Holly & Co

WELCOME TO MY INSPIRATION HUB

I’ve filled this to the brim with unique ideas from brilliant small businesses, so if you don’t know where to start, check out my ‘one-of-a-kind gifts’, or ‘occasions done differently’ collections. They’re great (if I do say so myself!) for forward-planning and prepping for those upcoming celebrations in your diary.

Sadly, it’s no joke that 57% of the UK’s small businesses are at risk of closure this year. So we really need to come together, vote with our money and shop independent — now, more than ever.

The good news is, there are so many ways to show your support — from choosing an independent cafe over a chain for your morning coffee fix, to picking up your veggies from the local greengrocer. Then, of course, there’s buying something truly one-of-a-kind from a creative business (see below). Happy shopping (small)…
