By choosing to shop local this season, customers can directly contribute to the success of independent retailers who bring craftsmanship and character to Edinburgh’s retail scene.
Laura Bond, Founder and Creative Director at Laura Bond Jewellery said: “This Christmas, I’m encouraging people to embrace the spirit of community by choosing to shop local for those last-minute stocking fillers, rather than turning to large online retailers. After all, local businesses are at the heart of our communities, adding unique character, creating jobs, and supporting a thriving local economy.
Even buying just a couple of gifts from independent businesses can make a real difference. Now, more than ever, it’s vital to shop small.
At Laura Bond, we pride ourselves on offering a personalised experience for every customer, ensuring that each visit feels special. As we approach the busy festive period, it’s crucial for us and other small businesses to feel that support.
I’m looking forward to personally thanking everyone this December – our Christmas shopping day will be the perfect start to the holiday season.”
With so much to enjoy, Laura Bond’s December offerings bring the holiday spirit right to the heart of Edinburgh. From sparkling piercings to thoughtful gifts, that make a standout destination for holiday shoppers.
