These are some of my favourite finds (at time of writing each blog). These companies have not requested these links, nor are they paying me. I have done it because I want to you be able to enjoy these things too. In addition, some of these are tiny, boutique startups. So if you are enjoying their products, then the business will be more likely to survive, which means I will be able to continue enjoying them!  It’s a win-win
