Small Business Favourites: Solstice Minis
In the run-up to Christmas, I thought it would be a fun idea to introduce you to some of my favourite small businesses and giveaway something from them. You may have seen me share some of them on Instagram, some may have featured in my Etsy wishlists and some may be brand new. However, I hope you will also find a new favourite within them.
My first post in this series was on The Moongazing Hare and if you have missed it, please do go back.
Solstice Minis
I came across Solstice Minis in one of my favourite shops Bespoke Lichfield. I quickly fell in love with Soltice Mini’s ratty designs and have come to buy more both from Bespoke and directly from the Solstice Mini website.
While Solstice Mini’s main love is making rats, they also offer bespoke commissions of animals and a range of fun mini-animals and objects. Right now for instance they have cats, witches hats with mini frogs, rats and more, snails, spiders and a range of fun cryptids to name just a few pieces.
Solstice Minis offers a range of sizes including, macro, micro and mini and I have to say I have no idea how she manages to get some of the items so beautifully made yet so small.
As well as the self-standing creatures, seen within this post, there are also other items within the Solstice Minis range. Including; earrings, hanging hearts and scaled mini tables, dressers filled with mini curiosities.
No matter if you just like cute critters or have little space to display, or even just like something a little bit different, you may just find something you love as well.
So go on, why not check out Solstice Minis now? (You can also keep up to date on all their new creations and any fairs they may be attending on Facebook and Instagram).

This is sooo weird. My husband has a weird obsession with rats. I can’t even begin to explain how weird this is, the fact I am facing a website devoted to cute rats. It is almost like this site is calling to him. He is a year of rat so maybe that explains half of it. But my favourite has to be the Tiny pumpkin Ratty just because it is so in season now and plus I love the adorable pose it’s striking
My favourites are the Hula Dance Minis because they are cute and make me smile.
