Where to Shop Locally for Christmas
North Wales is a truly special place to shop for Christmas. This part of Cymru is home to a wealth of unique, locally made products, all of which are proudly stocked by independent shops across the region.
Choosing to shop independently means directly supporting the local community, with all of the businesses listed below championing locally crafted and organic produce.
Shopping local doesn’t have to mean spending more, either. Hampers can be tailored to suit any budget, and there’s no shortage of great options for thoughtful stocking fillers.
And don’t forget the fantastic range of food and craft fairs taking place this year — Make sure to give North Wales Grub a follow on social media to stay up to date.
