Christmas gifts for friends and family at The Dandys

When it comes to Christmas shopping this year, the message is loud and clear. Buy local.

Shopping local will support and retain businesses within our communities and help maintain local jobs. It makes more sense in terms of sustainability and being kinder to the climate as here is no huge shipping costs and local retailers can often turn up the perfect Christmas gift.  At the Dandy’s’ Derrynoose we have many Christmas gift ideas to delight and surprise.

Here are a few suggestions.

Winter Warm Jackets

 After dinner walks will be so much more enjoyable when wrapped up in a warm cosy jacket. Warm up someone you care for with one from our large selection.  Regatta, Rutland and Tuff Stuff are just some of the brands we stock.   and we have jackets here for ladies, children and men.  A practical but welcome Christmas gift.

Kids

Fill a pair of wellies full of sweets for an alternative Irish farming selection box. It will cut down on all the wrappers and cardboard of your standard selection box and is the gift that keeps on giving in muddy puddle for the year ahead!  If your wee wans fancy stepping out like Daddy at the mart, we stock our infamous trader boots in small sizes too! The wee Minbi torches are fantastic little stocking fillers, and you just cannot go wrong with a set of children’s overalls to keep little people warm, dry and clean as they potter about the farmyard. 

Tool sets wrench sets

If you saw how many of our customers (Mainly the men, but not exclusively!) who lovingly drool over our wrench sets, socket sets and assorted tools, you would be gift wrapping them already!  We have a wide selection of tool kits to keep all the handymen happy at this time of year, and it’s a great gift for those hard to buy for people. 

Bench Drill

For the person who has been extra good this year, the Jefferson Bench drill is a luxury 16 speed,750w bench drill with a cast iron working table and cast-iron base. This beauty would make someone happy not just for the season that is in it, but for the coming year ahead. 

Socks and Gloves

Socks and gloves have been the butt of many a Christmas present joke. Forever seen as the go-to present for forgotten uncles, great aunties and dads who have everything, socks and gloves have been underappreciated in the gift giving world   In reality, they are always welcome and there is a good reason why socks and gloves are among the most popular gifts exchanged.  Try trekking outside in December, with bare feet and no gloves keeping your extremities toasty and you won’t be long fully welcoming this thoughtful present.    At the Dandy’s Derynoose, we always have a cosy, comforting pair of socks on offer.  We even have those magical Thermal socks that heat up as you wear them. A hugely popular item with the older customer.  High vis, work socks, commando socks and thermal socks. Enough Christmas socks here at the Dandy’s to pop a pair in every Christmas stocking!

All of us here at the Dandy’s Derrynoose appreciate your business would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours, every good wish for the season and a very Happy and healthy New Year. 

Happy Christmas!
