Cool Gift Guide - Best Presents for Disabled People
This year we have been selected as one of Small Business Saturday's top 100 Small Businesses aka the Small Biz 100. It's been the most phenomenal movement to be part of. The campaign's sole aim is to encourage everyone to shop from small businesses and raise awareness of all the incredible small businesses currently thriving in the UK.
We have been overwhelmed with the support and wanted to help raise even more awareness of other businesses, like ours, which are either founded by or created for, people with disabilities. To not only help them but to help you find your dream, practical, comfortable and stylish presents this Christmas!
