Any great Irish companies you can recommend?

Thinking of Christmas and wanting to promote Buy Irish, what Irish businesses would you recommend? My recommendation is www.beautyskincare.ie Great products and based in Bray. They send out little samples with their orders.

Bit of an obvious one, but O’Neills.

I’ve had cause to calm their customer service line and they’ve always been fantastic. Loads of choice, not just for the county GAA stuff, but their basic leggings and gym gear are great as well.

I got lovely soaps and lotions from The Handmade Soap co. Also the Little Green Shop, both are brilliant for customer service, i can't recommend highly enough. Facebook have a page called Shop in Ireland, lots of great Irish companies on there, big and small.

Great! Also www.mishnoc.com for leather stuff.

Last year used clewbay candles and they were brilliant. Great products, great quality. Highly recommend.

This year have used hairybaby (based in cork) and they have great print t shirts and bags etc. Nice kinda modern Irish things.

Genuinely lovely perfume.

Cloud 10 beauty is great for makeup and skincare.

Alan Ardiff is a goldsmith and his stuff is gorgeous if a bit spendy.

Lily O’Briens for chocolate.

The Bearded Candle Makers do a lovely turf fire candle.

Shaws is an Irish, family owned department store and are now online. I bought a load of stuff from them the other day, including some beautiful Waterford Crystal xmas tree decorations, they were really good value.

I think Tipperary Crystal are doing decorations too.

@LadyCampanulaTottington I was actually just about to order candles from there. Are they worth it?

I got stuff from mimiandmartha.com/ last year. Must look again this year. Lifestyle sports is also a reliable Irish brand.

Does anyone know of an Irish butcher who delivers to the EU? Pre Brexit we used to use a Scottish butcher to get bacon and gammon delivered for Christmas but that’s obviously a no go this year.

Beautiful handmade jewellery

I bought lots of my Christmas presents from small suppliers that I found through the Shop in Ireland Facebook page (group?), they have a website now www.shopinireland.ie/

Lovely personalised jeweller, great value too - www.draiochtco.com/

Slippers from theirishwoollenworkshop.com/

Green Angel and Kinvara do great skincare

www.mcgonigleglassstudio.com/ - blown glass jewellery

I’ll think of some more!

@minniep yes! The turf one is amazing.

Baconbythebox do delivery to France and Belgium if that’s any help JE17. Clonakilty and Lisduggan, as well as ham. They also do dry goods now - I have a box of 50 Tayto arriving for Christmas 😀

Thanks for these recommendations. I've ordered the turf candle for Ds1 homesick in London - just the job!

Nicholas Mosse Pottery
Burren Perfumery has wowed every single person I gave it to.
Irish Whiskey Shop

Ooh I just thought of another one for perfume.
www.burrenperfumery.ie

Sorry it's actually www.burrenperfumery.com

Lifestyle Sports. The speed of delivery is unreal! Our local one also has lovely helpful staff who are really good looking

I second Alan Ardiff jewellery and Yvonne Kelly jewellery.
Wix and Wax do nice wax melts. I love their Coconut Milk and Lavender Snap Bar.
They do one in aid of the RNLI I think as a family member sadly drowned. I saw the girls featured on Nationwide.
I love Brooke and Shoals candles too.

Came here to suggest Cloud 10 beauty but I see someone beat me to it!

The Skin Nerd is also good.

I'd be far more on board with the skin nerd if she didn't call humans "hoomans" for reasons I just don't understand.

The book resort is a great using company and very reliable with gorgeous book and Treat boxes

Ohh great thread! I'm newly living in Ireland and love buy Irish!
Maybe someone here can help me, I want to buy my daughter a wooden dolls house for Xmas! I have been scouring the Internet for one made in Ireland or a little company but no luck. Does anyone know of a company that makes wooden toys?
I'm getting a bit short on time which means I'll end up going to smyths or something soon! 🤔
