To borrow our Dear Leader’s fame,

Tasty and tempting.

I have news from the West of more Irish made stocking fillers for you! Because Galway is so awesome there’s a new website selling Galway made stuff so you can own some awesome! Galway Gifts Gallery has a handmade Judy Greene Pottery Crib which can be personalised for just €25. They also have a selection of super fancy made in Galway mustards (hand made by my Mum – she has mustard notions) including Prosecco & Tarragon, Horseradish and Clove Spiced Mustard to go with the Ham on Christmas day (or in the sangwiches on Stephen’s Day). Get all 3 mustards AND a Judy Greene Mustard pot for just €25. A gift that certainly cuts the mustard!
