet goodies, just drop the brand a DM on IG. Cute, quirky crocheted gifts are just a click away.

From handmade coasters and bookmarks to earrings and keyrings, @bigmamalusresins makes gorgeous gifts decorated with flowers, gold flakes and rich colours. The perfect gift for that friend that loves a bit of personalisation, our personal favourite pieces are the brand's to-die-for coasters.

To get your hands on the perfect gift from BigMamaLusResins, you can visit the brand's Etsy page or DM them on IG for more info.

If customised sneakers are your thing (or their thing), you need to know about Custom Sneakers. Offering up some seriously cute, hand-painted Nike Air Force 1s. We're obsessed with the Cosmic Hands AF1 and we cannot get enough of the Dandelion pair.
