This Christmas Shopping ideas roundup is where you can find all my Gift Guides and Christmas ideas. In one handy place. Plus, if you scroll down I am sharing some ideas and tips just for the shop owner.
I create a lot of shopping inspiration at this time of year (and all year), purely to help people shop at independent shops online. It is hard to find the independent shops online as the big corporates and marketplaces of this world, hog the top pages of Google. Which is such a shame and the main reason why I created Love Our Shops UK.
Are you keen to shop independent this Christmas? Do you want to find independent shops online? Like me, are you keen to spend most (if not all) of your Christmas shopping money with small businesses?
I have created lots of handy Gift Guides and product showcases, to help you find these amazing shops online. You can find all the different shopping lists I have created here. Helping you navigate all my Christmas shopping ideas.
…and if you run an independent shop online and want to be part of this content, then you can be. You can find all the details in my Give Your Shop Extra Visibility This Christmas blog post. But be quick, as the offer ends 30th October.Â

Why as an Independent Online Shop You Should Take Part in Black Friday
By all means, if Black Friday doesn’t align with your business values, it’s okay to sit it out, you do you. Travel in your own lane, no judgement here.
It is important to do what you feel is right for your business and only you know what that is. But before you automatically say no way am I getting involved in the nonsense that is Black Friday, I encourage you to think about whether there is something you can do that will benefit your business and your wonderfully loyal customers.
It is a shame to automatically step back because, like me, you think Black Friday is a bad thing.  It is happening, it is huge, so don’t let the faceless corporates of this world, reap all the rewards from it, you take your piece of the action. Sharing lots of ideas how small businesses can take part without killing profits and several reasons why you should grab your piece of the action.
You can find lots of independent online shops on my shopping directory My Indie Edits and my Collections page have even more inspiration and ideas to help you too.
I have really enjoyed pulling together this Christmas shopping ideas roundup. So many wonderful independent online shops here in the UK. We should all be shopping with them and supporting them to thrive and remain in our future.
If you want to keep up to date with all that I share and for more inspiration, offers and finds, add yourself to my Lovely List and I will email you little updates. I don’t inundate with lots of emails (as I know how annoying that is). Sign up is in the top right corner.
Happy browsing and I really hope this list has helped you shop independent this Christmas.
