HELLO!<br />
Well. What a year it’s been. Who’d have thought<br />
that this time last year, we’d have had TWO<br />
national lockdowns, <strong>Do</strong> <strong>It</strong> <strong>Like</strong> A <strong>Mother</strong> would<br />
be under new ownership and life would be so<br />
different?<br />
We’ve collated a collection of beautiful products<br />
and wonderful services from some of the best<br />
businesses in the Southend area, because one<br />
thing you can do when you’re not allowed to leave<br />
the house in the Christmas shopping period is to<br />
head online and buy something wonderful from a<br />
small business online!<br />
From adults clothing to kids clothing, pampering<br />
experiences to life experiences, we’ve got it all in<br />
this gift guide. Enjoy shopping local!<br />
