Gift buying can be expensive, especially at Christmas. It can also be stressful if money is tight or you’re not sure if the recipient is going to like it – you don’t want to waste your precious money. However, gift buying can be more enjoyable if you are supporting local businesses at the same time. Buying gifts in Northants supports our home town, it’s local businesses and can provide a really interesting and loved gift.
I have researched some local businesses where you can buy gifts in Northants, not only at Christmas but all year round. Hopefully, here you can find a gift for just about anyone.

other ideas for gifts in Northants…
Stonyfield Wines
These guys are sellers of a rose and a white sparkling wine coming from Blisworth. They are not open to the public and sell on word of mouth so you know they are going to be good!
You can find out how to buy here.
Alcohol
If you follow me on Instagram you will know that Saxby’s Ciders is one of my all-time favourite drinks. You are able to get a couple of flavours from some Co-ops but their farm is located in Farndish so you can pop in there.
Check out their website here.
Beer Garage
Run by a local Mum, supplies craft beer, gin and cider. You can check out their website here.
Spa Day.
Spa days are often wished for but can be expensive. Check out Groupon for some local offers here.
Photography Package
A photography package can make a beautiful gift. I love following Glimpses Photography on Instagram and seeing all of Tiffanys amazing images. She also sells giftcards. You can check out her website here.
Children’s Books
Amy Proud is a local illustrator of a couple of gorgeous children’s books. You can buy signed copies from her website here.
