Our Christmas Gift Guide 2026
Christmas in Rosslare Strand is our favourite time in the shop. The lights go up, the kettle is always on, and people come in looking for something a little more personal than the usual.
So we've done the thinking for you. Every gift in this guide comes from a maker we know, and each one is something we would happily give ourselves and also love to receive. Here's what we'd pick, and why.
You can shop the full guide online at waveborn.ie/products/christmas-gifts, or pop in and we'll help you choose. We're happy to gift wrap anything and add a handwritten message.
For him
The Sugar Loaf Stargazer tee, Due South. Our own organic cotton tee, printed here in Wexford and Dublin. We love it for the man who's happiest up a hill at night. It's soft, it lasts, and the design starts a conversation.
The Solas tee, Due South. Solas na gréine means sunlight, and this Blue Grey tee carries a hand screenprinted sun on the chest. Organic cotton, easy to wear, and a nice one for the man who is always chasing the good weather.
The Pigeon House tee, Due South. The Poolbeg Chimneys are part of the Dublin skyline, and anyone who grew up with them will smile at this one. A lovely gift for a Dub living away from home.
Ar do Rothar tee, Due South. For the man who's always out on the bike. Irish words, organic cotton, and a design you won't find in every shop.
The Christmas Reindeer sweater, Due South. The one to wear on Christmas morning. It's festive without being silly, and it's made from organic cotton so it's warm and soft.
Irish Mountain Ranges and Pigeon House hoodies, Due South. The hoodie he'll reach for every weekend. A good hoodie never goes unused.
The Explorer Fleece Jacket, Due South. Made from premium recycled fleece, for walks on the beach in December. We picked it because it's the jacket we live in ourselves.
Lighthouses of Ireland playing cards, memory game and jigsaw, The Designer of Things. Beautiful illustrations of Irish lighthouses, including our own local ones. Perfect for the man who likes a game after Christmas dinner.
Irish Pub Playing Cards, Cowfield Design. Hand illustrated cards featuring Irish pubs. A fun one for the man who has a favourite pub and a story to go with it.
Saegul candles. Candles for him that don't smell like a flower shop. The Session and Cliffwalk are our favourites for men.

For her
The Explorer Fleece Jacket, Due South. Cosy, made from premium recycled fleece, and it works for everyone. It's the one we reach for on cold mornings by the sea.
Culu Design earrings. Contemporary statement earrings, handmade in Bray, Co. Wicklow. Each pair is bold and colourful, and they're light enough to wear all day. Pick her favourite colour and you can't go wrong.
