Christmas Gifting That Gives Back

Christmas Gifting That Gives Back

Posted:

Every gift here was made by hand, in Ireland, by someone writing a new chapter: people moving on from the criminal justice system or addiction, people who came to Ireland seeking refuge, people living with disability.

So when you give one gift, you give twice. 

Once to the person who unwraps it, and once to the person who made it.

Here are the pieces we love most this Christmas.

Ready to gift

Our gift sets come in eco friendly boxes, plastic free from lid to ribbon.

 

Handmade homewares

Our candles carry Irish names and Irish moods. Light Anam Cara for a soul friend, Fuaim na Mara for anyone who misses the sea, In na Coille for a walk in the woods without leaving the sofa, and Maidin sa Leaba for the slowest of mornings. Each is hand poured by Childvision CanDo, €21.50. For pure, honeyed light, choose the dipped beeswax pair from Camphill Community Dunshane, €19.

Set the Christmas table in linen, with Daisy or Primrose napkins at €37 for four, or the scalloped Scarletina at €48, for a table worth lingering at.

And for the gift that says stay a while: linen cushions in Fuchsia Hedgerow, Fern & Blossom and Periwinkle & Rust, from €75 (see them all).

A whole year in Irish waits in the 2027 Féilire as Gaeilge, printed by Triest Press, from €20.

 

Treasures for kids (and adults)

Meet Brídeóg, little Brigid, keeper of the fire. She wears a linen cape, carries a posy of flowers and a small felt snake, the sign that spring is waking. She arrives with her own story card, €49. (She has small parts, so she's for children over 3.)

She has two companions from Irish legend, the Selkie and Cú Chulainn, €49 each.

Then there are Ireland's small wild things, stitched soft: the hedgehog, the honey bee, the brimstone butterfly and the whorl snail, from €24.

 

A little softness

Wild Irish Rose. Wild Irish Heather. Honey & Oat. Garden Mint. Our natural soaps are €7 a bar and made by Childvision CanDo, alongside balms, butters and oils for winter skin. Tuck a Lavender Sleep Body Oil (€18.75) beside a soap and a lip balm (€5.50), and you have a hamper that encourages some well needed rest.

The twelve days, retold

The old carol, rewritten for a more inclusive Ireland. Two giddy grandkids. Three neighbours knocking. Four pints at your place. Nine rainbow stockings. Twelve mná a toasting.

Each day is laser cut in wood, hung on recycled ribbon and made in Limerick by Cairde Enterprises. Hang one for €6, or tell the whole story for €40.25.

For the rest of the tree, there are linen stars, our presidents Michael D., Mary McAleese and Mary Robinson in screen print, felt garlands to loop along the mantel, and an Irish linen stocking to hang year after year.

From our hands to yours

Delivery is free across Ireland on orders over €90. Every purchase is a vote for a more equal Ireland, and we're so glad you're part of it.
