THE INDEPENDENT GIFT GUIDE

One of my favourites to compile! You might recognise a few of these items from my own collections (edit what you know, right?). My son has the Cissy Wears purse for his coins, I bought Afropop socks for Chris (don’t worry, he helped me pick the styles so I’m not ruining a surprise), my dad loves Nina Parker’s sauces (ended up repurchasing himself!) and I bought the patch for a flamingo loving niece!
