6 Beautiful Irish Buys to Celebrate Easter

This year, Easter is hot on the heels of St Patrick's Day, and those school holidays will be upon us before we know it. While the stores are heaving with easter treats and decor, now is a wonderful opportunity to support small, local, independent businesses.

Here are a few beautiful all-Irish buys we've been eyeing up.

1. Tara Gartlan's Divine Hand-Crafted Easter Eggs

The Co. Monaghan-based chocolate maker has a Michelin-star pedigree, which is clear to see in her stunning easter creations, like this raspberry and white chocolate egg. Available to pre-order now.

2. Beautiful Forever Blooms from interior store Irish Country Home

With our blustery Galway weather, it sometimes feels like those spring blooms don't hang around nearly long enough. Irish Country Home stock a variety of pretty and natural-looking blooms that will add texture and colour to your space.

3. Foxford's sweet pastel lambswool blanket

Updating your throws and cushions is such a quick and easy way of refreshing your space. Not only is this pastel check blanket made from super soft lambswool, but a percentage of every sale will be donated to Foxford's charity partner Sunflower Children's Hospice. €59, available at Standún.

4. Little Findies cute wooden egg hunt kit

If you want to go big on the Easter egg hunt but easy on the chocolate, you'll love this sweet set from Irish biz Little Findies. Featuring a rattan basket and 20 painted wooden eggs in gorgeous hues, kids of all ages will have fun hiding them around the house.

5. Sinead Keary's sweet spring sleepwear collection

Now that I've tried these PJs, there really is no going back. The scallop details and mother of pearl buttons gives them a gorgeous luxe touch, while the bamboo fabric is impossibly soft and comfy.

6. Small-batch chocolate treats from Clo Chocolates

I can't wait to get the little people in my life some of these edible treats from Sligo-based Clo Chocolates. Hand-made in small batches with ethically-sourced cocoa and featuring no palm oil or added vegetable oils, they're also extremely cute to boot.
