With Christmas creeping up, here’s a space to share your favourite products or shops. We encourage you to share as many Irish shops, makers, small businesses, artists and food producers as you can.

Whether it’s online or on the high street, big or small, if it’s Irish run and worth supporting, post it below.

People can of course share present ideas from multinationals but where you can, share Irish.

If you’re struggling for ideas, post a comment with the person’s age and hobbies and the sub can try to help.

Drop links, recommendations or your own local gems and help keep the spend at home.

Myself and the mod team on r/womenofireland have created a Shop Irish Spreadsheet – It’s broken down by category, with rough price estimates to suit all budgets. If you want your Irish business added, just ask in the comments on this post.

    Bean and Goose chocolate – mad money but delicious

  6. Not affiliated with them, but if anyone is looking for gifts for tea lovers, I highly recommend tea from Martin at: https://tea-total.com/

    I actually bought hampers last year based on a recommendation in this thread and was delighted with them. Great quality and nice to support local 🙂

  7. Saltwater Design is an Irish jewellery designer and maker – gorgeous pieces – I’ve bought from her loads and never disappoints 🙂

  9. Orange in Tuam makes lovely handmade chocolates and have nationwide delivery. I’m not affiliated with them but I do buy from him throughout the year.

  10. OP in your Toys section, [there’s a boardgame/toy shop in Clonakilty](https://happygoluckyclonakilty.com/) with one of Irelands biggest board game inventories for any boardgame enthusiast.

    Price is decent too compared to places like Amazon.

  11. I don’t think it’s worth supporting Irish for the sake of supporting Irish to be honest.

  13. Quiet luxury fragrance candles are lovely and made in Meath, they come fast and are packaged beautifully for gifts too , I was very happy with mine 🙂

  14. Lads what do you get a dad that has everything? He likes DIY so I got him a drill but looking for a small something else. Techy, engineering and maths kinda brain. Kinda man that loves a good spreadsheet for anything and everything.

  15. Bearded Candlemaker does gorgeous candles with locally inspired scents.

  16. A friend operates [Anniepooh.ie](http://Anniepooh.ie) – she sells sustainable/ecofriendly/low plastic day-to-day stuff, but also like, nice soaps, candles, refillable pens that don’t suck. A lot of it is Irish made, but some of it is UK too I think. Based in Mullingar. I don’t think they sell much that would go over 50 euro, and most of it is way cheaper than that.

  19. Bon Chocolatiers are world-class chocolatiers, based in Dublin (I think! Definitely Ireland). Not cheap in the slightest but will blow you away. If you have a gourmand on the list, this is a winner. [https://www.bonchocolatiers.ie/](https://www.bonchocolatiers.ie/)
