This holiday season, we’re proud to join the movement that celebrates small businesses, creativity, and thoughtful giving—Colour Friday. Founded by Holly Tucker, entrepreneur and advocate for independent businesses, Colour Friday aims to shift the spotlight from the big, soulless Black Friday sales to the vibrant, meaningful world of small businesses. It’s about championing creativity, community, and unique gifts that bring joy not only to those who receive them but also to the artisans and creators behind them.
What is Colour Friday?
Colour Friday was born as an alternative to Black Friday, a day that often prioritises impulsive, mass consumption at the expense of small businesses. Holly Tucker, founder of Notonthehighstreet and Holly & Co, created this movement to inspire people to shop small and think about the story and passion behind the products they buy.
The statistics speak volumes—66% of people say they’d prefer to receive a gift from an independent retailer, and nearly a third (29%) want to “do better” by supporting small businesses during the festive season. Yet, big corporations still dominate, leaving small businesses to compete for attention. Colour Friday is a reminder to pause, reflect, and use your spending power to make a difference.
Our Exclusive Colour Friday Giveaway
To celebrate Colour Friday, we’re thrilled to announce our most colourful giveaway yet! Every order placed this weekend (Before Midnight on Sunday 1st December 2024) will automatically be entered into a draw to win:
- A stunning box of our vibrant macarons, handcrafted with love.
- An exclusive limited-edition poster designed by this year’s Colour Friday artist, Rebecca Strickson.
Rebecca’s artwork, inspired by trade union banners and protest placards, perfectly captures the spirit of community and collaboration that Colour Friday represents. Her bold and beautiful message, “Bring Joy, Shop Small,” is a call to action we can all stand behind this festive season.
