Christmas Gift Buying Guide

Happy St Andrew’s Day but also, it’s December tomorrow, whaaaat? If like me you’re now in panic gift buying mode, I hope you’ll find this wee guide helpful. I was about to start my shopping when I thought, why not share the awesome wee businesses I follow on my blog too so that others can find them. I’ve gone through my follows on Instagram and picked out all the ones that I’ve been going ‘ooh!’ at over the year and thought I’ll save this to buy something for so and so.

Most, if not all, are small independent businesses and it’s places like this that I just love to purchase from! The gifts are made with love, super unique and usually packaged up so beautifully! Am I the only one that loves the packaging almost as much as the gift?

Check out my Insta-lust list below and I hope you find something awesome for someone on your Santa list!
