Christmas Special: Celebrating independents, last minute shopping and debunking hustle culture with Curate Glasgow

Independent Thinking - Exploring a new era for retail and the high street

This is the second of our Christmas themed episodes, as we sit down with Kate from Curate Glasgow, an online discovery platform for independents, that enables them to share their work with new audiences, and helps people like you and me discover our new favourites. From cafes to chocolate makers, ceramicists to florists and much much more, Curate celebrates the best of Glasgow’s independent scene.

We first chatted to Kate back in early 2021, so I thought I’d check back in to see how the past 2 years have been, what’s in store in their Christmas gift guide, and how Kate has managed to find balance juggling this project on top of her full time job, 2 house moves and the return to ‘normal’ life. Whether you’re thinking of starting your own project or are currently running your own - Kate shares what has worked for her and offers some words of advice to anyone looking to launch something in 2023. And, if you’re looking for some last minute gift ideas, well we have something for you too…
