Christmas Gift Ideas from independent local business women!
Through-out my years of running my own business I have met so many wonderful independent business women, who create amazing inspirational gifts. I thought I might share a few of them with you in case you’re still on the hunt for inspiring gifts this Christmas.
Mama Graze Platter Boxes
I came across this new business run my mother and daughter team from Harrogate at a 'Yorkinstameet' Networking Event recently and I couldn't keep my hands of it! Dates dipped in chocolate, truffles, figs, gourmet breads and cheeses, it was fabulous! Their Christmas box definitely has the WOW factor.
A Little Pick-Me-Up (Debut Book by Katie Portman)
I met Katie early on in my Masque Photography journey as we had so much in common and a shared passion for empowering women. She left a stable job to write her own a blog ‘Pouting-In-Heels‘ roughly the same time I did and we have had many a photo-shoot and night-out since.

Through her own personal stories she encourages women to believe in their power and fulfil their potential. Its a book the lifts and enlighten you in equal measure and I am so proud she has achieved her lifelong dream of becoming a published writer!
Sensual Candles by Lucy May Lingerie
I wish you could smell these candles through your screen (maybe one day hey) They are made from 100% soy wax, which is biodegradable and vegan friendly. The cotton wicks are ring spun, unbleached and have been made to burn evenly for approx 40+ hours. A winner for anyone at Christmas!

Trufflesque Masque by Temple Spa
One of our clients Michele Akers applied Temple Spa’s ultra hydration and radiance masque to her face on route to her photo-session with us and our make-up artist adored how it had transformed her skin.
It is clinically proven to significantly increase hydration, wakes up tired skin, gives instant radiance and luminosity, firms and plumps the skin and helps to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles! I wouldn’t mind some’t mind some myself today!
O-So-Eco Travel Cup and Lunch Box
'O-So-Eco' is a brand which focuses on reducing plastic in the home.
The Huski Travel Cup and Lunch box are made from recycled biodegradable rice husks. They are eco-friendly and sustainable. Keep your drinks warmer for longer without burning your hands with this twin-walled, non-toxic cup. They are BPA and silicone free. My husband approves! These products make great gifts for the practical amongst us.
