Welcome to the Digital Narrative ‘Buy Small’ Christmas Gift Guide for 2020!
This is our first gift guide exclusively showcasing products made by small, locally run businesses. We’ve selected our favourite products from businesses we work with currently or in the past, or who we’ve collaborated or cross-promoted with throughout different campaigns.
As an agency which specialises in (and deals exclusively with) small businesses on various digital channels, we have an intimate knowledge of our clients’ product ranges. In fact, we spend all year coveting their incredible goodies as we add them to websites and create blogs, ads and social media posts about them. So, by November, we’ve mentally short-listed our favourite gift ideas for all the special people in our lives, and this year we’re excited to share them with you!
