nature's finest from uk indies
It’s second nature to UK indies and creatives to produce imaginative and thoughtful gift ideas.
So give them the theme of #naturegiftsday and you’re guaranteed a bumper yield.
That was certainly the case on the Twitter 'shop indie' showcase #UKGiftHour #UKGiftAM at the weekend.
We asked for gift ideas inspired by nature – following up the #ConnectWithNature theme adopted by the Mental Health Foundation during #MentalHealthAwarnessWeek – and frankly, there were scenes. And jewellery. And homeware. And all manner of beauty.
Here are some pickings from the first bloom of what was provided by more than 130 makers. We’ll share more when we get the chance.
