I've just ordered 10 cards from her. I went on the site when you first mentioned it but then forgot to order.

Highly recommend https://pencilmeinshop.co.uk

I ordered personalised pencils and motivational prints for the kids going back to school and they were very reasonable and sent them beautifully packaged so quickly. Liv couldn't believe it when she opened the pencils in her favourite colours with special messages :love:

They have some really nice stationery.

Organic nightwear - I bought a lovely soft pair of trousers for lounging about in, plus a new hot water bottle & cover.

The HWB can also be bought direct from https://www.harriettgrist.com/

Can anyone recommend a small business doing diffusers? I need to order some for our office and would rather go to an individual than The White Company. I did try Etsy but I got some minging scents which have put me off. Thanks.

I bought some from a small business on Black Pound Day and honestly they are disgusting. :mog: So, I'm very sorry but no. If you find someone then let me know

Skye Candles have diffusers, Lily. I’ve sniffed the candles, and they’re lovely. You could also try Wax Lyrical.

Not what you’re asking, I know, but when you say you want them for work, have you checked that other people won’t mind having scented things in the offices? I’d find it really unbearable, which is why I ask (despite liking to have scented things around me at home). Sorry if I’ve missed something obvious.

Thanks all! Ella, we only have them in the loos (so yes). They're better than those machines that spray air freshener every so often.

Oh god, definitely! Those things are so grim. They always get me in the ear somehow :bite:.

Lily, if you haven’t already ordered, House of Rothach seems to be popular in a local shop, and there is currently a sale on some things.

They come in plastic-free compostable packaging too.

We still occasionally buy from here, and they're currently doing free postage (which is usually about £4 so makes a big difference when it's the girls wanting to buy a small amount with their own money rather than a big bulk order). The code is MARCHON.
