The past few years have been incredibly tough for small businesses as the world shifts economically and globally in ways that often feel beyond our control.
Small, local businesses are constantly competing with next-day delivery giants and TikTok influencers promoting fast trends and low-quality products.
It’s a race stacked against authenticity and wellness, and it’s impacting not just local economies, but our collective well-being.
Many influencers and large companies sell products focused on covering flaws or hiding insecurities rather than fostering true health and self-care.
These products are often packed with toxic, carcinogenic chemicals that undermine wellness. Is it any wonder we’re seeing rising levels of mental health issues and physical illnesses, especially in young people?
Wellness isn’t just a trend, it’s a necessity for a balanced, healthy life.
This year, instead of contributing to corporations that prioritise profits over people, why not choose to support your local community? Shopping local isn’t just about the transaction, it’s an investment in people, connection, and true well-being. Gift wellness this season.
Small businesses like mine offer services that go beyond the material: we offer massage sessions that help children connect with their breath and body, we have gift vouchers starting at just £10, and experiences that promote real, lasting care.
Supporting small businesses strengthens your local high street, nurtures your loved ones, and encourages a culture of wellness. Let’s make gifting meaningful this year, choose local, choose wellness, and choose kindness and maybe even choose Soulstar
