The 2024 Gift Guide
Trying to concentrate a focus on what to buy is difficult, but if you are like us and want to support as many local businesses as possible, then here are some ideas to get you started. Quite of few of these are from Rosemains Steading and can be bought either directly on the businesses website, or it can be bought on Rosemains’ website.
The Reluctant Spy by David Goodman
A local author based in East Lothian, David’s first book has had some great reviews. This page turning spy thriller is a great buy.
Seilich’s Gardener’s Hand Set
We have a lot of beautiful gardens locally so I thought this might be helpful for those with green fingers. Seilich is based at Rosemains Steading and has won various awards and uses only natural products.
A Fleece from Gazelle Activewear
At this time of year good outwear is so important. This female owned local business has a some lovely colours for women and children. Check them out and perhaps get on for you and your mini me.
Non Alcoholic Beer from JumpShip
Scotland’s first non-alcoholic brewery is based on site here, and they have won some amazing awards this year. Our favourite is the Yardarm Lager, but they are also doing a great gift set so you can sample a few.
Common Coffee’s Instant Coffee
I’ve spoken about Common Coffee before, but this year they have launched their own instant speciality coffee. Each jar serves 20 coffees and its delicious. A great ‘on the go’ for those coffee connoisseurs.
An Ella Fletcher Mug
If your love your coffee in a mug then why not think about combining one of Ella Fletcher’s beautiful mugs with some Common Coffee. A great combination exclusively available through the Rosemains Steading website.
Second Cashmere
This lovely brand repairs and reuses cashmere. Their collection of second hand cashmere is gorgeous and they have a few of their own design in there too. The concept of renew luxury really appeals and they even have a repair service for some of your own cashmere.
Ellen Catherine Jewellery
Ellen has been a regular at our Rosemains markets and her pieces are beautiful, simple and elegant. You could buy some pretty earrings for someone or she does have a gift card option which allow the recipient to choose what they want when they are ready. Perfect!
