Local businesses need our support.

After a challenging year of closures and interruptions, it’s never been more important to keep your cash in the community.

Happily, Cork is home to a top-notch selection of home-grown brands that specialise in more gorgeous gifts and goodies than you can shake a candy cane at this Christmas.

Located on the ground floor of the Cornmarket Centre, Fervor + Hue’s beautiful shop windows boast all the allure of a luxury international retailer. In fact, the business is as Cork as they come; the brand was started right here on Leeside five years ago.

The store stocks a thoughtful selection of furniture chosen with stylish city homes and apartments in mind, as well as a choice of quality soft furnishings, cool lighting, wall art and eclectic decor.

With the team primed to reopen again on December 1st (depending on restrictions), online sales are open and booming and all customers enjoy free shipping on every order over €50 in the Republic of Ireland.

Here are five Fervor + Hue finds to shop now:

1. Bin Stools

Whether you need extra seating for visitors or a spot to perch on during a board game with the kids over the holidays, Fervor + Hue’s brilliant Bin Stools come in a choice of cool colours. Turn them over and they can be used to store Legos, blankets or magazines.

Bin Stools: €27 from Fervor + Hue

2. A selection of sensational Santas

From traditional jolly Santas and reindeer to adorable Nordic gnomes, if you’re in the market for a new Saint Nicholas or a Rudolph for the hall table or mantlepiece, this is where you’ll find it. This cheeky chappy has been making us smile all week.

Classic Gnomes (main image): from €23 here and Christmas Rudolph (above) €24 here. 

3. Faux glow candles

One of the best modern Christmas decor inventions of our time, battery-operated candles are the safest way to light up a window without worrying about your curtains going up in flames. Realistic-looking faux candles can be hard to find but Fervor + Hue has nailed it with this beautiful set, made using real wax.

Battery Operated Timer Candles: from €8.95 at Fervor + Hue

4. Quirky gifts

As well as striking wall art and stunning Christmas decor for every room in your home, Fervor + Hue is also a clever spot to find an interesting gift for a design fan.

Case in point; who wouldn’t be thrilled to unwrap these delightful dachshund bookends?

Dog Book-Ends, €35 here.

5. Cosy cushions

Perfect for turning your sofa into a TV nest for all those Christmas movies, Fervor + Hue is a treasure trove of high-quality comfy, affordable cushions in all textures and colours.
