Are you the sort of person who likes to buy products that are made locally? Do you like to give local small businesses a chance over big corporate companies? Then you should take a look at MadeCloser. MadeCloser is a place where customers can buy any goods that are orginally manufactured locally; sorted by area – in order of local, regional, national or continental location. It then works as an online marketplace, where shoppers who care about local economies, sustainable commerce, and helping out locals, and can chose products from a wide-ranging cataogue of products – all of which are made closer!
All of the manufacturers and producers of all the products listed on MadeCloser have passion for what they make, so that you know everything is made because they enjoy making it, not because they have to! All of the products on MadeCloser are listed by genre, making it easy for you to sort through what you are looking for. You can also put in your postcode to find products that are made locally to you.

I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’d not come across MadeCloser before, but I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of products and choice available. Not only have I been admiring the beauty section, but there’s also a few iPhone cases I’ve had my eye on, as well as some hand knitted mug cosy’s and some gorgeous sounding candles!
I really love the range of wall stickers, especially this one. I think they’re great if you’re looking to add something extra to your home. I really love how everything has that handmade touch to it, rather than the same products you say in every high street shop. I’m certainly impressed with MadeCloser and will definitely keep them in mind next time I’m doing an online shop!
One thing I love about being a homeowner is that I can decorate however I like. If I feel like changing my whole bathroom, or want to put something up on the wall, I can do it. I’m quite glad I haven’t had much experience of renting, but from what experiences I’ve heard from my…
Recently I was contacted by the lovely people at Jison Case asking if I would like to review one of their iPad cases. I love my iPad and I’m constantly using it, so I’m always looking out for a new case, especially one that protects my iPad so I can take it around with me in my…
Hi Girlies! O my I’m sorry it’s been a whole 3 weeks without contact! – Moving back to uni and getting settled in took so much longer than I thought it would. So now I’m all settled into my new uni routine I thought I would try and get my blog/youtube back up and…
The other week it was my birthday, and I reached what I felt like was a big grown up age, 24. 24 is an age where I thought I would have had ‘my shit sorted out’ by. 24 sounds like an actual adult age. I still think of myself in my teenage years trying to sort…
Now that it’s only two weeks until Christmas it’s time to make sure you’ve got all of your presents in order. If you’ve seen my other gift guides (for her, foodie gifts, and for him), you might have a few ideas for Christmas gifts. If you haven’t bought yours already, I thought I’d include a few more…
I can’t believe we’re here, the beginning of July! Instead of doing my usual favourites post, I decided I’d do something a little different. I wanted to talk about a few things that I liked in June. Holiday Last week I went on my first holiday in over 4 years! I only went away for a week…
