Need some Christmas inspiration? Here's Enterprise Nation's Irish gift guide (Part 2)

Posted: Thu 8th Dec 2022

We asked our Enterprise Nation members to tell us about the Irish gifts they were offering this Christmas, and they did.

So much so that we decided to split our Irish gift guide into three parts. We published part 1 earlier this week, and now here's part 2, with plenty more wonderful gift ideas to choose from.

Herbal Earth

If you're looking for the gift of natural, refillable skincare for sensitive skin, this Co. Mayo business is where you should start.

The No.42 facial oil is high in antioxidants and soothes, repairs and protects. There is a sample pack available of minis too. Find natural Irish skincare at herbalearth.ie.

Wrist-Assured

This cleverly named company produces identity bracelets that help give your loved ones the gift of assurance. It operates a 24/7 emergency telephone helpline, and with its discreet but recognisable solution provides the perfect gift for someone with memory issues such as Alzheimer's.

Know anyone who needs a little 'brain fuel'? Unitas Life has developed Intramind, its cognitive performance capsules that contain 15 ingredients from plant, mushroom and shrub extracts.

The capsules also combine multi-vitamins and amino acids to increase energy and focus. You'll find all that brain fuel at unitas.life

I Am Self-Care

If aromatherapy is your thing, you could do a lot worse than this brand. Based in Donegal, I Am Self-Care's products are handmade in small batches using organic, vegan ingredients, and pure essential oils.

There's a lovely selection of lotion bars, roller oils, pillow mists, room diffusers and more at iamselfcare.co.uk
