After the turbulent year we’ve all had, many people are trying to support smaller, local businesses through this tough and uncertain time.With that in mind, we decided to ask our colleagues here at Sowerbys for their recommendations of local businesses that offer great ideas for Christmas presents.
Here is a selection of small, local businesses who offer an online shop service, providing you with a safer way of getting your Christmas shopping done this year, whilst also doing your bit to support small businesses across Norfolk.
We hope this gives you some inspiration!
