Small Businesses we love this Christmas
Small businesses run by real people
Nadinoo
Nadia of Nadinoo hand makes beautiful pieces in the gorgeous town of Oakham. Her Shibuiwear range is inspired by Japanese simplicity and texture. My personal favourite, the Padded Cardis would make the perfect gift over these colder winter months.
She also sells a range of household items inspired by a move to slow, sustainable living. You can check out the website here

Cedar Lifestyle
Cedar Lifestyle was founded by Lizzie, who hand makes vegan, soy wax candles in her Manchester studio.
As she explains on her website
’Cedar is all about simplicity, and this ethos is reflected in both our elegant designs and the ingredients we use. Our long-lasting candles contain only 100% natural essential oils which is combined with our European grown rapeseed wax blend which is a more sustainable alternative to soy or paraffin wax.’
