We all have one! Your mate with NOTIONS will LOVE these gifts
Notions is a uniquely Irish phenomenon, and we all have at least one mate who is full to bursting with them.
It may have been far from €200 sheepskin gloves she was reared, but that doesn't stop her insisting she can't get through winter without them.
And as anyone who's mates with a notion-head will know, choosing their Christmas present is a form of absolute torture.
Do you give into their carry-on and splash out on a chrome coffee flask or do you turn the other cheek and hand over the scratchy pyjamas you saw in a bargain basket?
Well, we've done the thinking for you on this one.
