Amy is my amazing designer, she creates all the beautiful flower illustrations and packaging, so it's no surprise that I absolutely adore her products. Amy sells fun and cute sticker sheets, washi tape and is just my 12 year old selfs dream. A particularly good business to support if you have children too!

Charlotte has a beautiful business where she preserves peoples special flowers in her ceramics. Charlotte is going to preserve my wedding flowers and creates the most stunning pieces.

Laura's confectionery

https://www.laurasconfectionery.co.uk/

Laura is a bundle of energy and I cannot recommend her sweets more! The Peach ones are INCREDIBLE! Laura is not only an inspiration business-wise, but is a really inspiring person to follow. Ed's favourite is the fudge...! Cannot recommend this more!

 

Hicks & Brown

https://www.hicksandbrown.com

I love wearing my Suffolk Fedora hat around the garden or long walks in the woods in Winter! They're a real lifetime piece and are wonderfully crafted. There's not many lifestyle brands I recommend, but I would recommend Hicks & Brown in a heartbeat!

Doodling Lucy

Lucy runs Doodling Lucy where she creates incredible stationery based on her core values of supporting British Farming and Mental Health. I have bought one of her Annual calendars which has a new piece of British countryside art. I also use Lucy's weekly planner every day- it brings me so much joy on my desk and is such a wonderful way of keeping track of all things TRPG. Make sure you follow Lucy on instagram too @doodlinglucy as she shares so many wonderful in season recipes and reasons to support British farmers.

Full disclaimer: This is Ed's business so I am obviously very biased, but I absolutely adore his British grown flowers. You can sign up for weekly, fortnightly or monthly subscriptions online and you'll receive the freshest and most beautiful flowers!

 

Plant Grow

https://www.plantgrow.co.uk/

Now a pile of compost or mulch might not be the ideal Christmas present for everyone, but to me it would be HEAVEN! Grab a voucher to send to a gardener and make their crumbly dark compost dreams come true this year! A wonderful business based near me in Norfolk- can't recommend them enough!

Stunning candles with preserved flowers. These are more than just 'another candle company'. Also check out the preserved flower candle holders- I have three in my bedroom and they always bring me a smile.

 

Enamel Happy

https://enamelhappy.co.uk/

Run by Tracey, Enamel Happy is all about going on adventures. The business sells enamelware from mugs to tea towels and placemats. All with bright and colourful prints. I adore my enamel mug which I use in the garden and as it is lightweight it's easy to take on adventures too!
