With various lockdown measures in place across the UK, you may struggle to get out to the shops, or not feel safe doing so.
Instead of ordering on Amazon, go local this year and support small UK businesses which will happily deliver gifts to your nearest and dearest in time for Christmas. Here are a few to get you started.
7. The Yorkshire Soap Company
Based in York, The Yorkshire Soap Company was founded by Marcus and Warren, who - from their kitchen table - were inspired to start making soap. Choose between artisan soap gift boxes and bath truffle gift boxes, or spoil someone special with a luxury hamper. Photo: The Yorkshire Soap Company
