Jean McGrath owns The Baby Shop in Wilton Shopping Centre in Cork, which specialises in personalised gifts for babies.
Although she lost the busy passing trade from nearby Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH) due to public health restrictions, her online business accelerated instead, with orders flooding in from all over Ireland and the UK.
