Over half of the British public are cutting back on the number of presents they are buying for friends and family this Christmas, according to new research.
The poll also reveals many of us will entertain and go out less. But with just three shopping days left before Christmas, business leaders are urging the public to buy local and support small businesses.

Happy Family Business Day! If you ask the Littlest Rumsey’s what they want to do when they grow up they’ll tell you footballer like Harry Kane, pop star like Taylor Swift or work at Rumsey’s like Mum. #GBFamilyBizDay
Tomorrow isn’t just Valentine’s Day. It is also the 20th anniversary of our Wendover chocolaterie opening. We’re open 9am-5pm so please come and help us celebrate two decades of chocolate. #FamilyBusiness#Wendover#Buckinghamshire#shoplocal
@deathtospinach@JackieH08827298@SUAWaterstones We absolutely do delicious vegan chocolates, hot chocolates and more but sadly close at 5pm. You can do a click & collect from our online shop if you’d like and we’ll happily drop it over though (just mention in the order notes!).
December was a VERY busy month for SALSA Approvals. Over 100 members received their SALSA Certification, a great start to 2024! A special Congratulations to our new members who received their first certificate: @NorthUistDistil@rumseysChoc@WhitstableRocks@Dorking_Brewery
Thank you for all your orders. The team and I have been working our socks off to keep up. We are in good shape heading into this last week before Christmas. If you wish to make a postal order, cut offs for confident pre-Christmas delivery are looming. https://t.co/RyaqM5EkBo
