[Tuesday 3rd of December, Edinburgh, Scotland] For one day only, on Saturday 7th December, Laura Bond and Thistle Street’s independent businesses will unite to offer exclusive holiday deals, encouraging shoppers to celebrate the season while supporting Edinburgh’s thriving local business community.

Joining Laura Bond in this festive collaboration is a vibrant mix of Thistle Street retailers, including SMI, Stoodio, Cobbled Roastery, Black Moon Botanica, ALC, Racket and Webber, each showcasing their own exclusive Christmas offers.

The campaign shines a spotlight on the charm and exceptional quality of Edinburgh’s local shops, demonstrating that shopping locally is more than just about finding the perfect gift, but is about uplifting and supporting the community that makes the city unique.

Join Laura Bond and neighbouring boutiques in store for a joyful day of shopping on Saturday 7th December only, as Thistle Street transforms into a festive haven for holiday shoppers. The Laura Bond store will host seasonal celebrations from 10 am to 5:45pm. Shoppers will be able to receive:

• An exclusive 20% discount on all in-store purchases for one day only.

• 15% off everything at SMI Store
• A 50% sale rack, along with 10% off the rest of the store at Stoodio

This special shopping event offers an intimate, community-focused experience, perfect for finding one-of-a-kind gifts in a from small local Edinburgh businesses in a warm and festive setting. By choosing to shop local this season, customers can directly contribute to the success of independent retailers who bring craftsmanship and character to Edinburgh’s retail scene.

Laura Bond, Founder and Creative Director at Laura Bond Jewellery said: “This Christmas, I’m encouraging people to embrace the spirit of community by choosing to shop local for those last-minute stocking fillers, rather than turning to large online retailers. After all, local businesses are at the heart of our communities, adding unique character, creating jobs, and supporting a thriving local economy.

Even buying just a couple of gifts from independent businesses can make a real difference. Now, more than ever, it’s vital to shop small.

At Laura Bond, we pride ourselves on offering a personalised experience for every customer, ensuring that each visit feels special. As we approach the busy festive period, it’s crucial for us and other small businesses to feel that support.

I’m looking forward to personally thanking everyone this December – our Christmas shopping day will be the perfect start to the holiday season.”


With so much to enjoy, Laura Bond’s December offerings bring the holiday spirit right to the heart of Edinburgh. From sparkling piercings to thoughtful gifts, that make a standout destination for holiday shoppers.

For more information, visit Laura Bond store at 52 Thistle St, Edinburgh EH2 1EN open 10am-5:45pm, Wednesday- Saturday.
