My name is Amanda, and I work as Head of Healthcare and Innovation at GS1 Ireland. This year, I have put together a Christmas Gift Guide with a cosy theme: kid-friendly warming hot chocolate kits. These suggestions support GS1 Ireland members and make festive family time easy and fun.
Why this matters
Christmas is about giving, and choosing gifts from GS1 Ireland members means you are backing trusted Irish businesses that care about quality, traceability and sustainability. Every purchase helps local producers thrive.
My top gift picks
- Hot Chocolate Tin – The Chocolate Garden of Ireland
Real chocolate flakes that melt into hot milk for a proper café‑style cup at home. Simple, delicious, naturally gluten free, and perfect for a Christmas movie night with marshmallows.

Charity to support this Christmas
This year, I am supporting Children's Health Foundation that helps families in need during the festive season. Children’s Health Foundation raises vital funds to support sick children and their families in Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) hospitals and urgent care centres – from funding vital life-saving equipment and providing essential patient and parental supports to making ground-breaking, paediatric research possible. And are committed to supporting the little patients and families who attend Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) hospitals and urgent care centres in Crumlin, Temple Street, Tallaght, and Connolly
