Gift-giving whilst social distancing? Celebrate special occasions, and support local businesses at the same time.

Life as we know it might have us confined to our houses but don’t let that stop you celebrating the milestones. Isolation doesn't halt the birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions to get excited about. 
But how can you find the perfect gift from home? Browse through our guide, make a purchase and have it delivered to their door, that’s how. 

Here's a list to find something to cherish the special people in your life, and help support local small businesses at the same time.
