:duh: I just noticed that you posted that ages ago and they’re closed now. I’m sorry to see that, :fc: it’s just temporary.

I have just ordered a set of cards on your recommendation, Tits, and had a pair of earrings delivered from Ruby's niece yesterday; they are gorgeous :love2:

Annoyingly I’m still waiting for my remover pads. She only lives up the road. :lg:

Bit niche this one, but if you are in East Dorset - or know anyone locally - my friend's brother's plant business is really struggling. Loads of beautiful plants and no way to sell them;

I have cheered myself up by ordering some chocolate from this tiny little shop which is close to where my grandparents lived. I've been thinking of doing so for about 2 weeks.

This is a small business local to me. I am not vegan but I do favour a vegan jelly sweet.

They come in plastic-free compostable packaging too.

My 6 year old greatly appreciates that link. We’ve just placed a Viva order to try some vegan maltesers and smarties but she’s also partial to jelly sweets, so we’ll try them next!

A very good friend of mine since I was 15. Struggling with health issues, he finally got a break with his art and was selling and doing ok at Broadway Market on Saturdays. He will have nothing.

I’ve just ordered one of his prints, I love them. It was only a little one as I’ve nowhere to put a big one.

I bought one too actually, a while back (Hoxron to the City). It’s very nice.

Not quite as gifty as the other suggestions here but D has put together a comprehensive budget planner as a side hustle if that would be of interest to anyone. It includes things like planning for annual costs and putting money aside for them each month and allows you to split costs if you share them with someone else.

If you'd like to have a look this link gives 25% off at checkout.

I've just ordered some home delivery frozen curries from a local company that usually does a pop up stand at events & weddings. Very much looking forward to those. :yummeh:

If you message the owner he will give you 50% off.
