ARTICLE UPDATED ON THE 16th of APRIL. NEW LINKS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH CATEGORY
Big retailer stores are struggling to keep up with demand for some items as everyone panics and buys too much.
They are all working to put safety measures in place but I wanted to share a list of links to help you get through your online shopping and also support smaller and indipendents companies.
This isn’t a comprehensive list or one of my usual “best of” London guides.
Think more of a community notepad where we all share info. This list will grow and I will update it as much as I can, please share names and links with me in the comments box below or over Instagram
P.s. sorry it’s very “London-centric” this is where I live and I know most places.
Thanks for creating with me a good database to help each other during this unsettling time and for sharing this on socials 💜

Hi there!
My name is Sofie and I am the proud creator of a new coffee site called www.cozycoffeecup.com. I am focused on bringing my readers informative content to help them brew their perfect cup! I offer recipes, brewing guides, reviews, and much more!
I came across your site and I am going to link to you as a resource and I was hoping you might be willing to link to mine? As a new site I am focused on gaining exposure and I feel the content I create would be extremely useful to your readers.
A bit about me, I am a working Mom of two who runs on coffee and all the caffeine! My dream is to be able to retire from my day job and instead spend my days with my kiddos while sharing my love of coffee with the world.
I am actively publishing new content/information weekly and would appreciate it if you could check it out!
I hope you and yours are staying healthy and well, I look forward to hearing from you!.
