Sending Christmas gifts to family in Ireland when you are living abroad can take some organizing! Post office queues, packaging everything up, trying to find something for everybody. We know this and we have some ideas on how to make it a lot easier, check out our guide for making sending Christmas gifts to Ireland a stress-free activity!

Order from an Irish business

Supporting local is a big theme this year so buying gifts from an Irish business is a must! Kilkenny Shop is not only Irish-owned but also offers over 200 Irish brands making it a great way to amplify your efforts in supporting Irish. On top of that, because we’re based in Ireland it will be so much easier to send gifts to your family at home. Allow us to take away all the hassle of posting and packaging for you!

Timing

Don’t struggle with going to ten different shops to find all the right gifts, we have a selection for everyone all under one roof so you can cut down your time on shopping! Kilkenny Shop offers 5-12 working days delivery to Ireland so your gifts won’t be long arriving. We recommend that you get your orders in this November so you don’t have to worry about any delays during the busy festive period.

Wrapping

We provide gift cards and gift wrapping at no extra cost so you can be sure that your gift will be beautifully presented for keeping under the Christmas Tree. Simply leave a comment with your order requesting the item to be gift wrapped and detail your gift card message. At very busy times of the year, sometimes we cannot provide the gift card message service. This is another great reason to get your gifts ordered early!
