A local gift is the ultimate home indulgence …
Are you buying local this Christmas? When it comes to gifting, supporting homegrown brands is key, especially given the fact that, according to Eurostat, every €20 spent with an indigenous maker or producer is worth €80 to the local economy. Exquisite Irish crafts are the perfect way to show your appreciation this time of year. Or maybe your favourite neighbourhood boutique has stocked up on some lust-worthy homewares that are equally as alluring. What’s in now? A great tablecloth is key – we love how Jennifer Slattery’s green striped Irish linen tablecloth (below) is suitably festive but would also be the perfect addition to a summer table (the best homeware pieces work no matter what the season).
Equally, a candle from Rathbornes 1488, the Dublin candle company that is also the world’s oldest, is a home addition everybody welcomes – whether you’re gifting a loved one or a client, employee or partner. From hampers to gift sets and personalised options, Rathbornes 1488 offers exquisite corporate gifting options so you know you’ll be giving something they’ll really love to receive.
A final word to the wise: you cannot fail when gifting good food or a cosy Irish-made blanket – both walk the line between practicality and absolute indulgence. Shop a glossy edit of gifts from Irish brands and makers below.
