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