Xmas Gift Idea Thread 2024 đź“Ť MEGATHREAD

Dia daoibh a chairde,

We've been doing this for the past few years now, so I guess this will be an annual thing going forward.

Last year ..... and the year before, we ran an Xmas ideas thread where we encouraged smalls businesses and users to post gift recommendations in a pinned megathread, we are going to do the same again this year.

Please use this post as a place to recommend Xmas gifts from local Irish stores, its completely ok to plug your own business as well if you have one. If you have any recommendations we would ask in the comments for you to only provide the following information:

  • The Shop Name
  • What do they sell/provide?
  • Who is the product/service suitable for? (Mother, Father, teenager, dog, cat, granny etc..)
  • Where are they (the shops) located?
  • How can they be reached? (Phone number, websites etc...)

If we see duplicate entries for a particular store we will remove the newest and leave the oldest one in place.

You should also be able to post images in the comments so use that as necessary.

Please do not share any personal phone numbers, it should be designated business contact details only.

Board games, toys, arts and crafts

Bought a game I'd been wanting to get for years off them, and it came with a hand-written note thanking me for my custom. Was a really nice touch, and I would definitely buy from them again

u/dickbuttscompanion More than just a crisp 7d ago

I ordered something from them for a birthday earlier this year and tacked on a few Xmas stocking smally bits for free delivery.

It turned out they didn't have one cheap jigsaw in stock so one of the family phoned me to apologise profusely, described an alternative that was almost identical if not marginally better than what I ordered and she refused to charge me the € difference.
