Call us old-fashioned, but we love that the Christmas stocking tradition is still going strong, and that, come December 25th, millions of people around the world will be simultaneously rummaging around in a giant sock, searching for treats! That said, buying small, inexpensive gifts for a Christmas stocking can be a wasteful practice, as they rarely turn out to be something we love and use regularly. The same goes for the gifts we buy for Secret Santa or Kris Kringle gift exchanges at work or among friends and family. But that all changes here! We've rounded up a selection of the most useful, covetable and gorgeous gifts under €10. Bring on the stocking stuffer gift ideas!
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!
