As well as buying the few presents that I do need from tiny indepedent traders and artists that we know, I also bought my Christmas cards (since family receive a non-corporate card as well as an official one) from fellow paper artist Su Blackwell (sublackwell.co.uk), and paper to wrap things in from Wrap, a tiny British company not unlike ourselves printing the festive designs of artists whose work they like. All the designs are printed on recycled paper using soya inks in the UK:

I couldn't ask for anything more, really!
