Gift Jewellery and Shopping Small this Christmas

As most of you will already know, I am a one woman show, Victoria Fergusson Accessories is me, Victoria. So when you place an order for my accessories, you are 'shopping small' 'shopping independent' and sometimes 'shopping local' and I can tell you this, it means the world to me. It supports my passion, my dream, my income - the happy dance is REAL!

So, the 'shop small' ethos is not new to me and applies to so many of us who work within the wedding sector. This year with the wedding industry so very disrupted and interupted, it's taken on a whole new level of importance as we pivot and diversify our offerings where possible, in the hope of keeping the wheels turning while weddings navigate their way back on the map.... A couple of years ago I started Gift, a collection of easygoing, wearable eveyday jewellery. I wanted to offer something afordable and ready to wear to sit alongside my more intricate made to order collections. As the name would suggest it is highly giftable! So I'm going to shout about it now and fly the flag for #shopsmallthischristmas #shopearly #shopindependent #shoplocal

Ther are some amazing ambasadors for us small businesses out there; Holly Tucker is shouting from the roof tops and running #CampaignShopIndependent for the fourth year. Plus there's the Just a Card campaign. Both highlight the value of shopping small and offer wonderful resources for independents too.

So please excuse me while I interrupt all things wedding for a moment to bring you Christmas shopping ideas!

More than ever we are supporting one and other, joining forces and flying the flag for small, independent businesses. Here are some of my favourites:

Fox & Willow - Divine hand poured sustainable soy scented candles.

Martha & the Meadow - The most beautiful Christmas wreaths and floral courses.

Linen & Lace at Home - Gorgeous home wear gifts.

Soul Destiny - Home wears, yoga & fitness and those British made alpaca socks currently made famous by I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here!

Pod & Pip - Floristry studio offering courses also packed with gifts; house plants, books, vases, candles and more.

Alix Fauvel - The Cakesmith, Mouth-wateringly good cakes, biscuits and mini Christmas hampers.

Montes & Clark - Colourful and unusual home wears, crafts and textiles from around the world.

Tom’s Studio - Exquisite hand made pens


Lastly, iId like to say a MASSIVE thank you to my lovely loyal band of shoppers who continue to support me with purchases of jewellery and this year, the face mask!!
