CONSUMPTION IS VANDALISM: BROTHER ANTI-XMAS GIFT GUIDE 

If you follow us on social media you may have noticed our #consumptionisvandalism campaign. This Christmas, we thought we’d make our feelings known about the big conglomerates and ask you to support your local businesses and shop small. We’ve all just been through a pandemic, and whilst you don’t need us to tell you how weird its been, it might be nice to know that Jeff Bezos saw his wealth grow by $48 million. Billionaires in total got $637 billion richer according to Business Insider. At the same time, small shops opened with good intentions and a much more sustainable selling are having to close after not getting the government support they need.

We say fuck that. This christmas, consider forgoing your super speedy (but actually still 3 days) prime delivery on something that might work and was made in China, and buy a gift from us. Not only do we have an eclectic range of books and music to suit the person in your life who’s already read everything (including a new shipment of Gestalten), we’ve also dropped a whole new collection of products by small, local and sustainable brands we know, love and believe in.


Here is the Brother Ultimate Anti-Christmas gift guide.

London Botanist Skincare

Over the last few years CBD has sprung up all over the place, which makes it hard to buy the right products, let alone quality. London Botanists are here to correct that.

All their products are natural, pure ingredients, ethically sourced and crafted with care, and now you can get them for christmas.
