Gifting is about finding that special item or experience that fits someone that you care about. It’s a considered purchase that shows that person that you get them and appreciate having them in your life.

Christmas can feel like an overwhelming time with the big businesses bombarding you with ads as soon as Halloween finishes but I urge you to give thought to the small businesses and creators in your local area. A pound spent with them is a vote for human creativity and craftsmanship and more of that money goes back into the local economy ensuring your community thrives.

With that in mind, I have some gift ideas for the adventurers, the nature lovers and those in your life who are stepping into their colourful era.
