A celebration of Cardiff indies (and a few outside the radius) this Christmas add some of the best indies the capital has to offer onto your gift list for that smug feeling of getting an amazing present that is also supporting makers and independent shops in the city.
I have picked my favourites from food, fashion, kids, lifestyle and events to do in Cardiff. No ads, no affiliates just gifts that I rate, and I think you will too.
Save, share and spread the word about these amazing Cardiff independent businesses. Happy Christmas shopping
