ISLE OF WIGHT CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE
At Balance + Glo we know the importance of having amazing supporters who love what we do. That’s why, not only are we going to help make your Christmas shopping simpler, we’re supporting other small businesses we love to.
We have put together this list of Christmas gifts for inspiration for your loved ones (or ideas if anyone asks you 😉). The ideas are all from small businesses, here on the Isle of Wight. We love shopping local and hopefully you’ll discover some new local brands you’ll love too!
