We’ve been working alongside Uniquely Local since their very start. What a wonderful personal service we receive and our customers too, I’d have absolutely no issues recommended them to anyone and I do constantly.

Testimonial from Emily Carey

I have found Uniquely Local really great to work with as they always act promptly, professionally, are flexible (in the right way) friendly and reliable. This has remained consistent throughout the Covid crisis and other changes, and over a long period of time. It’s great!

Very easy system

I bought a voucher for a cookery course for my husband for his birthday as he loves cooking. He phoned Penistone Pies who the course was with and it was so easy. He booked a date suitable for him and is really looking forward to it

Jenny Stone

Bought as a birthday gift

Website was easy to use and it was very straightforward to order the chosen experience. The turn around time was so quick - I ordered an e-voucher and it was dispatched in 15 minutes.

Keep it local and have a great time !

Such a great choice of adventures and experiences for all ages. Good that you can exchange it if recipient wants to try something different + a range of prices .

Great idea!

I received a voucher, and it was so easy to order my experience after I had chosen one from the many choices.
Excellent.

Perfect gift ideas

I purchased an experience voucher for my sister and brother in law’s joint 60th birthdays. I chose the gift box option and had the gift sent directly to their home. It arrived 48 hours after placing the order which was wonderfully fast! They were thrilled with it and are looking forward to using it.

Good site

It was easy to use. I've not used my voucher yet it is an eid gift for someone which is in 15 days. But the website is a good idea for local businesses to do well.

Stephen Calder

Something a bit different

The website was clear and very easy to use. I’ll certainly look again for an experience as a gift

easy to use and recipients had a great time

Hi, i bought 2 gifts from this website. Both were received fast. My grandparents had virtual cheese and wine and they loved it. Can't recommend enough.

Fran Beresford
Uniquely Local
Love the idea of getting local gifts and experiences

This website is a really good idea and makes a refreshing change from all the normal "mass produced" gift experience sites that offer great ideas, but most of the time, don't deliver on their promise. Website is easy to navigate and, so far, all has gone well. I purchased a Champagne Breakfast for two at the Brownie Barn for my niece's 30th birthday, so I hope she'll enjoy it, but I have no complaints at this stage, so fingers crossed!

Cristina Woodall
Uniquely Local
Couldn't be easier

This is a very good website to navigate and the choice of gifts fabulous. There's something for everyone.

Julie Penn

Sending a gift couldn't be easier

Thank you Uniquely Local for making gift sending so easy, and we know that the gift we are buying is from an independent business - win, win!
