I was delighted to be enlisted to assemble a Christmas hamper as corporate gifts for Raylo. I decided to curate a selection of gorgeous items that each touched on one of the following - eco-friendly, sustainability, natural materials, locally made or small business, Belfast themed and artisan. Raylo is a super cool tech company (with an office in Belfast) who offer new and refurbished smartphone subscriptions. I set about sourcing some yummy things including…

Co Couture dark chocolate coffee beans - a superb, multi award wining artisan chocolate company (who also sell a selection of other local treats in their store including Katie Larmour Irish Linen decorations around Christmas time!)

Amberline Preserves - we choose a selection of their various homemade jams of Irish berries and apples, you can find these guys at their farm shop at St. George’s Market

Folk candle - by our friends at FieldDay, the best hipster candle doing the rounds at the moment, I really love their latest packaging

Ballymaloe relish - a traditional favourite (and they also stock Katie Larmour Irish Linen pieces at their cookery school shop in County Cork so we extra love them!)

Yardsman IPA - I thought this refreshing bottled beer an appropriate choose as it has been ‘filtered through Irish Linen’, how awesome 

Turkish Delight from Sawers - one of Belfast’s oldest and most loved delicatessens, they kindly put together these custom sized bags for us  

Suki Tea ‘Belfast Bew’ - a delicious fair-trade cuppa, who started out in St. George’s Market 

Lagan Ribs Irish Whiskey Hot Sauce - you can find their stall at St. George’s Market at the weekend 

…and of course…

a Katie Larmour salvage Irish Linen Christmas decoration - which can be found this 2019 at St. George’s Market at the wonderful ‘Belfast Times’ booth
