kiwis.ie

Dean and Triona Hand opened their Daybreak convenience store over three years ago. Dean, a native of Otago became inpatient waiting for his Christmas box of goodies from home to decided to source his own supply for the shop and then later launched kiwis.ie for those not located in South Tipperary.

Kiwis.ie stocks a wide range of goodies including Whittakers chocolate, L&P, Cheezels, Watties tomato sauce, Maggie dips, Nestle reduced creme, k bars, Speights, Macs, Steinlager and Montheiths.

For a small elivery charge Dean and his team will ship to anywhere in Ireland, normally within 2-3 business days of ordering.

Snowgrass Merino Wool

Helen Thornton lives in Ireland with her husband and three children. Growing up on a farm in New Zealand she realises whats required to keep warm, her passion for merino wool led her to launch a range for Irish and European families.

All of the range is manufactured in New Zealand and the name Snowgrass comes from a type of tussock that grows in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, which just so happens to be where the merino sheep hang out – in the great outdoors!

You'll also find Helen often at the weekend farmers market at Marley Park in South Dublin but you can also purchase directly from the website here.
