Our members are brilliant every year, but this year they’ve gone above and beyond in creating some gorgeous products in time for Christmas. And more than ever, this year has showed us the importance of shopping small, supporting small businesses, and shopping local too – so we’ve put together a Christmas 2020 gift guide rounding up some of our favourite indie business gift offerings.
(p.s. this is just Part 1 – you can find Part 2 over on our instagram!)

The Pantry‘s tableware
Next year is going to be the year of communal dining – dinner parties for any occasion and every occasion to make up for lost time this year – so we love the Pantry’s Christmas collection of tableware.
