Lots of independent retailers are selling their goods online and sending them to customers in the post through these uncertain times – and they need your support now more than ever before.
If you are buying gifts or cards, goods can be bought online from independent sellers and then sent direct to the recipient, so you can send a loved one a much-needed gift to pick them up in these times of uncertainty, support a local maker and help them keep running their business and also stay safe yourself.

These are just some of the great sellers who are continuing to make their goods at home and send them to customers via post. There are hundreds of sellers making their products from their Sheffield homes right now – you can find them by searching for a product you wish to buy and then type ‘Sheffield’ under the shop location field. Although we cannot see our loved ones, we can let them know we are thinking of them by sending them a thoughtful gift – and we can still help our local businesses by choosing a present from them.
