Show 'shop indie' Jubilee colours

David Knight • May 18, 2022

Cherish our small businesses like we do our Queen - celebrate the Platinum Jubilee and #supportsmallbusiness at the same time with gift ideas befitting the occasion from UK indies and creatives.

Here’s just a sample of the 'shop indie' gift inspiration that was on show during our #JubileeGiftsDay on Twitter last weekend. 

Top row (from left)

  • Put Jubilee tea design bunting from Surrey’s SewMoreThanBags at the heart of your decorations
  • Set the scene with original vintage posters from the extensive collection of London’s Antik Bar
  • You’ve got the bunting, you’ve got the tea, now complete the set with a tea cosy from Edinburgh’s TheWiseOldOwlStore

Centre row (from left)

  • Mount a sense of community. . . this guache original painting from Cheshire’s The Littler Place celebrates rural communities
  • Bring all kinds of cute. . . like this mohair cat from London's ThreeWoollyOwlsStore featuring an added patriotic bow tie from Cumbria’s OKThenWhatsNextCraft
  • Make all the right calls with this limited edition Royal Jubilee retro telephone lamp from Yorkshire’s LadybirdLaneDecor

Bottom row (from left)

  • Give the royal wave with quirky regal hand earrings from Cornwall’s craftbythistle
  • Raise a glass (while knowing it’s yours!) with Jubilee crown wine glass charms from Suffolk’s Belles Charms Gift Shop
  • Get your party snacking down to a fine art with bowls from Devon’s Alison Miles Pottery – through her own exhaustive research, she estimates that they can each accommodate up to 13 Wotsits and 29 peanuts!
