    Fleur, you are probably the only TH-camr I’ve started watching so many years ago that I haven’t unsubscribed. You are simple, thoughtful, classy, and I personally feel you are not here to sell me/us nothing compared to the others. You are highly appreciated x

      My thoughts exactly! And same here, only 1 who I still watch since 2012. ❤

      Yup. Couldn’t agree more. Fleur is my only remaining youtuber from years ago.

    Aw Fleur can I just say I love that you’ve done this?! I think it’s so great that you’ve shone a light on independent businesses who must be having such a hard time right now and so many people will be turning to places like Amazon out of habit but I love that you’ve reminded everyone of the unique gems you can find in small businesses. All these pieces look so great 💕

    My mum said that the dried flowers would be perfect to put in the centre of the fireplace that you don't know what to do with. :)

    @RachaelP207 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for doing this! My sister started her own Etsy page this year (Mae’s Handmade Shop) selling handmade crocheted kids hats, wool dryer balls, leather earrings, and scarves. I appreciate when anyone promotes small businesses! ❤️

    Absolutely loved this film Fleur, especially your picks for Children. Now that I’m a new mum, I find myself coming back, again and again, to refer to your videos as they’re always so helpful and genuine. Snapped up the initial print (in pastel and gold foil) for my niece’s Birthday coming up and couldn't resist her wrapping paper and card too - what brilliant find! THANK YOU x

    PS A similar-ish suggestion for the advent candle is one by Advent of Change, which helps support 24 different charities with each purchase (they also offer charity advent calendars and there is a kids’ charity option) adventofchange.com/collections/shop

    Please know that it is a huge risk for small businesses to offer discounts/sales. Please don’t only support them during sales but also paying full price afterwards too!

    • @anyawillowfan
      @anyawillowfan 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Absolutely true. Most small businesses rely on repeat customers and word of mouth. I will often buy from somewhere if they have a discount code though, as that way I can see what the quality is - and if I love it I will rave about it and remember it for next time (which is why you should follow businesses on Insta that you can't financially support right now, so that you don't forget them and help them get exposure).

    • @juditnikolett
      @juditnikolett 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your comment! As a small business owner myself I can say that most of the time the discount takes away our profit.
