TODAY is Small Business Saturday UK - a grassroots, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to 'shop local' and support small businesses in their communities.
The day itself takes place on the first Saturday in December each year, but the campaign aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses.
On Small Business Saturday, customers across the UK go out and support all types of small businesses, online, in offices and in stores.
With this in mind, we asked Pioneer readers to give a shout out to their favourite local businesses.
So if you're looking for a unique Christmas gift, meal out, or a makeover, check out the recommendations below.
If your favourite isn't on the list, give a shout out in the comments or on our Facebook page.
