AH SURE LOOK IT crafts shop based in Woodquay, Galway, will be hosting a Christmas shopping event for north Galway in Tuam, on Monday, November 18, at Ard Ri House Hotel, from 3pm to 9pm.
The Christmas gift showcase will feature the shop’s own brands, including All The Falling Stars Jewellery, photos by Marta prints and cards, Scents of Galway natural fragrance products, MyGuys felted crafts, along with a host of the shop’s favourite local businesses, artists and makers.
Natural handmade soaps and body butters, knitwear, woodcrafts, wall art, speciality teas and coffees, personalised gifts, and beautiful functional home décor will all feature at the event.
Aisling O Brien, who co-runs AH SURE LOOK IT crafts shop, will be bringing her jewellery brand, All The Falling Stars, to the Evening Craft and Gift Fair in Tuam. She believes there is a huge appetite in towns around Galway for unique, original, gift options to be available locally. People are becoming more conscious about the impact of their spending choices and are gradually moving towards shopping with smaller homegrown businesses.
"It makes a huge difference for creative business people, who pour so much energy into developing their talents and skills, and who love to share their passion and knowledge with their customers.
"Online giants won’t notice that €20 you spend on a gift this year, but you can guarantee the person at your local craft fair or independent shop will be absolutely beaming over it, and truly appreciating the moment of connection shared when you shop with them in person."
