Could you commit to spending £5 in a local, independent shop instead of a chain this week?
Doesn’t have to be my treatment room, there are lots of fabulous independent businesses in Low Fell, but think of the impact that could have.
Spend £5 with me (I know you can’t get a treatment for a fiver but I’ll come back to what you CAN get) and then I go and spend £5 in another local independent shop.
ojcoffeeanddeli for a lush coffee
stairwayzcafelowfell for a freshly baked scone
dottyhouse for a funny greetings card
These are just examples, there are many, many more independent businesses on Low Fell - do you use them?
They use that £5 to pay their staff who in turn go and spend it in another local, independent business. Or it keeps the lights on. Or they use it to pay their suppliers. You get the picture.
Anyway, back to what you can get with me for a fiver (or less)
I have some heated eye masks in various fragrances, including Elf Eyes for kids (think Christmas Eve boxes) for £4 each.
Or I have some handmade bath salts in various fragrances for £3 (for a 75g pouch) or only £8 for a 150g jar.
Hopefully you’ll think of my small business when you’re looking for small, reasonably priced Christmas gifts 🎁
