For the first time in the show's history, I Do Handmade will host its very own Christmas Village where shoppers can discover up to 20 different handmade brands each day offering a lovingly curated collection of handmade gifts and accessories all made and sold by small businesses.
The I Do Handmade Christmas Village has been carefully curated to ensure there’s something for everyone. From luxurious hand-poured candles, to thoughtful stationery to stunning jewellery and more, all handcrafted by talented British businesses.
This village concept has been created by I Do Handmade founder, Becky who says: “We know how tough it can be for small business owners to access selling opportunities at iconic shows like this one. The I Do Handmade Christmas Village has been designed to help increase the variety of gifting options out there for visitors, that are all made by talented individuals".
“We also want to help make this show more accessible for makers, artists and crafters to test retailing there for one day, to gain knowledge on whether to book their own kiosk next year.”
About 'I Do Handmade'
I Do Handmade supports the growth of product-selling businesses helping them grow faster and sell more. They do this through their business boosting app, The Hub, which equips small independents with free opportunities to retail in UK-wide locations and collates hundreds of opportunities into one place. Run by mother, daughter duo Becky and Wendy, the pair also host pop-up markets inside impressive high-footfall locations across the UK, helping businesses get their products in front of new audiences. Together they are on a mission to not only transform the way we shop, but to showcase a nation of talented creatives, makers and artists helping them get the attention they deserve.
