When it comes to gifts, we love to give, and what better gift for someone this Christmas than something homegrown and lovingly put together for you. We have a look at some of what Ireland can offer for people of all ages, and all interests. Here’s our Christmas stocking filler guide.
For the very small ones in the family, the magic of this time of year is something to be encouraged and nurtured. What better way to do this than with a portal into the world of magical creatures with this fairy door. The Irish Fairy Door Company lets you do exactly this for the little person in your life. You can order your door right here and they even post it to you for free. It really is a wonderful thing to be able to help develop a kid’s imagination and this is perfect for the smallies this Christmas.
From the smallies to the not so small, everyone enjoys a good book, and an Irish company has the perfect personalised gift for those that like to share a bedtime story. Writing For Tiny puts you and your child into the story. Make Christmas even more magical with a one of a kind book made just for you! They are available in hardback or softback with 64 colourful pages and beautiful illustrations, tailor made for your family and little one, and from as little as €18.
You can order your very own book right here, a beautiful Christmas tale full of adventures, lessons and naughty but nice penguins! Oh, and did we mention each book comes with a free eBook emailed to you too?? A gorgeous, personal present for someone this festive season.
Another great gift this year is the present you get to open early! Christmas Eve Boxes are a brilliant for getting in the Christmas mood the night before and building excitement for the big day. Each box contains a letter from Santa, a new pair of pyjamas, a Christmas themed DVD and treats to share. The idea is to get the whole family around the fire and watch a Christmas movie together! There are different boxes available, depending on the age of the person you’re ordering for, and each one works out at around €32 including postage. Check ’em out right here.
Want to do a little something special for the guy in your life? Remember mix tapes / CDs? Well, now you can go retro for your man and put together a playlist of his favourite songs and present it to him with this…a USB “Mix Tape”. It’s a neat little idea, very personal, and perfect if he loves his music. The 1GB USB will hold about 900 min of music, and you can write the songs on the inside sleeve of the “tape”! Be sure to put a few Christmas songs on as well as all his favourite bands! They can be ordered here.
Finally, for someone special no matter their age, there’s the Little Life Kit, a fantastic gift to spread a little inspiration and joy this year. The kit contains a personalised message written by you for the recipient, as well as some gorgeous charms and the following message; ” my hopes for you are that . . . you always reach for the stars, your heart is free and you have the chance to follow it, you learn the best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself, you don’t dream your life, but live your dreams, you set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there, you have the courage to grow and become who you really are and that when it rains, you see rainbows’
They cost just €16 so they suit any budget and really they make a great gift for any occasion. You can check them out here, but order soon as they’re proving really popular!
That’s it for our recommendations; If you have any feel free to comment below and between us all we should be able to cover gifts to suit everyone this Christmas!!
