Stuck for a last-minute gift idea? Our Factory Shop ladies might be able to help...

I can’t quite believe I’m saying this already but we are only 10 days away from Christmas day! With this in mind, I thought I would begin today by reminding you that orders need to be placed by 22nd December to ensure your goods reach you in time so don’t delay!

I was talking to the lovely ladies in our factory shop yesterday who commented on how busy it has been over the last few weeks with many customers coming in search of presents for their nearest and dearest (and also for themselves in many cases!). As our shop staff are very much on the pulse when it comes to giving advice to customers, I thought I would ask their thoughts on great gift ideas for you, our avid blog readers. So in case you’re still in a quandary about what to buy someone special this Christmas, here are a few of their suggestions…

Jo, our Factory Shop Supervisor, picked out her favourite item, the Donegal Snood (in Oatmeal) which she says would make the perfect gift for a female friend or relative. Jo loves the cosy and snuggly feel of this snood and said that it feels luxurious to wear without having a luxury price tag. The chunky cable stitch is also very much on trend this season.

Next up, Gemma, one of our Shop Assistants, picked out the gorgeous Pocket Bag as her perfect present idea. Gemma particularly likes the number of pockets which she feels make this a really practical every-day bag and said that this would be an ideal present for her mum or sister (so she could borrow it off them she said – I like her style!).

Last but not least, Natalie, another of our lovely shop assistants couldn’t quite make up her mind so chose two different styles of socks. She said that the wide range of socks that we offer suit the different personalities of her friends so they would all make ideal gifts. Natalie chose the cream Over-the-Knee socks because they look fab worn pulled up with a skirt or slouched down for a more relaxed look and this style comes in a wide range of colours to complement any outfit. Natalie also chose the rose Ladies Boot Socks because she likes the way they look compared with some other boot socks on the market which tend to come in dark, dreary colours. Natalie commented that these are bright and cheery and perfect for friends who like long walks and warm feet!

I hope that these ideas have given you some food for thought. To make life even easier, all of the items chosen are currently in stock.
