I take great pride in sourcing ingredients and manufacturing in Britain, I think it is important. This Christmas, I want to share some gift ideas from other amazing small British brands. There are so many British brands doing amazing things, there is never a better time to shop British.
These are just a few British brands that I have been drooling over and would love to see in my Christmas stocking on the big day.
I am lusting over this deliciously cosy hot water bottle, made with natural cotton and filled with bamboo to give it a thick and warm finish from Cosy Panda.
Decadently luxe, and made from recycled plastic.
I lam in love with my rainfall drop earrings from Tulip Jewellery. Modern and simple, they ooze style.
Tulip is owned by the amazing Shelley, the jewellery is sublime and the service second to none, I highly recommend for pared back luxury.
I have the perfect place in my bedroom for this beautiful handmade circular cushion.
Hand made by knitwear designer Lola Swift, in the softest chunky Merino wool, locally knitted in Bath. Cosy, beautiful and stylish.
I am loving this silver grey wool blanket, woven in a beehive design from artist and designer Rebecca Pitcher.
Thick and cosy and the perfect shade. Made in a woollen mill in Wales in partnership with a heritage British manufacturer.
I can imagine wearing this smart cashmere headwrap in cerulean blue as I explore (or get lost) in the crisp Devon countryside.
Made by British knitwear label Oubas in Cumbria, they specialise in Elegant womenswear in natural fibres; lambswool, merino, cashmere.
No gift guide would be complete without chocolate, and these beauties come from award winning chocolatier Aneesh Popat.
Aneesh focuses on water based ganaches (which sounds like its got to be healthier right?) to bring out the hidden flavours from within the heirloom chocolates that he uses.
This classic box contained a selection of mouth watering dark, milk and white chocolates.
There are so many British brands doing amazing things, this is never a better time to shop British.
These are just a few personal favourites.

The idea behind The Rose Tree is about feeling amazing. The best ingredients for the job, not the cheapest. The finest natural and organic plant oils, and essential oils selected for their effectiveness.
I am all about being small, because small means personal, and comes with great service. I want finding beauty that works to be easy. I am passionate about manufacturing in Britain, sourcing ingredients ethically and being able to give a little back to the world.
Simplicity is good.
I care about making my products safe and healthy for you—and our planet. I package the majority of products in glass. I am extremely picky about my ingredients. We never test our products on animals.
I also partner up with Buy1Give1 (B1G1), a social enterprise and non-profit organisation with a mission to create a world full of giving. Unlike conventional giving models, B1G1 helps small and medium-sized businesses achieve more social impact by embedding giving activities into everyday business operations and creating unique giving stories.
That means, with your help, we can make a small but positive difference.
