The core of Material Mum Designs lies in personalised photo gifts and custom keepsakes. These aren’t just decorative items, they’re tangible reminders of special moments, relationships, and milestones.
Each product is:
₊˚⊹♡₊˚⊹ Thoughtfully designed with the customer’s story in mind
₊˚⊹♡₊˚⊹ Handmade with care, rather than mass-produced
₊˚⊹♡₊˚⊹ Unique, often tailored to individual memories or occasions
Whether it’s a gift for a loved one or something to mark a personal milestone, the emphasis is always on emotional value over mass appeal.

Why markets matter (to Devon's local economy) 🛍️
Markets are so much more than a place to shop. They're the beating heart of our communities.
From farmers and food producers to makers, artists and independent businesses, markets give small local businesses a chance to share their passion, meet customers face to face and grow.
Every purchase made at a local stall helps keep money circulating within Devon, supporting families, creating opportunities and protecting the unique character of our towns and villages.
Markets also bring people together. They create spaces where neighbours connect, visitors discover local talent and communities celebrate the incredible produce, creativity and craftsmanship Devon has to offer.

What are we addicted to?...
Shouting about small, local, Devon businesses!
At the weekend we attended Wild & Verdant Flower Farm's first PYO event, which was a blooming success!
Set in the beautiful Blackdown Hills, with rolling hills and stunning scenery, friends Amanda and Kim work hard on the land to grow flora and fauna for a wide range of uses. From wedding and farewell flowers, through to seasonal bouquets and dried blooms. 🌹
Devon is home to a vast amount of businesses from makers, growers, creators and sellers ... You can find over 140 of them in our growing directory www.circularsocial.co.uk

Merry Go Round - Preloved Kids Clothes, Books, Toys & more focuses on pre-loved children’s clothing and essentials, creating a system where items are reused rather than discarded. This circular model ensures that high-quality goods continue their lifecycle instead of ending up in landfill.
By encouraging donations and resale, the organisation taps into a powerful idea: that sustainability doesn’t have to come at a cost. In fact, families benefit financially while also contributing to more responsible consumption.
This approach aligns perfectly with the broader mission of Circular Social, to promote businesses that embed circular economy principles into everyday life.
