I’ve just launched a line of silk scarves based on my street art in Dublin and here in Porto… One of the scarves may be of particular interest as it’s raising funds for The Abortion Rights Campaign…

Stuck for something a little different stocking-filler wise?
Dublin artist (and ‘sheet reader) Heather Thompson’s portraits are full of blood and longing, myth and pop culture; here you’ll find handsome devils and all-devouring mistresses in gold-gilt.
Following a summer solo exhibition in the Bernard Shaw, Richmond Street, Dublin 2 you can now get Heather’s prints and canvas bags for “mad cheap”.
Sez Heather:
There are four print designs available, including a very limited number of prints of Veda hand-embellished with gold glitter and paint. There’s also Tom Waits, Stoya and more. Decorate your walls or look tré swish carrying your groceries. All available in my online shop (at link below).

Ireland’s wildlife by Irish youngsters.
In card form.

I founded the Wild Postcard Project with my friend Angela earlier this year, whilst having a pint and talking about our love of Irish wildlife.
This is an initiative to raise awareness of Ireland’s biodiversity, via an artwork competition for kids and teens…
After receiving nearly 1,300 entries, a judging panel selected 12 winners, and we converted the winning artworks to postcards (above)… So now, it’s finally time for Irish biodiversity to go global via a long awaited digital detox: postcards!
The packs of 12 postcards are now available for purchase, for the super reasonable price of €8. 100% of sales go to fund next year’s project (we’re not making a cent off of this ourselves!)
They can be purchased at our Etsy shop (link below): bit.ly/WildPostcardProject We’d be delighted if you shared this, as we’re eager to see these postcards sent to all corners of the globe!

…a holistic candle from the Candle Cottage is your only man.

I am a Kildare-based chandler, and create Holistic Soyabean Candles. My business is called Candle Cottage and my range includes Hot Oil Massage Candles (You actually pour these on your skin and come in seasonal blends), and Aromatherapy Candles (these you burn like any other candle with each one designed to stimulate a Chakra point)…
You had us at soyabean, in fairness.

On the hunt for a stocking filler for a young ‘un?
Ross McDonagh writes:
May I please suggest my debut children’s book – The Curious Fox – as an Irish made stocking filler? It tells the story of a fox cub who wakes one morning with a question on his mind:
‘I wonder if I have a feature / that sets me ‘part from other creatures?’
He goes on a journey and meets an array of animals as he tries to figure out what makes him special in the world, and learns some very important lessons at the end of an eye-opening day (with help from his Irish mammy, of course!)
I’m from Dublin, as is the book’s illustrator Conor O’Brien. It is published by Veritas and printed in Cork and available in Eason’s and Veritas stores, or online on Amazon or Veritas online.. Thank you

Each year Irish Design Shop produce a calendar with a talented Irish designer, we are delighted to see Dublin-based illustrator, Fuchsia MacAree’s 2017 Calendar, Months in the making, The end result is an exquisite calendar containing 13 keepsake prints exclusive for Irish Design Shop…
Fuschia adds:
“Inspired by postcards of Ireland, this calendar gives a flavour of the country in the 21st century…. Maybe buy it for an emigrant to show them what they’re missing back home, or for someone who seems just a little bit too cheery, considering.”
