Shop local with the Push Team

This year has been difficult for countless retailers. With the Christmas season fast approaching, the Push Team have put together a list of small, local, independent shops nears their homes where they’ve been browsing for festive gifts …

Nadine Attar (Head of Beauty, Fitness & Wellbeing) – The Cotswold

“My fave discovery is Cutter Brooks for the most wonderful curated collection of homewares. The store is pretty local to our cottage and I’ve long admired the style of Amanda Brooks, the owner. I’ve asked Santa to bring me a set of these divine glasses”

Astrid Mallet (Brand Manager) – Hampstead

“I am lucky enough to live near one of my favourite client’s store, Dinny Hall. During lockdown, I spent a lot more time walking around the area and every time I passed by the store, I found myself browsing through their website adding an (admittedly) long list of pieces on my Christmas wish list”

Danielle Kerwick (Jewellery Team) – Kingston Upon Thames

“Covid has hit the performing arts and live music hard – so I’ve picked my local record store Banquet Records. I grew up going to their gigs every week seeing all my favourite artists in tiny clubs that were right on my doorstep, so this will always be my go-to record shop”

Carolyn Owlett (Associate Media Director) – Dalston

“DiscoBarre Studios is definitely on my list of places to visit in Dalston. Sophie Ritchie, the founder, has gone out of her way to make her studio Covid-safe and it’s a super friendly environment. Discobarre is their signature class and is called the Grace Jones of Barre classes – full attitude set to underground house and 80’s disco. LotteBerk is the original barre method and Sophie is the leading instructor in the UK for the technique. She was taught by the lotte berks own daughter. It’s amazing for body conditioning.”

Nicole Verdugo (Senior Account Manager) – Fulham

“Located in Fulham, Quirky Gadgets is a gift shop that has the most wanted items and gadgets for children and adults alike. The owner Omar is super friendly, passionate and knowledgeable and is always on hand to advise on the most suitable items whether it be for Christmas, birthdays, Halloween, etc. On top of that, Omar also repairs gadgets which you can bring in store. A truly unique and joyous experience! I’ve been eyeing two lights for my Christmas wishlist”
