Every Christmas, around 4,000 tonnes of products arrive in the UK by container from China.
BUY LOCAL
Buying local means you will reduce the carbon footprint associated to the transportation of the product but also support small suppliers and makers from the UK
If you don't have many local stores in your area, you can go on Esty and Not on the High Street and select suppliers only located in the UK.
