Top eight foodie gifts for Christmas under €10

THIS year it wasn’t difficult to find great food gifts for under €10. 

There are wonderful, good-value treats to be found. Supermarkets have plenty of offerings from big brands, but this year I looked for more speciality or new products and was spoilt for choice.

You can’t go wrong in shops such as The Chocolate Shop, On the Pig’s Back and The Real Olive, all in the English Market, Cork, Urru in Bandon; Farm Gate, Midleton; Cinnamon Cottage, Rochestown, Cork; Country Choice, Nenagh; McCambridges Galway; Ardkeen, Waterford; The Village Grocer, Castlemartyr; Rohu, Inishannon; Cavistons, Avoca and Fallon & Byrne, Dublin and great farmers’ markets countrywide.
