Your Christmas shopping sorted with these 30 amazing independent, online retailers

A few weeks ago I wrote that getting all your present buying done in November helps greatly when it comes to having a fairly chilled out December. The beauty of the world today is that you don't even have to go to a major shopping centre anymore to do all that present buying. You can actually do most, if not all, of it online. (I did ALL my Christmas shopping online a few years ago and I can tell you, it was the greatest thing ever.)

Now, I don't have anything against major shopping centres or the chain retailers they tend to contain. They provide jobs for many people and jobs are always a good thing. I do, however, find I can buy gifts that are a little more unique from smaller, independent retailers. And in doing so, I get to help a small business owner too.

So today, with the assistance of those who follow me on Facebook, I've assembled a list of lovely independent retailers who have online shops. If this list helps you get all your Christmas shopping done in November AND helps out a small business owner along the way ... all to the good!
