Snout it from the rooftops!

Looking for somewhere to sniff out the perfect gifts for loved ones this Christmas? Then look no further than Snout in Ballincollig.

Just recently opened in the Old Square, Snout makes it easy for shoppers to find fabulous gifts, shop local, and support Irish makers.

The shop offers a huge range of gifts and homewares from Ireland and select artisanal makers in continental Europe.

Why not give the gift of a cosy throw from Cushendale Mills in Co. Kilkenny, presented in a FairTrade drawstring bag with a witty slogan?

You can also mix and match gorgeous handmade Irish ceramic mugs with tableware from a French factory producing quality artisanal stoneware for 150 years.

Wrap up for winter in cashmere and merino knitwear, hats, scarves, handwarmers and socks made in Ireland or slip on a luxurious pair of naturally dyed cappuccino sheepskin slippers at home.

Make the house glow with a stunning lampshade or a pretty beeswax candle made right here in Cork. Who could say no to a scented candle from Inchydoney Candles?

Snout has what you need to spoil someone you love this year, not excluding yourself! Maybe you need organic skincare products or award-winning gender-neutral perfume? Maybe some silk scarves, Italian bags or some downright cool jewellery? Even your dog can be the envy of its canine friends with a fashionable bandana or bowtie for Christmas.

For the person who has everything, why not give a food hamper made up of crunchy Lismore Biscuits, Bean and Goose single origin chocolate, Skelligs truffles, or a pampering hamper of select natural Irish skincare and aromatherapy products?

Accompanying its large selection of Irish greeting cards, Snout also offers gift-wrapping in return for a small donation to a range of local charities.

At Snout, staff know everything and everybody behind their products and will be delighted to help you choose the perfect gift this Christmas.
