undefined review of Wee Cottage Incense Burner image 1 out of 1

SiofraVerified

Bought this for my husband...he loves the smell of turf fires - it reminds him of holidays in Ireland. We love this wee house. Gives a great turf smell but not overpowering and the smoke coming out of the chimney looks fab. Will be buying more as gifts for others.

JayneVerified

Really tasty and versatile relish! The chargrilling gives the peppers a beautiful burst of flavour. Lovely with cheese and crackers, as a dip or at a barbecue. I love the little pot too, the lid and label are so pretty - would make a nice little gift!

My daughter got sent one of these candles as a housewarming gift and I loved it so much I had to order one for myself. It arrived so quickly and it smells amazing. I get so many compliments about it. I am obsessed.

JayneVerified

Really nice Jalapeño relish with a good kick of heat, but without being too overpowering. Very versatile - great addition to the barbecue, adds an extra kick to burgers in a bun. Also a lovely accompaniment to cheese and crackers or added to cheese in Toasted Sandwiches. A great item to have in the fridge!

LaurenVerified

Ordered this for Xmas for my wee boy and it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! I cannot wait to see him on Xmas day having his first wee shloer. Also it’s fab that he can’t break it when he inevitably throws it around the house

undefined review of Shipyard Incense Match Box image 1 out of 1

Joshua

I first came across ‘Shipyard’ at the Titanic Experience in Belfast. Bought the incense because I was intoxicated by the scent. Rugged, rich and lightly Smokey (in the good way). After purchasing I came home to Edinburgh, found the shop online and bought the air fresheners, another pack of the incense and the candle. This scent is amazing and I would love it if it came in a cologne, body wash, soap, oils!!! Please please!

NaomiVerified

I made an Irish hamper for my dad to remind him of home. I included these crisps. It's safe to say he loved them! Cheese and onion are his favourite flavour of crisps and he loved these. Thank you :)

Looks just like the wee cottages down at the Ulster Folk Museum, green door and all! The wee turf fires smell just like the real thing, perfect for someone who does have a fire!

Thee best wee shop anywhere ! Friendly , welcoming and pure class, all products are all the things anyone needs as a souvenir from their trip to Belfast but more so for the people like myself who live away from Belfast now , it’s the little things that make my home away from home special and nostalgic ! Forever a customer as I was born n bred and super proud of my wee country 💚👊🏽

ScottVerified

My 2 year old had the older mugs and dropped it so we got her a new one with “Wee Dote” on it. She loves it and has to get tea in it nearly everyday for breakfast 🤗

We named the tables at our wedding dinner after some of our favorite Belfast pubs (we met at one of them!), and these were the perfect way to indicate which table was which.

Ingrid

Holy moly, scrumptious stuff! Perfect little something to give as a gift. Be sure to buy at least twice what you plan on, because once you taste it you'll end up eating at least 1/2 of what you buy.

Excellent scarf!! It's so soft and neutral toned so i can wear it basically anywhere!! I also like to support local, and this was woven of lambswool just over in Donegal. Would make an excellent Christmas gift for anyone during the Christmas season!!

Jayne

First of all the bag design looks amazing and would look really nice to put in a Christmas hamper. The crisps as always from Glens of Antrim, are perfect - just the right thickness, nicely cooked and the flavour is lovely but not overpowering. Added bonus - gluten free too.

undefined review of Jalapenero Jam image 1 out of 1

Really nice jalapeño jam - a good kick from the chillies although not too overpowering, well balanced with the sweetness of the red peppers. Lovely with cheese and crackers, cooked meats, or to accompany a barbecue.

undefined review of Multipurpose Lip & Face Stick - Girl Next Door | Pearl Beauty image 1 out of 1

Jayne

I’ve been looking for the perfect blusher for ages and have finally found it! This is amazing! The colour is beautiful, a very natural pink shade which would suit all ages and all skin tones. Being a creamy stick - it’s so quick and easy to apply and hardly needs any blending, I just use fingertips. So great for using in a hurry or when on the go. You can have just a swipe for a more sheer look, or build it up for a stronger look. I also pop a little onto my lips too, it’s a very pretty colour...

undefined review of Born & Bred in Ireland Beanie image 1 out of 2

Sophie

Not sure if there any many colours I don’t have of these beanies! Honestly my favourite and a must have all year around over here! Super soft, not itchy and can pop in the wash no bother. I have a teal beanie for the Belfast Giants games (to match my jersey of course!), then I have an array of different colours! I tend to get cold ears and ear pain in the wind, so I carry these wherever I go!

Ingrid

FABULOUS. An added bonus, while I'm not a fan of extra packaging, these are in a plastic tray inside the bag so they didn't get crushed in transit to the US. They are delicious!

undefined review of Autumn Spiced Pie Candle | The Bearded Candle Makers image 1 out of 1

Ingrid

Hands down the best candles... Turf fire is my all-time favorite, but Autumn pie does not disappoint. Always a very natural smell, nothing cloying or artificial. This smells like ginger and spice.

Jayne

This is my first time trying Hot Honey and it did not disappoint, the two flavours go very well together with a nice hot kick off the chilli. Delicious drizzled over cheese with crackers, but so versatile it could be used on in so many ways!

This is so beautiful, I will probably frame it instead of using as a dish towel. It looks like a watercolor painting. Gorgeous!

Absolutely love my tree decoration I bought for my husband. Only one disappointment and that’s with myself for not being quick enough to get the ‘Snow surrender’ one.
