Shopping small in the UK and online can be tricky. So, this year to make it easier, we’ve teamed up with twenty other independent online brands. Our aim is to make shopping small for Christmas simple and packed full of treats for you.
Below is our small business gift guide packed full of present ideas so you can shop small for babies and big kids. Plus, more brands will be joining soon.
How to Shop Small for baby gifts
Here are some of our favourite picks from some of the participating brands- but remember, they all do so much more!

🎁 Sisi & Seb have the most exquisite range of brands on their online boutique- from finding gorgeous Christmas Day outfits from Tocoto, or Louise Amish to these stunning Liewood bib capes for when baby tries their first Brussels sprout 🥴
🎁 Now Binibamba have sheepskins that you may not want to giveaway. Super soft and snuggly, but with serious style and functionality. Plus- have you seen the collaboration with Tiba and Marl?!
🎁 Claude & Co is full of meaning to add a little sprinkle extra special in your gifts. The Part of Something tees and their donation to Meningitis charity are amazing, but these new journals are stunning. Aimed at the years 0-5 years old, there is space for 5 christmases of jottings. 🎄

🎁 Pop & Punch has the magic sorted with their whimsical Fabelab doll range that all kids would love to tuck in at night with.
🎁 Cuddledry have bathtime down to a tee- so much so that they’ve had over 70 awards for making the end of the day a little calmer, warmer and less stressful!

How to shop small for parents this Christmas
Yes, they already have the main things, that’s why we’ve put some extra thought into these...
🎁 As a parent, play can be daunting at times. The wonderful Claire Play HOORAY! gently shows us it doesn’t need to be hard. With her carefully created, purposeful but easy to set up PlayPROMPTS you could give the gift of play to a parent this Christmas
🎁 is there anything better than soft, organic sleepwear? Yes there is- family matching, soft, organic sleepwear- and Didi and Bud has the most gorgeous range loved by us all.
🎁 Totter and Tumble playmats are equally for the children as it is for parents, who love the wipedown and easy care function. And they LOVE that their house is still their home so when the kids are in bed, parents can enjoy their mulled wine and their family space.
🎁 Love travelling and camping in your family but hate the achey backs and slippy bed sheets, or maybe one parent is reluctant? The gift of Bundle Beds will solve your problems with their roll out fully formed beds (even double beds!) 🙌 🎄
