Christmas Directory
The EGG Christmas Directory is back for its second year! Another glorious collation and celebration of fabulously talented girl-led independents. As I watched the submissions come in I was struck, not for the first time, by the breadth and quality of these businesses, struck once again by the sheer talent in our pool. It’s massively rewarding to pull them together and place them onto this beautiful platform. I hope you enjoy. More than that, I hope you shop, support and share far and wide. Let’s give these amazing ladies a reason to do a little jig this Christmas, and really support our local girl gang. Let’s hear it for the Girls! Merry Christmas Love,

Showcasing some of the UK’s finest craftmanship, alongside some well known and international brands, it has a wide variety of toys, books and other gifts suitable for children of all ages, and stockings of all sizes!
We thought the kids skiwear market was boring, that there weren’t any stand-out brands and everything looked pretty similar. So we decided to do something about it! To bring our suits to life, we recruited the help of children’s illustrator Jane Foster who has created a character and storybook for each suit design, included with every order. www.facebook.com/WoodenToysEdinburgh
