The Community News is proud to support local businesses this Christmas
Following our very successful gift guide in 2020, we’ve brought it back for a second year!
At the Community News, we’re all about loving local and so the aim of this guide, is to showcase what our brilliant community of independent businesses has to offer over the festive season.
We’d like to encourage people to see beyond the national chains and big corporate stores, and to shop locally and look a little closer to home.
You can often find much more personal gifts shopping on your local high street, as well as unique and quirky gifts too! If you’re not sure what someone would like, but know they love a certain shop, you could always get them a voucher for one of our fabulous local businesses.
Gift vouchers are a godsend for those people who are tricky to buy for! The recipient can then choose to purchase whatever they like – taking the gift-pressure off you! Take a look through our excellent selection of local shops, all offering gift vouchers this festive season.
In another tough year following the pandemic, it’s more important than ever before to support local, independent businesses this Christmas! So… please take a look!
