Crimbo is fast approaching and with the shops shut let's swerve the big boys where possible this year and support people who will really appreciate your ££. This is a thread of shops/products/things etc I think some of you might like. Please RT/reply with your own recommendations
I'll start today with Britpop/music, since I think that's how most of you followed me in the first place.....
Musicians have had it tough this year, their whole industry has vanished. Check if your favourite artists have merch for sale directly.......

We also have the last remaining Star Shaped @StarShapedClub merch up on etsy (I didn't even get my hands on some of it!! I might buy a tote) if you're missing us https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/StarShapedClubShop?ref=usf_2020
As well as official merch, there are plenty of indie creators/sellers offering Britpop goodies which would make fun gifts. I'll take this opportunity to shamelessly plug my own.... https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FanCandlesUK?section_id=29337240
Massive Arms @massivearms will draw you or anyone of your choice in your favourite album. He did me in His n Hers and it's the best thing in the world https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/797642648/personalised-album-covers-12inch-30x30cm?ref=shop_home_active_5
Matt Glasby's @mattglasby Britpop Cinema book is also on my Christmas list this year. I've heard glowing reccos for it https://www.intellectbooks.com/britpop-cinema
@BritsPieces has collated a selection of Britpop related gifts including tea towels, stationery and games https://britsandpieces.bigcartel.com/
Cool handpainted and vintage garms from @ENGlorious https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/819158974/sale-modern-life-is-rubbish-hand-painted?ref=related-1&frs=1
Arty Burgers @ArtyBurgers have brilliant prints and mugs. This one is my fave, natch https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/892595200/pulp-fiction-inspired-music-art-print?ref=shop_home_active_23&frs=1
Shellufocatcher on Etsy is one of my favourite recent finds. She has so many nostalgic goodies, including this collection of bad ass 90s babes on a badge https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/820138597/90s-babes-music-badges-nostalgic-buttons?ref=shop_home_active_48&crt=1
Shout out your reccos, tag and share and lets spend our money as wisely as we can this year. Please understand, I am not shaming or judging where anyone wants or needs to shop but it's been a funny old time - lets try and support each other and not the big lads where we can x
