There’s something special about shopping small – knowing your purchase supports a real person’s dream is a great thing. I’ve gathered a few of my recent small business shout outs (mostly from my readers), each one offering clever, stylish, or beautifully made pieces that deserve a spot in your world. These have all featured in the extra content for paid subscribers, but I want to make sure you all get to see them!
🕯️ Great House Farm Stores
Great House Farm Stores – a beautiful, family-run Welsh business making hand-poured, natural candles right from their dairy farm in Monmouthshire. Each candle is made with 100% soy wax, infused with premium fragrance oils and created so you can purchase refills to ensure sustainability.
It’s the kind of thoughtful treat that makes your home feel calm (even when the kids are feral).

♀️ Jolene Nipple Covers
Meet Jolene, a London-based, women-founded brand making premium reusable nipple covers that give you confidence under any outfit. Soft, sweat-resistant, and designed in inclusive shades, they’re discreet enough to vanish under tees and dresses while staying put all day. Embrace leaving your bra behind!
I love that this thoughtful little brand also gives back — 10% of profits go to breast cancer charities. A true feel-good buy from a small business with a big heart.
🕯️ SevenSeventeen
SevenSeventeen – home to beautifully crafted candles and thoughtful gifts. They focus on mood boosting elements and even have candles called ‘balance’ and ‘you got this’ – they have totally read my mind!
