If I could give more than 5 starts I would!
I can’t say enough good things about Mavis Nest and the amazing people behind it! From the moment I ordered, I could tell this wasn’t your average online purchase — the care, attention to detail, and genuine passion that went into every step were incredible. The products itself exceeded all my expectations — top-notch quality, beautifully made, and even better than described. You can tell Kata and family truly takes pride in their work and pours their heart into every order.
Customer service is phenomenal — warm, personal, and lightning-fast responses. It felt like buying from a friend who truly values their customers. In a world full of mass-produced stuff, it’s so refreshing to support a small business that truly delivers excellence.
If you’re on the fence — don’t wait! You’ll be blown away just like I was. I’m already planning more purchase. Support Mavis Nest an amazing small business — you won’t regret it!

Beautiful handmade soft toys
Hi Kata.
I met you recently at Gifted in the RDS in Dublin and purchased one of the handmade toys that Klara made for your shop. Her work is incredible and she is so talented. Wishing all of you continued success and keep up the great work.

I bought the lavender whipped body butter and I find it amazing for the entire body, including the face. My face is very reactive to a lot of the cosmetics, but I found this lovely rich cream to be very moisturizing & calming for my dry itchy cheeks, which is really welcoming.

Vegan Friendly
I ordered from this company because I liked their vegan friendly ethos and was delighted with the products (a range of handmade soaps) when they arrived - great quality and terrific value for money, as well as genuine eco packaging.

The Soft Paws Soap workshop is highly recommende
The Soft Paws Soap workshop was uniquely an engaging, thoroughly interesting and fully practical imparting of deep knowledge and long experience in Soap making by Kata, Soft Paws' soap maker. Without previous knowledge at the workshop I made my own soap and gained the confidence and knowledge to continue to develop soap making at home.

Great Irish product and quick delivery
Product arrived really quickly and the packaging was really really nice also. Have used the product since last Christmas and would not go back to a different brand now. This purchase also included gifts for others so hopefully will spread the knowledge of such good stuff!
