We all want to give our loved ones something they’ll adore this Christmas, but it can be so hard to know what the right gift is. If you’re looking for something a little more considered than a few bits grabbed on a mad dash around town, then going for Irish-made is always a good idea.
Whatever you choose will have been made with care by someone not too far away, so you’re guaranteed the highest quality, as well as knowing you’re supporting local makers and choosing a more sustainable option.
The CLIFF Home collection has so many gorgeous Irish gift ideas to choose from, whether you’d like to give a hamper of delicious local food, something beautiful for the home, or a memorable experience. Here are some of our favourite picks from their range, not forgetting that they also have a selection of vouchers if you’d prefer to let your recipient choose.
