Looking for more than macarons?
We are confident that there is plenty of room in stockings for macarons AND gifts from other independent and like minded businesses.
That's why we have put together a few suggestions on who to shop with this Christmas.
For the Literary Mademoiselle
Libraries and Archives
If you're going to buy stationery then buy it from the experts at Libraries and Archives. The Mademoiselle team are fuelled by to do lists and we have been lucky enough to get our hands on their premium to do list pads but for Christmas we love their handprinted wrapping paper. Absolutely divine!
Pencil Me In
Favourite pens and pencils go missing in the office more often than not but Pencil Me In gives us the opportunity to have all sorts printed on pencils that we vow never to lose again. We just can't guarantee what is written with them makes any sense!
Buy our special French phrase pencils made by Pencil Me In or visit Sarah and her team at their shop in Elgin.
For the Fashionable Mademoiselle
The Tartan Blanket Company
Wrap up with luxury woollens this Christmas from the BCorp accredited, fellow female-led and Edinburgh based company, The Tartan Blanket Company.
Whether it's stockings to hang up by the fire or a delicious new set of pyjamas for Christmas Eve, you'll find some seriously luxurious fashion and homeware gifts on their site!
The Fernery
Once you've sewn Cinders her dress for the ball turn your attention to the gorgeous Figgy Pudding sewing kit by Lisa at The Fernery.
You might have seen our special macaron keyring made especially for our customers.
Nutmeg & Arlo
And who doesn't love an accessory?! We were lucky enough to work with the wonderful Lyndsay at Nutmeg and Arlo to create our very own macaron pin as part of our Subscription boxes. These are also available exclusively to buy on our site along with your macarons. We think all of the enamel pins at Nutmeg and Arlo are the perfect stocking filler!
For the Foodie Mademoiselle
Ohelo Sustainble Water Bottles
For those looking for the perfect sustainable gift this year, Ohelo offers the perfect choice with award winning insulated water bottles and travel cups. They are the UKs only lead free insulated bottle brand (can you believe almost all flasks globally still contain toxic lead?). All bottles and travel cups are 100% leakproof and dishwasher safe.
And what's even better is that Ohelo is part of the Buy Women Built community
Shibui Tea Christmas Tea Selection
If you've been part of our monthly macaron club then you might have had the chance to taste these delicious loose leaf teas which have won multiple awards. We love Shibui Tea who are only down the road from us in Edinburgh and we particularly love their Christmas selection.
