It wasn’t only last year when shopping small at Christmas was important, this year it is just as important to shop small and support independent businesses. As is now a Yogipod tradition I have pulled together some pieces from some amazing small businesses I have come across this year and once again created The Small Business Christmas Gift Guide.
I hope you find some inspiration amongst these gift ideas and discover some businesses who are new to you.
