County Wexford is a wonderland full of shopping streets, experiences and accommodation choices. Give the gift of Wexford this Christmas!
Christmas is just around the corner, but fear not if you havenβt started your shopping just yet! We have created a useful guide to Christmas shopping in Wexford, outlining a list of accommodation and experience providers that you can gift this Christmas. Shopping locally is more important now than ever, so we have made it even easier for you!
Wexford is a haven for thrill-seeker breaks and relaxing retreats alike. With everything from surfing along the magnificent coastline to getting pampered in the spa, there are a plethora of fantastic experiences across the county that make ideal and unique gifts for your loved ones.
There are shopping towns dotted around the county that are beautifully lit in the run-up to Christmas. Youβll be sure to find all kinds of stores from fashion boutiques to book shops in each town. Not to mention some lovely cafes and restaurants to pop in for a steaming beverage and a hot meal. All that shopping is tiring work!
Our #TravelTuesday tip: If you are shopping online, try your best to visit online stores of Wexford businesses. Many businesses have had to move their stores online in recent months, so you can still get that gift that you are looking for. Not sure what to get someone? Gift vouchers from a local business are a great choice and you can support local while you shop! Also, please be sure to abide by the restrictions when you shop. Wear a face covering, sanitise your hands and keep your distance.
Take a look at the shopping towns below and just some of the gifting options available:
Bunclody
Bunclody is a quaint town in North Wexford with a number of stores that put an emphasis on shopping locally. The main street is regularly decorated by local artists from ArtBank Bunclody, so keep your eyes peeled for their Christmas decorations!
Memberships and society packages
Food hampers
Always a lot of delicious options to choose from at Sugar & Spice Bunclody.π€€ Whoβs hungry? π
