My hands are very dry for a lot of washing and cold weather so I decided to try out the Neroli & Vanilla Hand/Body Lotion from Sunvale Soap Company, a local Limerick business.

Wow I am loving how my hands feel, they are so smooth. There is a beautiful scent, this will be my go to hand lotion.

I discovered this preserve in the New Product section and thought let's try it.  Well, I am really glad I did. It truly lives up to the brand name Mór Taste!  I loved the tartness of the cherries. It was spread on bread, and crackers, added to yogurt and eaten off the spoon, that's how much I loved it.

Plus it has much less sugar.  I am looking forward to trying the raspberry.  Rumour has it that there will be blueberry and 4 berry arriving next week.  They are definitely going on my shopping list. Review by Geraldine

I recently tried the Clearspring Hot & Spicy Miso Soup Paste and absolutely love it. It's delicious, packed with rich umami flavor, and so easy to make - just add hot water to the sachet, give it a stir, and enjoy. It has just the right amount of heat to warm you up on a chilly day, making it a perfect quick meal or snack.

I always love checking out your new product section and discovering hidden gems like this. Keep up the great work! Review by Charlotte

I remember duck eggs from my childhood, so I was delighted to find that you have them in the shop.

My granny always used them for baking, she was an amazing cook.  Grandad had a boiled duck egg for breakfast every Sunday and I would join him, feeling so grown up!

I love that they are local and I can now reminisce while having my breakfast. Thank you, they are delicious. Review by Iseult

I love trying new products, so when Eva introduced her Tallow Body Butter, I couldn’t resist giving it a go. The first thing that struck me was the gorgeous jasmine and geranium scent — it’s divine! It feels amazing on my skin, leaving it soft and hydrated without any greasiness. I even use it on my face and lips, and it works like a charm.

It quickly became a favorite, and I added it to my Christmas wish list along with the Orange Moisturiser Bar. The Moisturiser Bar is super convenient and melts effortlessly into my skin, leaving it just as soft and hydrated. I love how easy it is to use, whether at home or even when I’m stuck in traffic. It’s perfect for daily use and travels so well. Plus, it’s gentle enough for my face and lips too.

Both products have become essentials in my skincare routine — I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you Eva from ForEvaPure. Review by Geraldine

Your local food and craft Christmas range is an absolute gem! With so many unique, handmade gifts and delicious local treats, it’s the perfect one-stop shop. From thoughtful presents to festive goodies, there’s something special for everyone on my Christmas list!

Being open 7 days a week makes it so convenient to pop in and support local producers and artisans. It’s great knowing my purchases make a difference to the community. And the plastic-free gift options? Such a fantastic touch!

I love being able to create custom hampers of my choice —a truly personal and sustainable way to gift this season. Thank you. Review by Paula

I’m a big fan of lemon, ginger, and honey in hot water - especially in winter. The organic lemons, ginger, and raw Irish honey from The Urban Co-op helped keep me cold and flu-free last season.
 
My go-to blend is sliced ginger (unpeeled), half a squeezed lemon, and a teaspoon of honey topped with hot water in my bottle to sip all day. It keeps me warm, hydrated, and feeling great. Sometimes I’ll add a few slices of organic turmeric for an extra kick!

This winter I am going to try the Irish honey with elderberries, to give me an extra immune boost. Review by Geraldine
