Cork based Fragment Industrial Design are the masterminds behind these intricate laser cut timepieces aptly titled Breaktime. There's only 90 in existence, available in four different, thoughtfully chosen materials - mirrored perspex, black acrylic, birch plywood and white acrylic. You can get your hands on one here.

Loving these handcrafted skate boards, skim boards and balance boards by Huku Boards, a small company based in Co. Donegal. 100% Irish made from birch plywood, where several layers are glued in a former to create a strong platform. I got to try one of their balance boards at the Dublin Tall ships event on Sunday - normally used to practice surf moves - but ladies these guys do wonders for your core. Lovely to look at too, no? |

Not sure if I actually own any but I'll take Max Benjamin's word for it. It's gorgeous French Linen Water Diffuser made my sister's living room smell like a Provencal laundrette, pretty impressive in my book.(sorry sis!)
Max Benjamin started off as a candle company, run by two brothers Mark and David Van den Bergh, in EnnisKerry, Co. Wicklow. (Max and Ben are their 10yr old nephews, cute!) They do beautifully packaged soy candles (€28) with wonderful sounding fragrances (cassis & white jasmine, mimosa & sweet amber, grapefruit & pomelo, they even have this masculine number for a man treat) and a range of aromatic room diffusers (€35) that come in their own elegant vases. And if you can't decide on a fragrance, you can always start with their signature mini candle gift set.
