About Socki.ie

Welcome to Socki.ie, a proudly independent Irish wellness and gifting shop based on the quiet back roads between Boyle, Co. Roscommon and Gurteen, Co. Sligo.

That's a slightly fancy way of saying somewhere lovely in Connacht where the scenery is spectacular, life moves a little slower, and the Wi-Fi usually cooperates.

Behind Socki.ie is me, Rupert.

For more than 20 years I worked in Irish retail and IT, learning two very different trades that turned out to complement each other perfectly. Retail taught me what customers really value—quality products, fair prices and friendly service. IT taught me how to build websites that are fast, secure and easy to use.

When I decided to create Socki.ie, I wanted to bring those two worlds together.

Not another anonymous online shop.

A real Irish business run by a real person, offering carefully chosen wellness products, home fragrances and thoughtful gifts at prices that make sense.

Our Philosophy

Life is busy enough without overcomplicating shopping.

That's why Socki.ie is built around a few simple principles:

  • Stock products people genuinely enjoy using.
  • Keep prices honest and competitive.
  • Deliver excellent customer service.
  • Pack every order with care.
  • Treat every customer the way I'd like to be treated myself.

No gimmicks.

No inflated prices followed by "huge discounts."

No confusing offers designed to make you spend more than you planned.

Just great products, fair value and straightforward service.

Carefully Chosen Products

Everything you'll find at Socki.ie has been selected because it's something I'd be happy to have in my own home or give as a gift.

Our range includes:

  • Premium incense sticks from trusted brands including Satya, Namaste India, Aromatika and Mandala
  • Aromatherapy products and essential oils to help create a calm and relaxing atmosphere
  • Beautiful scented candles, Chakra candles and Zodiac collections
  • Reed diffusers and home fragrance for every room
  • Bath bombs, bath salts and self-care treats
  • Super-soft bamboo socks that have become customer favourites
  • Lavender eye pillows and thoughtful wellness gifts

Whether you're creating a peaceful corner at home, buying a birthday present or simply treating yourself after a long week, we hope you'll find something you'll love.

Honest Prices Matter

One thing I'm quietly proud of is our pricing.

My IT background means I probably spend more time than most people comparing prices across Irish online retailers. Yes, there are spreadsheets involved.

The goal isn't to be the biggest shop.

It's to offer genuine everyday value without cutting corners on quality.

Whenever possible, I work hard to ensure Socki.ie remains one of the most competitively priced Irish wellness and gift shops online.

We also keep delivery simple.

Spend €24.99 or more, and delivery anywhere in Ireland is free.

No hidden catches.

No unrealistic spending thresholds.

Just straightforward value.

More Than Just an Online Shop

Although most of our customers shop online, you can also meet us in person.

You'll find Socki.ie at Castlerea Indoor Market on the first Saturday of every month, where you're welcome to browse, discover new fragrances, ask questions or simply have a chat.

Some people like to experience the scents before choosing.

Others just enjoy supporting a local Irish business.

Either way, we'd love to see you.

Why Shop With Socki.ie?

Because shopping with a small Irish business should feel different.

When you place an order with Socki.ie, you're not dealing with a warehouse somewhere across Europe or a faceless marketplace.

You're buying from someone who genuinely cares about every order that leaves the door.

Every parcel is packed with care.

Every email is answered by a real person.

Every customer matters.

If you ever need advice, have a question about a product, or are looking for something specific, just get in touch. I'll always do my best to help.

Thank You

Running a small independent Irish business is incredibly rewarding, but it's only possible because people choose to shop local.

Every order, every recommendation to a friend, every review and every returning customer helps us continue doing what we love.

It really does mean the world.

Whether you've discovered us through a search engine, spotted us at Castlerea Indoor Market, or had Socki.ie recommended by a friend, thank you for taking the time to visit.

I hope you find something that brings a little more comfort, calm or happiness into your day.
