The best Edinburgh clothes shops aren’t the River Islands or the H&Ms of Princes St. Edinburgh’s smaller fashion boutiques are infinitely more fun to browse and are owned, operated and curated by locals with an eye for style. Edinburgh’s best local clothes shops are treen, Biscuit, Frontiers and Walker Slater.
I live in Edinburgh and I love shopping local, so an Edinburgh Gift Guide is a must! Give me farmers markets, Instagram sellers galore! I want to know the names of the people I buy from, I want to know exactly who I’m supporting when I buy. Sometimes, it’s just not feasible. But at Christmas, there are so many local crafters makers and creators, that you’re sure to find a gift for everyone! Shopping local is already shopping sustainable. It just so happens that makers tend to create long lasting, lifetime pieces. I’ve discussed my favourite Scotland brands in my Scottish Gift Guide, but this week we’re coming closer to home. For those of you living in Edinburgh, for those of you visiting the Christmas market, these are the places you can go to find gifts for everyone you love. Without further ado, I present the ultimate Edinburgh Gift Guide.
PSA – this is not a sponsored gift guide, I just really love gift giving and shopping local. Seriously
