#ukgiftam hits indie sales landmark
More than 50 UK indies and creatives can now call themselves #UKGiftHourPower players!
That’s the number of makers who have achieved sales on #UKGiftHour #UKGiftAM since the the Twitter #shopindie showcase began.
A flurry of purchases at the weekend saw the landmark figure reached.
“It’s no mean feat and it could easily be more than that,” said #UKGiftHour creator David Knight. “These figures rely on what feedback we’ve received – many, many more makers could have achieved sales without us knowing.”
Among the latest gift ideas and creatives attracting the call of the ker-ching were (clockwise from top left):
- Handmade sea glass jewellery by west of Scotland lochside designer ArgyllSeaGlass
- Baby keepsake pebble by Manchester creative Pebbles4Thought
- Headband/ear warmer by Hertfordshire slow fashion knitter KnitsandBobsKLR
