Small business owners are passionate about the joy their products bring and what better way to celebrate the season than to give gifts from independent brands that are thoughtful, ethical and sustainable.
We’ve put together a Christmas Gift List to inspire you and share the love this season.

Ditch the Waste, Embrace Memorable Experiences this Christmas!
Here's a thing each year, the UK spends £700 million on unwanted Christmas gifts. Consumers throw away approximately £42 million of unwanted presents each year (most end up in landfill). Of all purchases made in the UK for Christmas, only 1% will still be used six months after the big day! That's just a few reasons that Buy Women Built member Calypso Rose set up experience gift company The Indytute. Handpicked experiences that are "lovefilled not landfilled" run by people that love what they do. From full moon paddle boarding to pottery to foraging. Unusual and unique experiences that you won't find with all the big experience gift companies.
To help you shop with small businesses and give good times, The Indytute has given us a 10% discount with the code: KIND2CHRISTMAS (valid until Dec 7th) https://www.indytute.com/discount/KIND2CHRISTMAS
