Now that we approach the end of a very difficult 2020 it seems that our holidays this year will be a little different this year
Everyone has had a tough time in 2020 and one of those groups really affected by lockdowns are the small, local businesses. Online shopping has become their way to keep going. So with that in mind let’s shop small with unique independent makers and crafters.
Check out these great gift ideas either for yourself (happy holidays to me!) or your favorite yoga and self care fan.
Macrame Rainbow Essential Oil Diffuser
How fun is this? A little handmade rainbow essential oil diffuser for your home or your car. Just a few drops of oil added to the bead and hang wherever you like. It has to be on show somewhere as it’s too cute to hide away!
Organic Meditation Cushion Set
How beautiful is this? Love the meditation cushions but double love the color. If this doesn’t inspire you to sit quietly for a moment of meditation or mindfulness then what will?!!
Wooden Tea Box with Glass Lid
A critical part of any self care day is a hot cup of herbal tea. We’ve all got oodles of these little tea envelopes with the tea cups. Why not give them some extra special storage to make each drink a treat!
Organic Hemp Yoga Mat
100% Handmade. Natural. Biodegradable. What better gift could you give. Ticking all the boxed for a sustainable product to be loved forever!
Yoga Tote Bag
Cross body shoulder Bag. Great for yoga, great for groceries, great for travel. Who doesn’t need foldaway, reusable bag for using again and again and again. In fact, it’s a life essential!
Essential Oil Rack
We’ve all got at least five or six essential oils haven’t we? Whether for our diffuser or body care how useful is this dinky essential oil rack? (fits 15ml bottles, by the way )

Make this year’s holidays a little more special by committing to shop small and support small businesses. Let’s look for a positive from 2020 and maybe we’ll all just convert to the idea of ‘shop small’ going forward. How good would that be? 🙂
