An Irish Christmas

Mutleyboo · 08-10-2020 6:36pm #1

There has been quite a few local places mentioned for shopping local. It's a great thing to do this year if we can (budget constraints). I thought we could have a thread where they are altogether as I for one am losing track!
I bought quite a few things last from tinnytoys. They were great and threw in a few big packets of haribo. Nice guys to deal with and have some cool toys

I’ve recently bought from totally toys in Castlebar for my little lads birthday. Shipping and delivery was exceptionally fast and got a personalised email afterwards to check everything was ok. I will definitely give them my custom again

jellybear · 10-10-2020 7:53am

Was wondering if we could do a thread like this

My two recommendations are-

Big Red Kitchen. They're based in Navan and do lots of jams, chutneys, dessert sauces etc. Lovely gift sets which I've bought for my neighbours this year

Jessabelle Crafts on Facebook/instagram. A friend of mine who does lovely wooden handmade items. Signs for kid's bedrooms, Christmas decor etc.

Duffy's Wonderful World of Toys in Dunleer, Louth.

Not the cheapest however highend stuff and lots of wooden toys, dolls houses etc.

PurpleBoxHero · 12-10-2020 10:36am

I've used World of Wonder Toys most recently this last week. They're based in Killarney. Competitive prices.

That's just perfect, We are expecting a baby next month (If she comes on time)

But if you all can keep a secret that might be a good present for her granny to remind her of her new grandchild's name

Fabulous but out of stock at the minute. Personally I think the robin would be a lovely gift for someone who has lost a loved one. Hopefully they will be back in stock soon.
