Welcome to my Christmas gift guide for 2025! This year, I'm sharing some beautiful creations from fellow small businesses, designers and makers to help you with your Christmas shopping.
Whether you're looking for a piece of jewellery, some stunning art prints, quirky ceramics or nourishing skin care, this guide has you covered!
When you shop with a small business, you can guarantee that a lot of thought goes into that product. The person on the other side might even do a happy dance too! It not only supports these businesses to keep making and designing their lovely products, it also adds a bit more personality and thought to your presents.
So let's get on with it shall we?

Oh Laura
Ok ok, I couldn't create a Christmas gift guide without including some of my own stationery!! If your loved one has a thing for pretty colours, hoards notebooks like nobody's business and loves organisation (or could just do with some organisation in their life!) then I'm your gal.
From notebooks to desk pads, washi tapes to undated planners (with a load of ADHD brain-friendly worksheets and fun activity sheets!) there is something for everyone and all budgets. You can see my whole collection on my website.
