While we'd have loads of fun curating a list of outrageously luxurious and expensive Christmas gift ideas, we're practical folk here at One Fab Day. We know that you're probably not going to drop big bucks on most of the people on your Chrismas list. On the contrary, most of your loved ones will likely be assigned a Christmas gift budget of €50 or less, which is precisely what inspired the first installment in our Christmas gift guide series! But just because we're focussing on affordable gift ideas doesn't mean we're dropping our standards! This is a dud gift-free zone! In fact, we'd be thrilled to give or receive any of the gorgeous items on this list!
But first, a note on our selection process!
We're doing something a little different with our gift guides this year. Every gift we've included is either Irish-made or available to purchase via an independent, Irish-owned business (in many cases, both!) We've done this, first and foremost, because we feel it's more important than ever to buy local, and support Irish businesses and producers where we can. And secondly, because we know many of you are keen to avoid the VAT and duties and extended delivery times associated with buying from a non-EU country. Happy shopping!
