Let the festive season begin! Our 2022 Tide Gift Guide is live

Santa Claus is coming to town 🎅 – which means you should start shopping! It’s the perfect time to get into the festive spirit by browsing for the ideal gifts for your loved ones to show your appreciation to them. 

With the lingering impact of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis, this time of year is considered a lifeline for some small business owners, who’ll be banking on the festive period for a much-needed boost.

As part of our mission to help those who work for themselves and, back by popular demand, we’re thrilled to bring you the Tide Gift Guide – 2022 edition.

How the Tide Gift Guide works

This December, we’ll feature a wide range of eco-friendly handcrafted and artisanal gift ideas made with love by our very own Tide members from across the UK. 

As the holiday countdown begins, and from day 1, you’ll be able to browse through 12 items that we’ve specially selected – they’re bound to put a smile on everyone’s face (and even yours). And for an extra jingle, some of them come with special Gift Guide discount codes too!

So no matter your budget or location – and whether you have a long list of loved ones to shop for or want to treat yourself – make it a priority to shop local and support small businesses from within the Tide community too.

A sneak peek at this year’s Tide Gift Guide 🎁

Just like last year, we suited up in our handmade Santa suit to kick off the joyful festivities.

First up, we searched the country to find one-of-a-kind holiday gifts. We spread the word all over social media, and our members delivered in style! They shared gorgeous and practical products that’ll make your holiday shopping easier – and help protect the environment, too. 

Next, we carefully handpicked the perfect presents and placed them behind our calendar doors.

Fancy a glimpse? This year’s Tide Gift Guide will have something for everyone!

🧖 Treat a loved one, or yourself, to the best night’s sleep and ultimate beauty with a hand-packaged luxury silk sleep set from The Silk Collection. It includes a 100% pure silk pillowcase and a 100% pure silk eye mask, for a relaxing night’s sleep while maintaining healthy skin and hair for the months to follow.

🥩 The perfect gift for the home chef who loves experimenting with new BBQ flavours. The VIP BBQ gift box from Buzzrock contains the perfect BBQ flavours that’ll add some festive Caribbean sizzle to their feasts, with marinades for all the family, from the most sensitive taste buds to the strongest.

🖍️ Tick off the little one’s list to Santa with the vibrantly colourful wax crayons from The Natural Crayon Company. They’re vegan-friendly and handmade with natural waxes and food-grade pigments, making them perfectly safe for their precious little hands. This could be a fun gift for their classmates too!

🌄 If you have an outdoorsy friend who likes to keep their water ice cold or coffee piping hot, add a Moon Bottle to their bag. Leakproof and built to last, this eco bottle is covered by a lifetime guarantee, so they may never need to buy another one! Plus, you can personalise it as you please (thoughtful gift idea right here!).

🐕 Even your furry friends can have a delicious holiday treat! Opie’s Christmas Treat Jars are filled with 100% natural, air-dried liver snaps, perfect to keep your dog jolly all year around. It also makes a great gift for all of your dog owner friends.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it could. And you have a lot more to discover!

Before we wrap things up, we want to take this chance to send our warm wishes from everyone in the Tide team to you, our Tide community, and entrepreneurs everywhere.

Even though a new year is upon us, our mission remains the same: to stand by those who work for themselves and shed light on their remarkable efforts during 2022 and beyond.
