It’s never been easier to support small businesses…

At this time of year, it’s all too easy to get sucked into shopping online from big corporations, but there’s nothing quite like picking up something special from a small business.

Shining a spotlight on the wealth of talented producers and makers across Ireland, Bewley’s has opened a brand new Christmas Market in the iconic Grafton Street location – so there’s no excuse to not shop local!

From candles and clothing to beauty and books, you’ll find it all under one roof at Bewley’s. Here’s a little taster of what’s on offer, if you’re in need of some gifting inspiration…

Homeware

Whether it’s a set of candles inspired by Dublin’s iconic Poolbeg chimneys from Pigeon House Candles or some zero-waste handcrafted ceramics from Bobi, My Dear, some statement homeware pieces always make for good gifts. Secret Santa, parents or your partner, who doesn’t love something a little unique?

Fashion

If you’ve got someone in your life who’s environmentally-conscious and does their best to shop sustainably, a brand new tee from Due South Clothing will go down a treat. Responsibly made with recycled materials, they’re incredibly soft and super-stylish.

Art prints

Whether you want to help add some colour to a friend’s bare walls or you want to introduce your parents to the world of Irish art, picking up a print from Jam Art Factory is essential. With plenty of prints of Irish pubs, find their favourite and schedule a pint!

Beauty

Giving someone the gift of self-care is always a good idea. Choose from natural, ethical & environmentally-friendly creams and cleansers from Oxmantown Skincare, quality Irish hand sanitiser from Bumbóg or essential oils from The Nature of Things. The packaging is too nice to leave on the shelf!

Food

The foodies are well taken care of at Bewley’s Christmas market, with everything from the award-winning Savage Sauces to flavourful chutneys and pastes from Masaalon and a whole lot more. You might just have to pick yourself up a little something while you’re at it!

A good book

The ultimate stocking stuff has got to be a good book. Whether it’s one you’ve read and want to recommend or something new to signal the start of your own mini book club, who doesn’t love getting cosy and reading long into the evening over the Christmas break?

The Bewley’s Christmas Market is located on the Johnson’s Court entrance to Bewley’s Café and will be open throughout December.
