Wish list: Inexpensive and elegant homeware gift ideas

Some inexpensive and some elegant gifts make up Esther N McCarthy’s Christmas wishes.

What’s in a name, eh? We love this name in a frame idea. You can make it personal by adding a message, date or event. Or a simple Merry Christmas greeting. Made using wooden alphabet blocks, individual letters are pressed by hand, mounted in a white painted timber frame and presented wrapped in a silver embossed gift box. €49.95 from www.irelandsshowcase.com
