Now you can buy cards, notebooks and soap from a Cork City vending machine

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
And with all non-essential businesses closed due to Covid-19 restrictions for the coming weeks, one Cork City design shop has come up with a genius way to sell their products without any unnecessary social contact.
Bronwyn Connolly, the owner of Wild Design Collective in the Paul Street Shopping Centre, has filled a vending machine with popular bits and bobs for quarantining at home.
Incense & tealight lovers – we won’t let you down, we now have a vending machine outside our store in Paul Street, also a little selection of locally made cards, notebooks & soap. #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness pic.twitter.com/13L71ifKvR

The store, which sells gifts and Irish homewares and accessories, will be restocking their vending machine with incense, tealights, notebooks, greeting cards and handmade soaps until they can reopen their bricks and mortar shop.
Just swing by to pick up what you need when you pop out to collect your groceries.
