The London ShopUp wrapped up last night and it was, if I may say so, our best one yet! Even the weather was kind to us this year with not a single cloud in the sky (our rain curse must finally be over!). We had more than 3,000 visitors stop by, browse, shop and say hello. What a busy, bustling two days! We have loads and loads of images to share, and we’ll mostly let these pretty photos do the talking, but we’d like to recap a few highlights…

The children were entertained by The Little Top and Paperbirds in the café area. There was also some fun gingerbread decorating with Clever Gretel.

There were some great snacks to taste if anyone was peckish. From the delicious frozen smoothies by Frills and the Hey Yum Organic candies, everything was yummy and healthy — not forgetting the great healthy GoGo Snacks by our sponsor Little Dish.

There was such an incredible selection of shops, each of them unique and full of treasures — literally something for everyone.

Of course Santa made an appearance again this year, and it was the perfect opportunity for the little ones to share their Christmas wishes and for the parents to take a great holiday snap (we posted some cute shots on our Instagram feed). The photo sessions with Mini Edits were also a massive success.

Our friend Bethie and her band the Wilford Social set the mood on Sunday evening with festive tunes, and we got to dip into the samples of delicious sparkling wine from Weinreich Wein.

I do want to say a big thank you to our amazing team with Rebecca and Miraya at the helm. It is such an amazing but intense event to set up and organise and it came together perfectly. Some of our lovely helpers have been with us since the beginning and it is always such a treat to have them on board again.

And of course another big thank you goes to all the amazing boutiques that joined us this year and made it the event it was. We are so honoured to be working with so many talented people and to bring all these small, independent brands together like this.

Bring on the next one…!
