Shop small and local this Christmas

Don’t panic… but it’s just 19 more sleeps until Christmas.

As a nation we spend the equivalent of a week (163 hours) preparing for the entire Christmas season, with females taking on the heavy load of buying and wrapping presents, and more.

Two thirds (66%) would be happy to know their Christmas gift also supported a small business according to new research by Holly & Co. Additionally, 64% said they would rather receive a truly thoughtful gift than a big pile of presents.
