As the Christmas countdown begins, the pressure to find the perfect gifts mounts, and shoppers across the UK are feeling the heat.
Fear not! Artisan markets are in full swing nationwide, offering a haven for last-minute gift seekers and a chance to support small businesses while finding truly unique treasures that your loved ones might actually love.
Unlike the crowded high streets and impersonal online giants, Christmas markets are an experience in themselves. Pedddle supports truly artisan experiences; markets filled with handmade goods, friendly local stallholders and maybe even a mulled wine or two – the perfect festive experience to grab more thoughtful, or even personalised, gifts. Many stallholders offer customisation or personalisation and many sell cards and gift wrap too, helping you create something truly memorable and meaning it’s a one-stop-shop.
Markets also mean you can forget about postal delays – there’s no need to track shipping when you can pay and walk away with gifts in hand!
Across the UK, markets are bustling with festive cheer, showcasing the best in handcrafted goods and local produce. Many markets run right up until Christmas Eve, giving even the most last-minute shoppers an opportunity to grab unique, high-quality gifts. And Pedddle is the perfect place to find them.
Did you know that small businesses employ 13 million people across the UK, making them essential to economic stability and growth? [Federation of Small Businesses]. And when you shop at a local market, 63p of every £1 spent locally stays in that local community, compared to just 40p with large retailers [statistic from Local Enterprise Partnerships].
Pedddle Founder Nicki Capewell summarised by stating, “The joy of shopping at artisan markets is the experience – it’s festive, fun, and full of creative surprises. But with markets running right up until Christmas, there’s still time to find extra-special gifts that people will actually treasure, whilst supporting small businesses that pour their hearts into what they create.”
