These artisan gift boxes are stuffed with local goodies (and made in Cork)

Suffering from Christmas exhaustion already?
If your obsession with shopping local is preventing you from finishing the rest of your bits online (in your slippers and jim-jams), we’ve got the perfect solution.
A new Cork company is packing all manner of delicious Irish goodies into stylish boxes to be delivered to your giftee in plenty of time for Christmas.
Bosca Frelli (from ‘bosca’, the Irish word for box and ‘frelli’ “the combination of two fantastic girls’ names”) source beautiful artisan treats and arrange them into covetable gifts that you can order on their website… while drinking a glass of wine.
The sets feature products everyone loves, such as Kinsale’s La Bougie Candles, Cloudberry’s Salted Caramel, Maher’s Coffee, Balsamic Vinegar by Burren Balsamics and Irish Seaweed Biscuits from the fabulous Lismore Food Company.
Starting at €28.50 here, you can choose something small and sweet or go all out with a super gourmet cracker containing the whole shebang…
It’s eco-friendly (food and drink items are packed in a recyclable cardboard tube that will ship easily and safely), quick and easy.
Now, back to that glass of wine…
