Support Small Businesses This Autumn

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, autumn is the perfect time to reflect on how we spend our money, and the impact that shopping small can have. This season, we’re encouraging everyone to support small, local businesses like ours who pour their heart and creativity into every product they offer.

Why Supporting Small Businesses Matters

When you buy from a small business, you’re not just purchasing a product; you’re investing in a dream. Small businesses are the lifeblood of local economies, and every sale helps keep independent makers, artisans, and retailers afloat. Unlike large corporations, we operate on a more personal level, offering products with thought, care, and a personal touch that you won’t find anywhere else.

Your support allows us to:

  • Keep producing unique, handmade items
  • Sustain local craftsmanship
  • Provide personalised customer experiences
  • Keep money circulating within the local economy

What We Offer This Autumn

Autumn is an exciting season for us as we prepare for our Christmas product launch and attend several craft markets in the lead-up to the festive season. Whether you’re looking for gifts or a cosy treat for yourself, we have plenty to offer. From our Pink Pepper & Rose candles to the rich, luxurious scents of our Cigar Lounge collection, every product is carefully made by hand.

Visiting our stall at local markets is a great way to experience our range in person. You can chat with us about the products, smell the fragrances, and even find a perfect gift for someone special. It’s also a great way to explore a community of other talented makers and discover new small businesses.

How You Can Make a Difference

Here are a few ways you can support small businesses this autumn:

  1. Shop local: Whether at markets or online, purchasing from small, independent businesses keeps the local economy thriving.
  2. Spread the word: Share your favourite small businesses with friends and family, or give us a shout out on social media to help us reach new customers.
  3. Leave a review: Your feedback helps us improve and gain the trust of new customers. If you’ve bought from us, consider leaving a review on Trustpilot, Google or Facebook.
  4. Buy handmade gifts: With the festive season around the corner, now’s the perfect time to get ahead on your gift shopping. Handmade gifts have that special, personal touch and support artisans directly.
