Feathering our nests is getting easier with all the online treats available to us. This site is adds to the cause. Based in Kenmare, Co Kerry, the shop gets its name from the Irish for Kenmare, Neidín, which means little nest. Check out their heart-shaped dessert spoons — perfect for something quirky at dinner parties. It has a homeware section but also delves into toys, clothes, books and seasonal products. For a limited time, it is offering free shipping on every item purchased through the website.

2 Industry

The captains of industry out there or those who love an edgy industrial look for their home will like this site. Based out of a shop in Temple Bar in Dublin, it is a Willie Wonka-style emporium of industrial, vintage, upcycled and new things. It sells furniture, lighting, artwork, textiles and accessories. For any movie producers out there, it also provides a rental service for props for a film, photo shoot or set design. So if you are looking for something like, oh I don’t know, an industrial postal desk, this site is for you.
