FAIRE holiday gift guides
So in the spirit of shining a big bright spotlight on creatives, artists, craftspeople and small indie businesses we have asked our FAIRE family and friends to help us share this years series of holiday gift guides.
In the last few months we’ve witnessed so many beautiful small businesses close their doors - soaring energy costs, supply chains crumpling, natural disasters, war and looming recession - all this after COVID-19 - it’s tough keeping the lights on and spirits up.
So this winter we celebrate the small businesses and the shopkeepers who bring joy to our villages and towns with their imagination, their bloody hard work, their perseverance and their support of the whole creative chain. We also want to shout out to all of you who create work that makes our homes and daily lives that bit more beautiful!
Our first gift guide is a fab list of goodies by Sarah Andrews, author of Principles of Style (2021), the mastermind behind the beloved workshop ‘The Hosting Masterclass’ @thehostingmasterclass
Every day we will be sharing a very special gift wish list and we will update this post below with links.
We hope you enjoy these gift guides as much as we loved pulling them together!
