SnooZip Win Fáilte 2025
We’re thrilled to announce SnooZip as our Fáilte 2025 winner, and we couldn’t be more excited to be working with them!
SnooZip is far from your average baby brand, it’s where Irish humour, wit, and craic meet sustainability. Crafted from 100% organic cotton, SnooZip delivers playful, practical designs that stand out from the crowd.
Founded by Aisling Ryan, a mother of three, SnooZip was born from the idea that babywear should make life easier for parents while still being fun and stylish. From teething bibs with built-in silicone teethers to cosy baby onesies with clever zip designs for easy changes, every SnooZip product is made with care and creativity. They even offer matching onesies for the whole family, perfect for that festive Christmas Eve photo under the tree!
To celebrate their win, SnooZip has created an exclusive print for Carrolls Irish Gifts, “Postcards from Ireland”, available as a bib and onesie set. This charming collection captures the heart of Ireland in playful, colourful detail.
The “Postcards from Ireland” exclusive collection will be available from October 16th in the following stores
College Green, Westmoreland Street, Donegal Place, Cork, Galway and online.
At Carrolls Irish Gifts, we’re proud to champion homegrown talent and continue our tradition of supporting Irish makers. Through initiatives like Fáilte, we’re helping to ensure that Irish creativity continues to shine both locally and around the world.
Discover SnooZip’s “Postcards from Ireland” collection in-store and online now and take home a little piece of Irish charm.
