Welcome to the first instalment of The List, personal curations of things I think you will find useful or interesting.
This article is an exclusive peek into my little black book of businesses and brands that I love and that are doing good in the world.
I conduct hours of research before buying even the smallest thing and I’ve done this for years. All this research will be distilled down into The List of brands I endorse spending your money with.
Once I become a customer, I’m usually one for life - I’ve done the trawling and checking so you don’t have to.
To ensure the integrity of The List, these posts are exclusively for members of the A Day Well Spent community.
This ensures no brands can pay their way onto The List. Plus I attach high value to these collections and the hours of groundwork I’ve undergone to compile them (I hope you do too).
In case you missed it, I wrote a piece about the reasons I really, really don’t like shopping. I go into the stuff that make up our things, the gradual cleaning up of my consumption and why it takes a lot for me to part with my money.
Which explains why I’ve created The List, why I think it’s a really important curation and why I think you will love it.
I also contact these businesses (post publication) to see if they’d like to be involved in exclusive A Day Well Spent giveaways. I am certain many will be thrilled to have been featured and would love to take part.
As always, please accept my deepest gratitude for all your support, engagement and wonderful insights.
Here are five of some of my favourite brands and businesses that sell great things whilst having a positive impact on the world.
I really hope you enjoy this collection.
