Throughout lockdown there has been a spike of small businesses popping up all over the place; Facebook, Instagram and Etsy are all flooded with brand new boutiques, bakeries and beauty brands. So, now that people have more time at home, why not focus on your hobbies and make a career out of it?

Shopping small is more rewarding than ever, and you know that your order is truly appreciated (however big or small). As a community, we are becoming increasingly more cautious of fast fashion brands and focusing more on how we can support small businesses with good ethos’. Individuals who put their passions to practice and care about their customers are becoming more popular as we continue to educate ourselves on the damage big companies can have on the environment.

Here at Rock.Paper.Scissors, we have compiled a list of our favourites! Check them out here:
