Black Friday is here, and while many shoppers are hunting for huge discounts, it’s a very different story for small businesses like ours. We work with tight margins and focus on offering high-quality, ethically made products at fair prices — not mass-produced items designed for deep discounting.
Unlike big retailers, small independent shops and makers can’t slash prices without hurting the people behind the products. That’s why this year, while everyone talks about Black Friday deals, we’re looking ahead to Small Business Saturday — a day dedicated to celebrating the independent brands that prioritise quality, craftsmanship and sustainability.
As the festive season approaches, your support for small producers makes a real difference. Here are just a few of the incredible makers we’re proud to work with:
Featured Small Business Suppliers
Goat Rodeo – Handmade pickles and seasonings crafted in small batches in West Scotland.
Single Variety – Premium jams made using just one fruit variety per jar, highlighting its unique flavour, aroma and colour.
Lazy Scientist – Home-fermented hot sauces created in small batches by Steve in Brixton.
Dr Sting – Delicious hot honey, made and bottled by hand in SE London.
