Our Christmas Gift Guide!
The most wonderful time of the year is here! And this year has been extra special for us already, with a fantastic shout out from Ryan Tubridy on the Late Late Toy Show!! He was talking about our fabulous Roald Dahl cushions, which have since flown out the door! Some of our most sought after cushions are now sold out, but they will all be back in next week; if you would like to reserve one, or be notified when they are back in stock, please call us on 01 679 2155 or email info@talesfortadpoles.ie.
As well as our fabulous cushions, we've got so many more amazing gift ideas: we've got some beautiful new stock, including new books, kitchenware and accessories. Below are some special gift ideas to add to the festive cheer!
Gifts for babies
Christmas is a special time for even the youngest in the family. Sharing classic stories is a lovely way to start building baby's library, while keepsakes help preserve the memory. View our full range of lovely gifts for babies here.
Homewares & Kitchenware
We have a large range of gorgeous homewares in stock too this Christmas. Brighten up someone's morning routine with our Miffy, Moomin or Peter Rabbit kitchenware! Or avail of 20% off our Elsa Beskow kitchenware from Design House Stockholm.
Prints
We have a large range of beautifully illustrated prints for all ages. Go for nostalgia with an image from your favourite children's book, or classical with something from the Golden Age of illustration. Or choose a modern take with our special designs from local artists. We can also frame any print in-store while you wait! Browse our full range of prints here. (You may have also spotted some of our Roald Dahl prints dotted around the Toy Show set!)

Christmas decorations can be charming tokens to help remember each festive gathering. We have loads to choose from this year, including designs from Hans Christian Andersen, Beatrix Potter, Elsa Beskow and Alice in Wonderland. (Most are available in-store only).

We were lucky enough to get to catch up with one of our absolute favourite illustrators, Carll Cneut. We talked to him about some of his earliest memories of picture books, the artists that inspire him and how he creates his rich, sumptuous illustrations.

Over the past few years children have become more and more involved in the environmental movement and now there are loads of fantastic eco-awareness books aimed at children. We've pulled together some of our favourite books which celebrate the natural world and will get children excited about taking care of the environment.
