“Myself and my brother opened this pop up store a little while ago on Dame Lane. The tiny department store is a wonderful seasonal gathering of our favourite local and international brands. The Others in this project are a carefully considered bunch of partners from the worlds of flowers, food, fashion, beauty, homeware, gifts and more.”

“What about a gift for an Irish-made film festival, such as a season ticket for the 2014 Jameson Dublin International Film Festival, from February 13 to 23, 2014. Season ticket-holders will not only get to watch every film in the festival; they will also be invited to the exclusive galas and after-show parties attended by the stars over the course of the festival. The festival season ticket is currently available for purchase at the early bird price of €200 (normally €245), until January 6, 2014.”

“I make jewellery and fascinators under the brand L Designs, which has a diverse mix of pieces, ranging from elegant bridal ware to fun and quirky. The common theme in all of my pieces is intricate bead work, incorporating gemstones and Swarovski crystals and the delicate use of woven colour patterns.”
“My first stocking filler idea are these cute little bee earrings for €12 that could fly into your life very soon! They are 1 inch long and are made of miyuki seed beads so are very light and comfortable to wear.”
“My second stocking filler is this elegant little fascinator for €40 that is made with Chinese silk and finished with a crinoline bow.”
