Authentic gifts for Christmas

Designed & Made in Ireland

Gifts are more than just objects; they tell stories, send messages and sometimes hold secrets. Giving gifts helps us to express how

we feel and what matters to us.

Everything you see in this curated selection was lovingly imagined, designed and made

in Ireland. Each product carries an authentic story – about who created it, where it comes

from and how it was made.

Collectively, these products tell the story of Ireland’s imagination, creativity and design heritage. And they demonstrate that we are part of a new contemporary Ireland that has

meaning, values and a bright future.

Share a unique story with someone you love this Christmas and give Irish craft.
