Nothing gets us in the Christmas spirit like supporting Irish.
At Lovin.ie, we make it our mission to celebrate the amazing products made here at home – that’s why we started our weekly Irish Made series, showcasing a range of products created on Irish soil.
If organisation is not your strong point, and you haven’t made ‘The Big Trip’ into town to go Christmas shopping yet, don’t fret.
Websites like Louis Copeland’s MadeofIrish allow you to shop for amazing Irish gifts and products all in one place – without leaving the couch (maybe snuggled up in this Irish-made cashmere throw?).
Here are some of our favourite Irish-made products available online now.
1. Badly Made Books
Everybody loves a fancy notebook to scribble down their New Year’s resolutions. This one is illustrated by Sean O’ Sullivan and made from all recycled and recyclable material. You’ll definitely be on Santa’s good list for supporting Irish and the environment.
2. McNutt of Donegal Cashmere Wrap
If there’s ever a time to splurge on cosy cashmere – it’s Christmas. This McNutt of Donegal Cashmere Scarf only gets softer with age, and there’s a massive of range of different styles, brands and colours on site.
3. Bare Essential Gift Set
Packaging is everything when it comes to luxury skincare, and these organic, sustainably sourced products come in a gorgeous hand-crafted wooden box made from storm-felled beechwood – perfect for storing jewellery or trinkets once you’ve used up the products. That’s what you call a gift that keeps on giving.
4. Emma’s So Natural Eco Soy Candles
Brighten up your evenings while supporting an Irish Cottage Industry with Emma’s So Naturals Eco Soy Candles.
Perfect for people who may get headaches from Paraffin-packed candles, these are made from Eco Soya Wax blended with Essential Oils, which complement the environment and create an inner sanctum in any room.
You can burn this range of Irish-made candles for hours without any ill effects, rather you will experience the opposite – uplifted senses and improved mood.
The candles come in amazing Christmassy-scents; Masala Chai, Spiced Orange, Wonderland, and our favourite, Mint Crisp.
5. Audrey Hamilton Prints
Everyone is talking about Audrey Hamilton – and we’ve overheard a lot of chat about the His and Her giraffes – the perfect gift for the other half. The Dubliner spent a few years in LA before coming back home to continue crafting gorgeous pieces like the above – lucky us!
