Every time you buy from a local independent retailer you put a smile on their face too! So this year why not choose to buy your card from an independent card shop or local artist, fresh owers from your local orist, edible treats or their favourite tipple from a local artisan, a relaxing treatment from a local beauty salon, or for something extra special some beautiful jewellery from an independent jeweller! If you are on a budget this year why not get cra y and make something extra special using supplies from your local cra shop, or get busy in the kitchen cooking up a delicious meal with fresh meat from the local butchers and veggies from your local greengrocer. For those wishing to push the boat out, book a table at your loved ones favourite independent pub or restaurant. Or stay in and order from a local take away. Whether you’re one for big romantic gestures or prefer to just give a card do try to buy local this year and help safeguard the future of our independent retailers.
