I’m excited to share some amazing gift ideas from GS1 Ireland members that I think you’ll love. These suggestions are perfect for anyone looking to make their festive season extra special while supporting businesses that care.

Charity to Support This Christmas
This year I’m supporting Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. A donation to CFI helps support improved treatment and facilities for people with Cystic Fibrosis in Ireland.
Festive Tip from Me
Why not turn these gifts into a homemade hamper? Include a handwritten note about cheese pairing suggestions and add some fresh fruit from a local greengrocer as a finishing touch!
