Despite the squeeze on the high street and it becoming harder and harder to keep small business alive there are still so many amazing ones battling against the big online conglomerates and boy, are they doing a good job!

Saturday 3rd December is Small Business Saturday.  Now I love the ease of online shopping and companies such as Amazon, ASOS and NEXT are doing a brilliant job at making shopping easier and more efficient.  However, what they lack is the personal touch and that tender loving care you can only get by shopping independent.  Despite the squeeze on the high street and it becoming harder and harder to keep small business alive there are still so many amazing ones battling against the big online conglomerates and boy, are they doing a good job!

In a nutshell, Small Business Saturday is a UK grassroots, non-commercial campaign which highlights small business success and encourages shoppers to “shop local”.  Although it lasts for just a day, the campaign aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses.

These are a few gorgeous things from some of my favourite small businesses.  Be sure to check out some of the generous discount codes on offer!
