Gift buying: Must-visit craft fairs for quality, locally-sourced treats 

Go off-piste when it comes to gift-giving this Christmas, and opt for unique crafts while boosting micro-enterprises

Thin Line is one of the craftmakers selling products at the Glucksman Craft + Design Fair next weekend. Their map of coastal Kinsale costs €320 and might be a lovely gift for a friend living abroad.

It's the shopping season and pressure is on us to find the perfect gifts for friends and family.

As we’ve all become more intimate with our homes over the last three years, how about giving gifts which are of practical value and look good too?
