Here’s an idea….

This year, let’s spend our money at small, local companies.

For example, at that little shop around the corner were they make jewellery, that nice woman with her gorgeous flower shop, the local gift and gadgets store, your neighbours who have a little web-shop, that cute bakery where they make these delicious pies, or that market stand where they sell homemade marmalade.

Go out for dinner & drinks at family owned restaurants and bars.

Let’s make sure most of our money goes to people who work hard and run their business with love.
