Stay at Home, Shop Local
Online Christmas Shopping With a Local Flavour
Let’s be honest, we all need the festive session this year to be a good one, but when it comes to shopping; you might be hesitant to hit the high street. Rather than heading to the default (gigantic) online retailers why not check out some of the makers and creators that we love. Small businesses have been hit hard in 2020 so shopping local from the safety of your own home goes a long way to keeping them afloat.
While this list is far from absolute, we hope that you can find something for every interest and inspires you to seek out more.
Raise a Glass
If you’ve been paying attention to this year you’d probably agree that we all deserve a little tipple. Regardless of your chosen poison here are a few excellent local picks to get your (grown-up) loved ones buzzing through December.
New Threads
Year of the Stretchy Trouser. Now we’re certainly not commenting on anyone's personal hygiene or dress sense but 2020 has been the year of dressing for comfort. For the New Year, why not treat your fashionista friends to some new clobber. Let’s hope that 2021 means less dressing like it’s laundry day.

Get Comfy at Home
Having spent a significant time indoors this year, there isn’t a home untouched by deep cleans, feng shui or DIY. For the person that organised and re-organised throughout 2020; here are some local companies to put the finishing touches on any interior.
Give ‘em Some Beans
There’s nothing quite like a good cup of Joe. A nice bag of beans for boxing day morning or subscriptions to keep the caffeine fiends happy for months; here are some great roasters and coffee accompaniments a mere stones throw from Yonder.
Woodstreet Coffee
Self Care is Real Care

Stocking Fillers and for the Sweettoothed
There’s always room for something sweet, no matter how full of Christmas dinner you may be. Here are a few choices for just desert or the festive chocolate binge.
… And, of course, Yonder Merch
Our webshop is still under construction but keep an eye out so that you can pick-up some of the great new merch in time for Christmas.

Final Thoughts
One of the best things about being based in E17 is that there is no shortage of amazing makers, creators and passionate people sharing what they love. Of course there are many, many more local joints where you can pick up the perfect gift for your loved ones but the hope is this can be a starting point for some (local) digital exploration.
Happy Shopping
